I was hoping to apply to UPENN in 2012, I was just wondering my chances and where else I might be a valid applicant?

AA: 20
PAT: 22
GPA: 3.80
Science GPA: 3.86

Also, I have a lot of extra-curriculars.

Thanks for the insight!

you should probably look into research since UPenn gets a lot of research funds and they are big on research. Having that on your resume will probably help you stand out in the applicant pool.

Your DAT scores are above-average, and your GPA is very good. You will be applying with nearly identical stats to what I had.

You will be very competitive at almost all schools (with the exception of Harvard, Columbia, where your stats are lower than their averages). You need to research the schools and areas that you are interested in: you can do that looking through the ADA website.

Here are a list of schools I recommend (without knowing any of your extra-curricular activities or anything else):

Creighton
Midwestern-AZ
Midwestern-IL
Western
Nova
OHSU
Indiana
Louisville
Marquette
USN
Temple
UNLV

These are either private schools or out-of-state friendly schools. Of course, if you have a state school, don't forget that one.

add BU, Tufts, and NYU on that too. they take many OOS since they're all private schools. Plus, the class sizes are all pretty big.

UPENN? Only God knows, but your numbers seem fine enough to get you an interview I guess.
