I have a 2.8gpa/2.7sgpa, and i scored 25/25 on the DAT, what are my chances? I do have a small upward trend, too.

2.8/2.7(1-1/(25+25)) + 3(upward trend) =22%

that can't be an actual formula used by admissions officers....?

think it was a joke

22% is roughly one out of five. So your telling me there is a chance....

Hahaha I love it!

In all seriousness, even schools that love the DAT might have issues with your GPA. I think you will have to wait a year and really work on your GPA. That's just way too low, there are plenty of people that have more solid gpa's with good DAT's that will get in ahead of you. Also, you need a LARGE upward trend from a 2.8/2.7 not a small one.

I don't want to discourage you...

I started off with 3.0 GPA from 135 credits (initial undergrad years)

I had to do 54 credits of post-bacc on a solid 4.0 run, to bring up my original 3.0 --> 3.3..... so as you can see, it is nightmarishly hard to bring up a GPA

Call up some schools and see what they say... 25AA on the DAT is one of the top scores in the country, call and see

A 25 will get you noted but talk about having DAT and gpa scores out of sync.
