Anyone have any idea about what my chances would be like for US Dental Schools?

 

I've applied to:

Boston University Henry M Goldman School of Dental Medicine

New York University (NYU)

Nova Southeastern University (NSU)

University of Detroit Mercy (UDM)

University of Nebraska (NEB)

University of Southern California (USC)

University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry (UOP)

 

My DAT scores are :

Reading Comprehension: 20

Biology: 17

Chemistry: 15

Science Total: 16

Academic Average: 17

PAT: 21

Chalk Carving: 22

 

My Undergraduate GPA is:

Inc +/-: Without +/-

BCP 3.39 3.54

Science 3.33 3.48

Non-Science 3.62 3.62

Total 3.42 3.52

 

 

Also, does anyone know where to find information for financial aid for Canadian Student studying in USA, and scholarship information.

 

Thanks in advance!

Sorry I only looked at this for a second, but just from the schools you selected...I thought Mercy had a min of 17 for each section (this may had been for case western, I forget which one it was for exactly), but I'd probably look into that if I was you.

Also from UoP, I've heard on SDN that they put quite the emphasis on the DAT, so just from you stats and their previous records, I wouldn't say that school is your best shot. Every school has their outliers though, so you never know.

I'd definitely look for the ADEA book for the previous year accepted averages for accurate feedback though, or you can search for doc toothache on SDN, he has the link for the stats.

Chalk carving? You mean soap carving?

I think they call it chalk carving on AADSAS. A bit outdated.
