Hi everyone. I'm currently a junior in college and just took the DAT for the first time in early November. I am slightly hesitant about my scores and I am wondering if I should retake the exam. Here is a breakdown of my scores: AA: 24 Biology: 21 General Chemistry: 24 Organic Chemistry: 20...

I am applying during the 2025-2026 cycle and deciding between taking the DAT either summer 2024 or 2025. Since I am studying biomedical engineering, adding extra courses to my schedule is difficult but possible. I am inclined towards taking the DAT summer 2024 because I don't want to forget...

I am a Minnesota resident and was invited for an interview at Minnesota School of Dentistry via email on 8/10/2023. I interviewed on 9/7 (the first day of interviews), but have not heard back from any of the OOS schools that I applied to yet. Should I be worried? Date of submission: 6/14...

I might not be able to take my exam as scheduled, and I want to reschedule it to the next period of time that I'm free in. This is past the eligibility window. Ada allows me to pay $130 to extend the window by a few months which is enough for me. My question is, will I only have to pay $130? Or...

Good afternoon y'all, I come for some advice. I am taking my DAT this Saturday (8/20/22). I have been studying since the beginning of April, I followed Aris schedule and have been doing a practice exam every other day since last week. I try to replicate the exam setting as close as possible...

My test is on August 3rd and so far I have been studying bio using the pre made bootcamp anki decks. However, I've heard so many good things about the Feralis deck that it has made me consider using those instead. I'm a bio major so I feel like I have a good chance at scoring highly on that...

Hi everyone! After finishing up the DAT this past Monday, I finally have had time to post a breakdown. Since I used so many other breakdowns to develop my study schedule, I wanted to be able to give back a little bit. This period can feel overwhelming, but the time you put in now will truly pay...
