Does anyone know if Podiatry Schools still take the DAT score? If yes, then which one.
I really need some help. Please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

NYCPM (website says to ask them first)
Temple( Unsure, it says they awarded scholarships based on GRE, MCAT, DAT, but I'm not sure if this is for all of their professional schools or just Podiatry)
All others require an MCAT score. Is there a particular reason why you aren't going to take the MCAT?
I think you should go to Dental school... Try again next year.
NYCPM and Temple take DAT scores. Temple will also offer a scholarship if your score is exceptional.
This question has been answered many times. Please do a search before asking common questions.
Also, OP does not need anyone's opinion on which type of school to go to. He or she only needed to know which schools take the DAT score.
/thread.
By the rushed nature of the OP's statement it seemed like they did. Just because it seems like podiatry is easier to get into doesn't mean you should instantly choose it as a fall back because you don't want to take a year off. That is bad for the profession. If they hadn't thought enough to use the search function you can be sure they haven't thought this decision through at all.
Why do podiatric medical schools accept DENTAL school admission tests? If we are to earn parity, then the MCAT only must be accepted with competitive scores. The fact that two podiatric medical schools still accept the dental test is embarassing and speaks volumes about the lack of competition in podiatric medical schools.
If you want to be a dentist, or other dental speciality, take the DAT.
If you want to be a general podiatrist, or foot and ankle surgeon, take the MCAT.
I know it's not a feasible proposition, but I wonder what would happen if pod schools had their own test... Think applicants would half? Less? Interesting though I guess.
Also, in terms of these threads staying on topic, I think voicing concerns over someone hastily applying to pod school because of not getting into dental school is on topic. If it is WAY off topic I suppose I could start another thread singling the OP out and then explain it to him/her though if that is better...
You would not need to single the OP out. As mentioned earlier, almost every thread goes back to this same topic regardless of who starts the thread. The OP did not mention needing advice as to which type of school to choose. If people want to discuss which tests schools should accept, which type of schools to apply to, etc., start another thread on that topic. This thread's question has already been answered.
Thank you everyone for the advice and help.
I'm sorry I didn't mean to start a big argument for no reason.
Thanks anyways.
