Thank you! 

IP

GPA: 4.15

DAT: RC 23 AA 22 PAT 22  

Interview: Unsure of score but it went really well

 

To prepare I bought the blue Kaplan DAT prep book and a book specifically to help prepare for the PAT section (The Gold Standard)

KDent15, I have a question for you! from my understanding, you applied to the DDS program at DAL last year and were wait listed, this year you were accepted! I was wondering what you did differently in this one year that helped your application. Did you go back and take more courses to get a higher GPA or did you rewrite the DAT? I am asking this because I am wait listed now, I want to apply again next year if this year doesn't work, but I don't know what's the best way to improve my application. any advice is appreciated

It is hard to say honestly... I did rewrite the Dat, but only because it had expired since I wrote it 2 years ago and I received pretty much the same scores on it. I interviewed again so maybe I had a higher interview score this year? I wish I could be of more help but I am really not sure what made the difference. I did not retake any courses. Keep your fingers crossed and hopefully you hear some good news soon!
