Hey everyone,
I'm in a bit of a confused situation and need some advice. It looks like in all likelihood I won't get into dental school this cycle. I applied to six schools, one of which I just interviewed at, though I feel as if I didn't adequately sell myself, two that haven't yet offered an interview and at this point most likely won't, and three I was rejected from (one of which I interviewed at). I know that my gpa was pretty average (regular = 3.51, sGPA = 3.44) but I did very well on my DAT with 25 aa. I'm pretty sure my lack of success is due to my late AADSAS submission (mailed to schools early September), lack of research, minimal volunteering hours (less than 100 total), and a very poor first interview.
I'm about to complete my undergrad, and if I don't get into a dental school I have no idea what I would/should do between now to prepare for when I reapply, assuming I don't get into the school I recently interviewed at. I have a general idea of what I can improve on because I know what areas were weak in my application, and any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
