where do you guys see this poor guy going...

what do you guys think...

i have a 3.3 sGPA and overall GPA @ university of california, irvine. i got a 20 TS/19AA/19PAT. 2nd time taking the test.

i've done like 4 quarters of research. worked at a dentistry for 4 years.

i'm just wondering if that is good enough for me to move on towards the lighter side of the resume ie. doing fun hobbies, helping out at 3rd world nations, becoming more active at church, etc. to beef up my application.

thanks

don't know, others can give a better advice, but the advice i get from people is to apply as early as possible to as many schools as possible

you want a true answer Truong???
your GPA is 3.3 not strong: maybe take more classes to pull up GPA to 3.5
your DAT is around 19: i think you should retake the DAT and try to get at least 22 or 23 for better chance.
that my opinion as a friend. don't try to be mean or anything. good luck.

^ Disagree. Just because the average SDN score is 22, does not mean you can't get in with a lower score. People can, and do, get in with lower.

I'd say just apply broadly and early. Apply to your state schools and get a hold of the big ADEA guide to see which schools accept a lot of out-of-staters with your stats.

just listen to rose786, try to apply and wait
