Hello everyone! Nice to be in the dental forums for once (I'm in the pre-med forums and that place is full of stressed out people). My girlfriend doesn't have an account on this site so I'm posting this from mine.
We're both Texas residents and she got a 21 on her DAT, which is an amazing score. However, she has a 3.32 cGPA which may have hurt her last cycle. She's thinking about retaking it and is aiming for a 22-23. Do you think this will help her?
I noticed that a 21 is 93rd percentile. I'm sure the DAT is similar to the MCAT - the difference between a 21 and a 23 can be 2 questions. This worries me because if she ends up getting a lower score than a 21, it will hurt her chances greatly.
What do you guys recommend?
