breakdown from a very late applicant + advice
3.65 gpa, 3.66 sgpa, 21 DAT, strong activities/statement, decent LORs
applied very late (mid oct) which is why i applied to a lot of schools
moral of the story: listen when they tell you that applying late matters, bc it really impacted my chances. get your LORs early! I had two profs ghost me, which delayed my app by a lot. also STAY OFF of reddit, it honestly just added so much negativity into this journey and very rarely actually helped lol. make your own path, schools like to see you doing something different.
at the end of the day it all worked out and im gonna be a dentist! good luck to all people getting ready to apply!
