4. Duke Varisty Football Team, Shadowing at UBuffalo Dental School, Working at Dental School in Equipment Repair
5. UBuffalo and UPittsburgh (only two i've interviewed for)
6. Advice: apply early and take the DAT's early. I applied late and didn't take my DATs till late september which means schools didn't get my scores till mid October. I'm lucky I got the interviews that I did.

I swear I've posted this exact same stuff before but...

1)Undergrad: San Diego State University
2)Grades: 3.55 GPA/ 3.75 Science GPA - English Major with a minor in Art
3)DAT Scores: AA=22, TS=21, PAT=23
4)Extracurriculars: 40+ hours of shadowing, 100+ hours of volunteering in dental clinics, worked in dental offices for 8 months, Officer or member of various student and national organizations such as Student Health Advisory Board, American College Health Association, Predental Club, Alumni Associations, Ceramic Arts Association, etc.
5)Accepted: USC, Nova, Pacific
6)Advice: Find a way to stand out of the crowd by looking for a change that is needed for the better and make it happen. I think most schools look for people who can do this since it is a sign of both compassion and leadership. Also, in the interview, try not to get too nervous. It's a unnerving process, so ADCOMs expect you will be a little nervous, but all they really want if for you to be honest and who you are.
