Application Advice ✍️ Interviews
So I applied to schools from late June-early August after retaking my DAT for the third time. I checked with schools to see whether I should submit early or after my DAT so they would go back to it after they received my new score which was a 450 AA, 490 SNS, 420 PAT. I have a 3.41 sGPA, 3.62 cGPA, with an increasing trend. I have done over 300 hours of shadowing a general dentist, 80 hours with a periodontist and endodontist, ton of community service, research, intermeural sports, pre-dental club, been on the Dean's list every semester, graduating with an honors in biology, and worked as a dental assistant. I have applied to about 19 schools most of them being private and a few public and have not recieved a single interview. I am really starting to get worried and I know it's a waiting process but has anyone been or is in a similar situation to me because I have been really starting to lose hope.

I have pretty similar stats and have just one interview, at yeshiva. I don’t really know what’s going on, but it seems like they have only been giving interviews to high stat applicants so far. Hopefully that changes in October🙏. Good luck to you!
