What are my chances?

[predentbruin]

Hello all,

I have been a long time reader of these forums, but I have never posted anything. I've learned a lot from you guys, so thank you for that. After receiving my DAT scores, I wanted to ask what you guys thought about my chances for Dental School, particularly the California schools. Here are my stats:

4th year undergraduate @ UCLA
Overall GPA - 3.3
Science GPA - 3.1
Overall DAT - 20
Bio 19
Gchem 20
Ochem 19
Reading Comp 19
Math 24
PAT - 20

- 1 year of research
- completed UCLA predental volunteering program
- 2 years of leading a religious group on campus
- 4 years of leading a religious group at church
- completed a predental concepts course
- completed a predental denture course and received high score to get a letter of rec
- plan to shadow two dentists from now until dental school

I am going to be applying the next cycle, meaning June 2006. Hopefully I'll be sending my application as early as I can.

So what do you guys think? What are my chances for dental school. I especially want to go to to a school in california (UCLA, USC, UCSF, UOP, Loma Linda). Please let me know and let me know what I can do to strengthen my application if need be. Thanks!

Forget UCLA cuz of ur GPA.

UoP will be tough becuz you don't have 20's across the board.

UCSF and USC are doable.

Since you're religious, Loma Linda is a good choice 4 u
