Hi! I am a junior public health student with a minor in chemistry. I have taken almost all of my pre-reqs so far for the DAT and dental school requirements. I attend Wayne State University. I plan on taking my DAT in May.

Here are my stats:
3.7 overall GPA
3.5 science GPA
3 years of research in HIV/AID studies here in Detroit
150 dental clinic volunteer hours
75 shadowing hours
students who were in the same program as me has gotten a DAT score of 25+, so i am hoping somewhere around there.

I am just wondering so far what schools I should have on my list to apply to for next year matriculation. Anything will help because there are not a lot of dental students I know that are around to ask questions!!

I am looking at UMich and Detroit Mercy rn bc im poor and would be living for free if i went to these schools lol

Thanks in advance

looking into in state schools is a great idea and good place to start.

beyond that, I would update this post with a DAT score.
