I just took my DATs not too long ago. My scores were: TS:18 AA:18 Bio:19 GC: 17 OC:18 QR:16 RC:21 PAT:20. My overall GPA is a 3.5 and science GPA is around 3.3. Should I retake the DATs? It will most likely be in the middle of October if I do. What do you guys think? Thanks.

Your sGPA and DAT scores are lower than the average incoming dental students so you should consider retaking the test to make yourself more competitive. If you feel you can improve those scores then by all means retake it!
 
Call schools your interested in. Ask them if they recommend a retake. Your extracurriculars and other things might boost your overall app.

Thank you! I probably will end up retaking. I have to find something that will help with the QR section.
