Okay, perhaps this isn't the best place to ask this..but I am new to SDN and forums in general, so any help would be greatly appreciated! I am simply wondering how likely I am to get into some of the schools I have applied to with my current stats. Thanks for the help everyone and good luck with interviews!

A little about me:
I am currently scheduled to take the DAT September 12th, 2017. I have served 7 years in the Army National Guard since I was 17 and have obtained many leadership experiences through my time in service. I was an RA at my university, I was the president of an Honors Biology Society, was involved in many other STEM organizations on campus, have over 100 hours of shadowing, earned the Dean's award for my college and some other awards (the dean was one of my LOR), have volunteered at many events to obtain volunteer work hours.

GPA:3.80
sGPA:3.73
Residency: Illinois
Major: Biology
Minors: Chemistry and Art
DAT: scheduled to be taken 9/12/17 (*the pessimist in me thinks that I will get around an 18-19*)
LOR: I feel that I have 4 really strong LORs
PS: I also feel that my PS is very strong
AADSAS: completed/submitted, just waiting on my DAT.

Schools I applies to: (*=particular interested in)
Nova, UF, *LECOM, *UIC, SIU, MWUIL, MWUAZ, USC, *NYU, Columbia, *UPenn, Iowa, Colorado, Indiana, UNLV, UTennesee, Maryland, *Marquette

Really good app. To be competitive for all of those schools shoot for 21+ on the DAT.

Taking it 9/12 is very very late, even if you got a 23+. I'd still apply, but you may not hear back from schools. Iowa, for example, starts out interviews very early and defers late apps.
 
What schools have supplemental apps other than nova and penn?
 
What schools have supplemental apps other than nova and penn?
you can check the adea portal or the website of each school. most schools that i know of (in my situation as a canadian) have a supplemental app or processing fee. some of the schools have the questions on the adea portal and then you just submit a fee afterwards

Just a FYI- you CAN submit your application without your DAT. With your late DAT date, it would be to your advantage to submit as early as possible!.

Good luck and Thank you for your service. My boyfriend is in Army National Guard himself, so I'm rooting for you!!

GPA (overall; science): 3.67 GPA; 3.8 sGPA
DAT (AA/TS/PAT/RC/QR): 21/21/22/22/20 (none under 17)

I was also rejected from UCSF and wait-listed for interview at MWU-AZ on 7/8 and haven't heard any further news.

Was wondering if a change on the aadsas status to "Received/ Application Complete" without an e-mail invitation to interview should be perceived as a rejection? I'm waiting for an interview with Pitt (one of my top choices) and just realized that the status is different from other schools that I'm still waiting to hear from. Everything seems to be taking a little longer for OOS schools, even private ones. Has anyone received an interview with Pitt?
Thanks everyone!
