Guest NOURA19 Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 hey everybody, Well I just got my Dat scores. Since I only studied one week in advance of the Dat, I was not expecting superb grades, and trust me...their not!! But I would like to know what are my chances of being accepted anywhere with a gpa of 3.87 major: Biology (will have my bachelors degree by the end of the year) DAT: BIO-19 CHEM-20 SCIENCE TOTAL-19 AA-18 PAT-14 (OUCH!!) CARVING-16 READiNG-15 THANKS ALOT!!!>: >: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NOURA19 Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 hey all, I accidently clicked on the angry face icon in my last message...sorry. Anyways, good luck to all with admissions and DAT results!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pearlywhitesBC Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 ha ha... Mr. angry face shows up again! Everyone who uses the "enter" button is going to look like a grouch! Anyway, your scores aren't too bad....contrary to what you may think! It all depends on where you are applying. Your GPA is quite stellar and that's your main selling point. McGill and UofT seem to focus more on GPA than on the DAT scores. I'm not sure about UBC but they seem to lean a bit in that direction too. The only school where it might matter is UofA - you need a minimum score of 15 on all of the DAT sections to be considered. That's OK though - Edmonton is REALLY COLD! So I wouldn't be worried - my guess is that you're likely to get a couple of interviews. And that's what really makes the difference! Good luck!!

Guest NOURA19 Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Thanks alot for the reply.....I was so worried about my DAT grades, I appreciate it.

Guest SharkCatcher Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 hmm, i know that for mcgill u have to watch out for AA and PAT look up the percentiles for the scores. if u make the 50th percentile, then you are with those that should feel ok. Otherwise prepare to rewrite the DAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toothy jr Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 UWO is going to tear down the existing clinic this summer or next, and build a new one! So come one, come all! Yeah, a GPA of 3.8+ ought to give you a free pass to any school, except if you threw cream pies at the interviewers... (oh, and the obligatory angry face if you choose another school... >: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kicoati Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 Hi all, Like everyone else, I got my DAT score yesterday. It is not as good as I wish it to be... Reading 17 Bio 21 Chem 24 PAT 21 Carving 19 My GPA is only 3.6-ish. I really want to go to UWO, but I think they want RCN score 19, is that right?. With my GPA also kind of borderline, can someone tell me whether I have any hope with UWO? How about UofT and McGill? Also, is 50th percentile somewhere around 18? I really appreciate your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pearlywhitesBC Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 I think you should be proud of your scores...they look pretty kickass to me!!!! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toothy jr Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 The stats for this year's class was 18 as an average score on reading comprehension... so obviously quite a few people got lower than that. If they didn't let someone with good stats such as yourself to the school I'd be angry... >: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SharkCatcher Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 dude i like your scores. they are better than mine in PAT and carving. i got in 2 years ago. feel good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pearlywhitesBC Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 Arg! I haven't gotten my scores yet! Are the people who got their scores from back east?? I live in Vancouver - maybe they're just taking a bit longer to make their way out here. I was sooooo nervous all afternoon after reading here that the marks were out - but when I got home all I got was a stupid cell phone bill from Telus. What a drag - now I've got all day tomorrow to fret! :eek Has anyone else in Van gotten their scores yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guyver03 Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 Don't worry pearlywhitesBC, I live in Van too and I still haven't receive my scores yet. I'm expecting the scores to come in tomorrow, hopefully it'll be good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kicoati Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 Thanks for all who replied my message. Two more questions for people in UWO... 1) what is the GPA average for last year's entering class? 2) when will they send out invitations for interview/rejection (by e-mail? regular mail?)? I again appreciate all your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest YYCdentboi Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 My DAT scores: READING:19 BIO:18 CHEM: 19 ACADEMIC: 19 PAT: 17 CARVING: 28 I am pleased with my carving score, but I am contemplating whether or not I should rewrite based on the "averageness" of my other scores. Will my carving score outweigh the others? Any suggestions? -Happy with my hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest blingblingdentist Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 YY, wicked carving score. I am only applying to UofT and Western, but now I wish I had applied to McGill too. I just didn't feel like writing that essay and filling out the long application they had. Shark, which other american schoools did you apply to. I figure since you got into an ivy league school (UPENN), you must have gotten into other american schools also. Can you tell me if you went to any other interviews in the States. I am also applying to States this year and if you don't mind can you tell me your DAT and GPA, so I can have a better idea of my chances of acceptance in the States.

Guest SharkCatcher Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 i only applied to one school, upenn and i applied on the last day, jan something. not something smart to do for the states. if u apply to private schools then u increase ur chances in the states. my AA, and SC. average are comparable to urs. but like i said, in both my interviews, dat scores were not out. gpa is nothing to be happy about. i messed up one of my years. its how u present urself in the application.

Guest blingblingdentist Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 Look at the huge drop in DAT scores between 2006 and 2007 at Western. Toothy, what is the reasoning behind this? I was under the impression that DAT scores have been on the up and up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
