I have seen a lot of people feeling pretty confident about their applications this year. I was wondering what one thing on your application will hurt you the most? For instance I think mine is the fact that I got a 14 on the o-chem part of the DAT (still got a 19 aa though). I just think it would be nice to see that we are all human and need to work on a few things. Seeing the negatives can help us all to improve.
 
That pesky mail fraud conviction. 🙂
 
I would have to say my overall ADDSAS gpa of 3.49....I was so close yet so far. A gpa of 3.50 would have been damn nice.
 
Being Canadian, ie a non-citizen
 
Although im not applying now, I can look back and say the only thing that really seemed to be the worst part of my application was my ochem score. My gpa was well over a 3.5 and my dat scores were 20s. I think its not a big deal, everyone has flaws on their transcript, even a C (oh my! gasp!!). I think so long you have a good P.S and nothing too awful (just dont mention time in the loony bin, or the chemical fire you're currently being tried for) and you should be ok. I know some people who have had awful semesters (under 2.0) and still gotten in.
I'm sure everyone has somrthing on their app that they wish they could bring up. For me it was ochem..............Benj, i feel your pain.
