You are forgetting that admin committees look at GPA as well. If you have a high GPA then you are afforded the luxury of slacking a little on the DAT. If your GPA is on the low end, your dat scores will have to compensate that by being above avg.
But who knows, maybe an applicant with a low dat and GPA will end up getting in (its not totally unheard of).
Yeah, it is not only unheard of, it happens all the time...getting into dental school is as much as who you know sometimes as what you know...can you somehow meet with or shadow a local dentist that has ties to your state school...or ties to ANY school for all that goes...send the ADCOMS a "pop-up" biography or yourself ..something creative...you can make up for your scored by forcing yourself in front of them and making yourself known...
