Hey all! This forum seems to be a wealth of knowledge on these things, so I thought I'd ask. I am a post-bac RDH (5 yrs work exp) and recently took the DAT and got the following scores:
PAT: 22
RC: 25
QR: 19
BIO: 17
GC: 19
OC: 23
TS: 19
AA: 21
My low bio score bothers me, however, if it's not going to completely kill my chances for DDS admissions I would obviously rather not retake the exam. Most of the schools I applied to don't mind a 17 in one area, but Loma Linda "highly recommends" at least a 19. Thoughts on my chances? Thanks!
I have a 3.7 science/3.78 total GPA, 300ish volunteer hrs outside of work and about 250 hrs research experience.
