What should I do this year?

[peerless218]

I applied to dental schools already. However, this is my situation. I bombed the DAT 2 days ago. Only got a 17AA and a 22 PAT. This is DEF not a good DAT score when you only have a 3.46 GPA and 3.41 science (On ADDSAS I only have a 3.3 and a 3.17 for science because I have 1 F in ochem, there's a LOOOOONNNNG story behind it). I need to wait for 90 days before I could take my DAT again. By that time, I know it's WAY yoo LATE for the interviewing process!!!! Do I have any shots at making it this year? assuming I get like a 20 on my AA next time? 😕😕
Wish I've known about this website eariler to know all the RECOMMENDED material besides studying only off Kaplan.

My other stuffs are
School's commitees letter as my letter of rec, along with 6 letters of rec which I requested from professors/dentists.
Vice president of the dent-club
marketing director of the club
no research experience
almost 2000 volunteering hours
900 from dent office
120 from physical therapy
180 from a physician's office
and rest are from misc. places.

I dont know...what do you guys think?🙁🙁🙁

I'm in th same boat....is December too late to send DAT retake scores?

most schools try to fill their class by Dec 1 so I would say that december is a little too late to take it again. USC is an exception. they don't send out exceptances until later. Hope for the best I guess
