About a year ago a few SDN pundits predicted that the DAT scores for 2007 entering class were going to be approaching 22 while the GPA's would rival those of medical school enrollees. Reviewing the stats recently released in the 2008 ADEA Official Guide to Dental Schools reveals that all the hype was for naught. Dutifully, the visible sky is still in the same position as it has been for millenia. The result is not unexpected in spite of the modest increase in the number of applicants.
