Guest shesallDAT Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Hi, I'm a first time poster but have enjoyed all the helpful info on here. This is an awesome resource! I'm thinking of applying for Dent at U of A (for Fall 2006) as an OOP, and just wanted to know some stats of any OOPs that were accepted for this year. As they only accept 2-3, I suspect the stats are much higher than on the U of A website. Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dentosaurus Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Forgot about the details (depends on how it is translated), but roughly 3.80-3.9 for avg. ~3.95 pre-req (not factoring in anthing for A+, which amounts to 70% of pre-reqs, may have helped?). Interview, no idea, guess so so. for DAT, did well on everything the school didn't require (>99% cumulative percentile), but may only be around 70% on carving, etc., the significant elements to UofA. Only applied to UofA, accepted, early admission. I know there at least 2-3 out of the first 19 admitted who are OOP. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dentforsure Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Hi there, got in off the waitlist at UA as oop, i turned it down...so that means they accepted at least 5 oops. gpa: 83% carving: 24 PAT: 22 Academic - 20 reading - 16 :x these DAT scores were my old scores...my new scores were better...but i didn't send it to UA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dentosaurus Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 My DAT is not as good as dentforsure's old scores, except the academic part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dent08 Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 U of A doesn't look at the academic score on the DAT. Just carving, PAT, and reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dentosaurus Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 True, the main reason that I had quite a few sleepless nights during the last few months...:\ Also, I just realized that I missed the reading report by dentforsure, probably because of . I actually got a better score there, 20 to be exact --- there isn't much room below 16 since 15 is the cutoff. I am wondering about some school's (UA included) decision to ignore the academic portion of DAT. Is it because science grades have already been counted in the admission decisions, therefore the academic part of DAT becomes redundant? Still, I thought the purpose of a standard test is to level the playing field and calibrate the grades from different schools. Any thoughts?

Guest Dent08 Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Yea, I think that U of A ignores it because they feel your pre-req GPA is a good enough representation of how well you know your sciences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest apical meristems Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Hey Dentosaurus, Did you get into Alberta Dent? Later, ap Oh, I see that you did. Where are you coming from? I'll see you in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Justanotherkeener Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Hey dentosaurus, congrats on your admission! Did you just complete your second year of uni? I only ask because you are an OOP applicant and you only applied to UA. Regardless, good luck in August with intro block. Keener Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dentosaurus Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Thank you all for the good will and same to you. I think you, along with many posters on this board, really helped me to prepare for my application (did make me nervous with some of your great credentials though, especially A P). I am in Alberta but not a resident (can that really happen? Yea, for complex reasons that I would rather not elaborate). Not a 3nd year student as my age is sort of given away by my screen name...:\ Funny that one can modify a post (I thought I was seeing doubles...). Maybe I could take back one of my "not-so-nice" posts, just a thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shesallDAT Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Thanks for the info, guys! Anyone else with DAT stats to share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest apical meristems Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Hey Dentosaurus, You were worried about my stats?? :b Yeah right. You're kicking my butt. By the way, where are you from? I see your OOP. Did you get your Orientation package in the mail? Just got mine today. Later, ap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dentosaurus Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 AP, I got mine on Wednesday, I think, since I live close. The way Orientation week is described sounds funny, just hope weather is good. But courses look exciting. I am asian. As for stats, yes, I was positively worried. Honestly, you and dentforsure kicked mine in the DAT department. Seems many on this board did. Back to the original question of this thread, nothing is one dimensional... So it is good to keep things in perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
