I haven't taken the DAT yet, but I just wanted some input from you smart people on what I should aim for. I also haven't done anything in terms of shadowing/researching, so if you can help me on how to go about doing all that then I would truly appreciate it.
I am entering my junior year of college and planning to apply to dental schools during June 2013. I know my GPA can change, but this is what I have so far:
College: University of Houston
Major: Finance
Current Overall GPA: 3.74
Science GPA: 3.60
Shadowing: 0 hours
Research: 0 hours
Volunteer: 200 hours
Letters of Recommendation: 0
Planning on joining the Pre-Dental Club this year
I do plan on applying to all 3 Texas dental schools (Houston, San Antonio, and Baylor).
-How many shadowing/research/volunteer hours are required/good enough?
-How should I go about getting letters of recommendation? How many do I need? Do they all have to be from science teachers?
-What should I aim for on the DAT to at least get interviews, and hopefully get accepted?
Thank-you guys in advance!
