Maybe, GPA is low nowadays and your DAT is like 10 years ago competitive. A few years back you may have been considered if you were first round applicant. Best of luck on your biology career though.

plz go to Harvard, UPenn, Columbia, UCSF. Save interview cost by limiting to only top schools.

There are thousands who just want to get invited for an interview.... 😡

good luck on your dentistry career... once you graduate .. it is more like who you know ...how soon you can set up your own practice... meaning you have
to work on social connections.... many doctors are brain smart.... in the real
world.... it is people networking... 😎
 
So let me get this straight...you were smart enough to pull an extremely high GPA in a reasonably tough major, smart enough to score highly on the DAT, you've been around the forums for two months now so you've doubtlessly seen predents.com and the average stats at the schools you've applied to, yet you're not smart enough to know if you have a reasonable chance of getting in? And you expect us to believe that? Here's the deal: you know you have good stats and a very good chance at all of those schools, but you need validation from a group of power nerds with nothing better to do with their time than post on a pre-professional message board. My advice?...spend the next several weeks contemplating the full meaning of the phrase "It's Millertime".
 
haha SDN moments like these just seem to make my day :meanie:
 
firing up the grill... wow... near 4.0, (possible) minority card, wiche.... seriously?!
 
Are international applicants held to higher standards?

If so, then I don't see why you guys are hating on this person.

how can you be skeptical of your score when it's computer based...unless it's a big major mistake on prometrics' part...
