I have applied to 18 schools. I do not know if I was aiming too high or if I have a chance in getting accepted to any of these schools.

I have a non science major with a double minor in chemistry and biology.
Very active in clubs and have a lot of volunteering/ shadowing hours.

19AA/19TS/22PAT

gpa: nonscience 3.58/ science 3.68 (.. thought it wouldve been higher)

applying to BU, HOW, LECOM, NYU, RSDM, TEMP, OSU, TUF, UCONN, UF, UMD, MICH, MIN, UNC, VCU, WVA, Nova, USCF.

Should I apply anywhere else???
have not receive any interviews or responses from any schools yet because my dat score were sent in late. so i am really nervous.....

Anyone else getting interviews recently?
 
Do schools average DAT scores? Like if you got high 20s on some sections and average 18s on other sections for one test, but on the second try, you basically swapped and did well on the ones you got 18s but your 20s are now the 18s. I didnt study as much for the ones I did good in the first time during my 2nd try. Big mistake. :p

Waste of money unless you improve your scores.

I'm living evidence that it's not a waste of money! I applied to 14 schools with 20AA/18TS/21PAT, that same scary scary 15 in bio, and a slightly lower GPA and sGPA. I had 6 pre-december interviews with 4 acceptances and 2 wait-lists on December 1st! It's not all about the numbers- just apply to the right places, and boost your application in other ways, such as many meaningful extracurriculars, a well-written and authentic personal statement, and some great LORs. If anyone wants more details on my experience, feel free to PM me!
 
19AA 19TS 17 PAT 15QR
3.92 Overall & Science GPA
6 Pre-Dec Interviews
2 Rejections (Nova, Pitt)
2 Waitlists (Louisville, Roseman)
2 Acceptances (UNLV, Creighton)
2 Post-Dec Interviews (Tufts, VCU)
 
Very cool guys!!!

I have a 19AA/18TS/21PAT

3.75 sGPA, 3.7 oGPA w/some cc credits. Great work/volunteer experience.

Though I am retaking it's awesome to know I would have a shot with these scores.
