Date of submission: Plan to apply as early as possible (TMDSAS in May, AADSAS in June)
Overall GPA: 3.45 (possibly 3.49 at end of semester)
Science GPA: 3.17 (possibly 3.24 at end of semester)
Bio-Chem-Physics GPA: 3.33 (possible 3.41 at end of semester) (how much does this GPA matter btw? Do schools calculate this separately from the science GPA?)
DAT score : AA: 27/ TS: 24 / QR: 30/ RC: 30/ Bio: 24/ GC: 26/ OC: 23/ PAT: 22
State of Residence: Texas resident
Took 2 gap years, while taking postbacc classes. The GPA’s listed include my postbacc GPA. Both undergrad and post bacc universities are in Texas.
Major: Biology
Minority? No
Reapplicant? No
Nontrad? No
Shadowing Experience: 1000+ hours (Shadowed in 2 offices for 3 summers)
Volunteering Experience: ~100 hours in a club (will try to cram in more hours during the next 2 months. Is this advisable btw?)
Employment: Dental Assistant (few months, may try to temp a bit in the next 2 months)
Research: 3 upcoming publications, dental research for 3 years at UT Houston
Other Extracurriculars: Leadership in a predental club (president)
School list:
All Texas schools : UT Houston, UT San Antonio, Texas A&M
UoP (interested in the 3 year program)
Columbia (Would this be a possibility due to my research bg and DAT? If the chances are too low, then maybe I shouldn’t waste my time)
New England
NOVA
NYU
Western/LECOM/Creighton
My hope is to stay in Texas if possible due to the great education and lower tuition. Columbia/UoP would also be a dream. All others are backup schools, and I would happy to just receive one acceptance if possible. Which schools do y'all think would be best for back up schools? How many schools do y’all recommend I apply to? My stats are quite lopsided (high DAT, low GPA), so I’m unsure of where I stand.
Thank you for all advice!
