You are competing with students throughout the country for a limited number of positions. You may be a good candidate and a wonderful person. Generally speaking, the applicants with the higher GPA and DAT scores are accepted first. If you are above the level of acceptance for a school, then many other factors are taken into consideration. We have had students who have had low DAT scores or low GPA who have been accepted, but these individuals are the exception.

Stay in contact with the schools you are applying to. Be certain that your application is complete.
