This is the "Ask the Experts" forum, not the general predental forum. You will probably get a better response there.

That said, very few Canadian applicants that we considered had GPA's of less than 3.0 unless you did a serious postbac program in the US (even so, not with a GPA below 3.0 in our case).

This might help:

To Canadian Applicants:
In general Canadians should apply only to these schools that accept Canadians based on previous years stats, I listed them below.
For Canadians must have GPA over 3.6 and DAT over 20 and EC +++++ and really good references and interview. From last year posts I can see that most Canadians accepted had GPA over 3.7 and above aver DAT.
All universities have preference for in-state applicants who have lower stats compared to out of state and then international students so posted average GPA and DAT stats are really skewed .
For example, for my DD1 at NOVA GPA was 3.7 and DAT 21 but for OOS and Canadian stats were: 3.8 and 22

From ADA 2017 data, DD1 admitted:
#of Canadians.... Aver DAT Aver GPA for all students

D. Mercy 25............... DAT 20.2.......GPA 3.6
NYU 32 .................. . . 21.............. 3.49
Boston 7.................... 19.5........ GPA 3.41
Case 3.............. .......... . 19.9 ........ .....3.6
NOVA 4 .................... DAT 21..... ...3.7
Minnesota 3.................... .20........ 3.58
Pennsylvania 2 ............. ....21........ GAP 3.68
Pittsburgh 2............. DAT 21....... GPA 3.64

UNIVERSITY AT BUFFALO: 2 (but they interview Canadians only after January 1st)
TEMPLE: 2
MIDWESTERN , IL: 3
This is a good list of schools to apply to. I hope it helps Canadians applicants. Good luck !!
