Hey guys! So I'm applying this cycle and I have everything ready but I am not sure what schools I am capable of getting accepted into. Here are my scores:

DAT:
BIO 19
GC 23
OC 25
PAT 22
RC 18
QR 17
AA 20
TS 21

GPA: 3.4
Science GPA: 3.6

I have over 100+ hours of shadowing and I started assisting an Oral surgeon this summer. I volunteered to tutor chemistry for an 1 hr/week for about a month. I have a lot of other community service hours too. I also have an officer position at my schools Pre-dental society.

The schools I am applying to for sure are:
UF
NOVA
UNC
LSU

I am more interested in schools on the east coast.
What other schools should I apply to with a chance of getting accepted?

Thank you!

Uh what's your residency? Because like 3/4 of those schools are high IS selective

The thing is with Boston University and Tufts is that they both don't accept AP/IB credits as prerequisites, which I have from my high school for Bio 1 and gen chem 1 :/

Did you take any upper-level courses? I'm fairly certain you can get out of the basic pre-reqs if you take upper-level courses at college to prove your proficiency in those subjects.

Yes I did, I took Cell biology, Zoology and Embryology. Also Microbiology and Biochemistry with both labs.

Do you think I should add Upenn and Colombia to my list? I am still at 5 schools.

So I think you should e-mail BU and TUSDM and ask them if those substitutions are approved for Bio 1 and Chem 1. If they are, then add BU and TUSDM.

See the statistics below for UPenn and Columbia from their websites. I think you have a better shot at UPenn than Columbia. If I were in your shoes, could afford the application fee, and I wanted an Ivy, I'd add UPenn definitely. Columbia is up to you.

Re. Columbia
"The average GPA of the 2012-13 enrollees is 3.6....
We have no minimum or cut-off scores. The mean DAT score of the class entering in 2012 was 23, (the national average is roughly 18); however, the range varies from year to year."
