Hey guys, I am a Canadian applicant and I was wondering with my stats which schools should I apply to?

GPA: 3.34

Canadian DAT scores:
AA 19
RC 17
BIO 19
CHEM 20
Perception 21
Carving 25

Thanks in advanced
 
I dont know. I applied with 3.42 GPAs, 19 DAT , 100+ hours of shadowing, 300+ of volunteering and got no interviews. You gota bring up the GPA and retake the DAT.

Google is your friend!

I found this posted in the comments section of a blog but it seems accurate. This comment was made in 2009 so take it with a grain of salt. Best of luck 👍

"Top 10 Nation recommends applying to the following US dental schools for Canadian applicants IN THIS PRIORITY ORDER: Boston University, New York University, Tufts University, University of the Pacific, Temple University, University of Detroit Mercy, and Case Western Reserve University."
 
Tufts is a no go, no longer canadian friendly. Pacific is tough for anyone out of cali. Case/Detroit will pretty much automatically filter any international below 3.5.

With a 3.34 and below 19AA it is very unlikely there will be any interview invites.


Need atleast!!! 3.5 gpa and 20AA as an international.
