Hello,
I’m thinking about applying this cycle even though it’s a little late. But I just wanted to know what you all thought about my chances.
Date of submission: By end of September waiting on letter of recs
Overall GPA: 3.4
Science GPA:3.01
Bio-Chem-Physics GPA:3.0
DAT score: 21 AA/ 23 TS/ 16 PAT
Gen chem: 24
Orgo: 22
Biology: 23
RC: 19
QR: 17
State of Residence: Florida
Undergrad Attended: University of Florida
Minority? Yes Mexican American
Reapplicant? No
Nontrad? /No
Shadowing Experience: 100 hours general dentist
Volunteering Experience: I was involved in different organizations but these two have had the largest impact on me.
-Club organization focused on creating 3D printed prosthetics for kids with missing upper extremities
-Nonprofit organization focused on providing medical and educational aid to Syrian refugees locally and abroad.
Employment: 600 hours direct patient contact hours working as a certified nursing Assistant. I know this isn’t dentistry related but it’s actually the reason why I got interested in dentistry. Spending time assisting geriatric patients with daily functional activities was a humbling experience.
Research: None.
Other Extracurriculars:
-School soccer team
-leadership positions in various organizations
Relevant Honors or Awards: None.
LOR type and strength: 2 science professors but may be pretty standard.

In all honesty I am leaning towards retaking DAT and gaining more dental experience before applying. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
