Hello,

I am a Canadian who is planning to apply to the US dental schools next year. I just took DAT, and I am curious about my chance of getting in. Here are my stats:

---------------------------------------------------------------
gpa - slightly above 3.8
sgpa - about the same (slightly less)


DAT (the US one)

Perceptual Ability - 23
Quantitative Reasoning - 19 :bang:
Reading Comprehension - 22
Biology - 20
General Chemistry - 29
Organic Chemistry - 21
Total Science - 22
Academic Average - 22 (98.9%)

Shadowing - 60 hours
Research Assistant in the lab
Some volunteer works
Several extracurricular activities (clubs, etc)
------------------------------------------------------

I know that this is an acceptable stat for the US citizen/permanent resident, but I am a Canadian, so I am worried if this is not good enough. The schools that I am applying to are these (the bold/underlined ones are those that I am particularly interested in):

Boston University
Case Western Reserve University
Columbia University <--(this would be my first choice)
Creighton University
Marquette University
New York University
Nova Southeastern University
Temple University
Tufts University
University of Detroit Mercy
University of Pacific
University of Pennsylvania
University of Southern California


I know that it is a bit long to read, but I am really nervous about my stat. Please evaluate my chance seriously.

Thank you
