AADSAS Submitted Date: not yet (end of this week for sure) - does anyone think this is a problem?? I just took the DAT and wanted to have the scores before I submitted the App.
UBTom said:Improve your DAT score a bit, and you should have:
- a very good shot at UMich, UDM, and Case,
- a reasonable chance at Indiana,
- and at the very least be considered at OSU (which gives preference to Ohio residents) and Marquette (does not interview out-of-staters).
Good luck!

you can visit the school, but Marquette again does not require an interview.
Nismoboy said:By Tejas, are you referring to Texas. I hope not because Marquette, last time I checked, was in Milwaukee, WI.

I don't have any research experience. would it affect?

Love said:Yeah, some of the schools are - at best - a long shot. My thoughts with those are "you never know" ...with the right letters, experience, and so on, you might just get an interview and from there who knows what can happen.
You tell Lumbee to get 17's (granted his GPA is 3.8) and he's fine. With the exception of PAT and O. Chem I got all 17, 19 and 20. Recall I took DAT before taking O. Chem, the presumption there being that if I scored on O. Chem the way I scored on other sciences I would be 18+...
I'm sure Perfect, JRogoff and others realize that if a school's average is 18, 19, 20, etc...that said school accepted students with 16's and 17's and those scores were balanced out by the many 20's and 21's.
So why be a nay-sayer? Some with better numbers wont get in, some with similar numbers wont get in, and some with worse numbers wont get in. This is nothing profound, it's just the nature of admissions. Still, myself and many others with similar and lower schools will get in.
Truth in the written form. Good luck to all.

BTW, This website has been a great stress relieve! I am so glad to know that everyone is as panicked as me! This is my second application cycle. I only applied to OHSU last year and was interviewed, waitlisted in March/04 and just received my denial letter in Sept/04 for the class of 2004. That was the only school I choose last year. Needless to say I am very worried that I will get an acceptance letter this year. I already warned my husband (but he is very supportive) we are moving to WHERE EVER I get in.
bspeedy00 said:So, did anyone submit their AADSAS about the same time as I? I am wondering when it will be processed? Anyone have an opinion (pro or con) regarding the schools I applied to?
bspeedy00 said:I am looking for input about schools, not sarcasm. Perhaps you implication that Harvard is the best choice is not an opinion shared by all.
