Where I Stand: > earned B.A. in history from UCLA; 3.17 sGPA, 3.5 oGPA; slight upward trend > 2 waitlists (USC, UDM); 2 rejections (Loma Linda, Midwestern-AZ); 8 still under review > pessimistic; will start preparing for upcoming cycle > have already taken a bunch of recommended classes...

I was accepted to Midwestern University AZ, which although I am happy about, I also am not happy with their >$110,000 COA per year. That is an INSANE tuition amount and id easily be in $500,000 in debt coming out of school. That being said, should I try to retake the DAT and maybe hope for a...

Hey Everyone, so I made a thread about this months ago, but since college is almost here I wanted an updated opinion. So long story short I am a highschool student, last semester left :D .... I am very interested in dentistry, I love the fact you can own your own businesses and also help others...

Hi all! I think it would be helpful to have everything* that is useful in this forum put together in one easily accessible thread for everyone to use. I'll also be adding links to products so people know what sorts of materials are helpful for the DAT. Signing up to take the DAT: 1. Read these...

I'm a Canadian student who is applying to American dental schools. I wrote the Canadian DAT, which is written on paper, and the CDA manually sends out our official score reports to each university we apply to. AADSAS does not verify our test scores, so beside the standardized test section, it...

Retake #2: AA: 19 TS: 18

Now that december 3d is coming in hot, I am doubting myself especially with my DAT scores. My oGPA is a 3.64 and my sGPA is 3.5. DAT: 20AA, 22 OC, 19 Bio, 17 GC (this is where it hurts), 22 RC, 19 QR and 20 PAT. 160 shadowing hours, 100+ community service, dental service abroad, lots of...

Has anyone studied for the DAT in a month? I'm thinking about taking mine in the beginning of February but I won't have much time to study before my winter break. However once I start studying, I can dedicate 12 hours daily since I'm going to quit work to focus on studying.

Okay so im kinda pissed. About 3 weeks ago I spend 5-6 hours on a full-length practice test and the score did not get saved!!!!! I was pissed and some of my friends were having the same issue. I tried it again on random tests and it wasn't saving the scores. I stopped using bootcamp to use...

Hi guys! I cant seem to wrap my head around: Angle ranking Pattern Folding TFE I took 2 tests and my timing was perfect, but I simply am hit or miss with angle ranking, I'll either get 12-13/15 or 6/15 and lately its been on the lower end of the spectrum. For TFE, my hardest thing to...

Any thoughts on this? My dentist works for the ADA and he told me that during certain parts of the year the DAT is easier. Anybody know if this is true?

Hello, I took the DAT in September and received the following scores on my unofficial score report: Bio:22 Chem:28 Orgo:25 QR:23 RC:22 PAT:18 AA:24 TS:25 However, I logged into the online ADA website to just check and see if my "official" report had been posted. It was listed as: Academic...

** Sorry if this has already been posted. Only found one post on it and it was not helpful ** Simple Question: Will common names be used / be expected on the Ochem section of the DAT? Im fine with IUPAC but hate common names with a passion. Like, will at any point they give us a common name and...

Hey Guys... I need some honest opinion here. I am going to apply in the next cycle in June 2019. I have a Canadian transfer (2 years) of 2.6 GPA 58 credits) and I am in a Washington University for 3 years (with 3.97 GPA with 89 credits). (I'm a WA resident) The average two GPA: 3.5 +/- a little...

This was the second-to-last day to withdraw from courses at my university, and I have been struggling with Orgo 2 (Surprise surprise) so I decided to pull the trigger and withdraw, deciding that I can always take it in the spring with the other professor that teachers it; however, I would feel...

Does anyone know of any free DAT resources available? I had to postpone my DAT because of a family emergency and will likely have to write it in December. My Bootcamp subscription just expired and I don't want to spend more money since my family doesnt have much left. If anyone knows that would...

I recently completed DAT Bootcamp and did not feel ready so I pushed my test date back and took a month off of studying to gather myself and spend time with loved ones. I am trying to decide if I should go through Ari's 10-week Study guide again or do a 6-week kaplan live online course. Has...

21AA/ 23TS/ 23OC/ 24GC/ 22Bio/ 20RC/ 16QR/ 20PAT I have a pretty low cGPA and sGPA (both around 2.8-2.9), but I have a pretty strong resume when it comes to my extracurriculars (e.g. VP of Pre-Dental Society, two brigade trips abroad (was on exec board for one of them), various community...

Any chance my RC score is holding me back from programs like Loma Linda? I thought I could study more efficiently and crush the DAT the second time to make up for my subpar GPA. Who knows, I might score 22+ this time. Thoughts? I'd probably take it early December. Submitted: Early July...

Hello guys, During the two weeks before DAT, would it be better to review my wrong questions or Bootcamp modified Feralis Note for Science? Both are lengthy, and I am not sure if it would be better to look both back and forth. can anyone give me any feedbacks ? Thank you!

I was wondering if you think I should retake my DAT and try to score higher? I took my test the first week of July and started submitting my apps immediately. Almost all my schools were sent out by the first week of August. I have one interview so far, so naturally I am getting antsy and...

I took the DAT for a second time this week and got a 20 AA. My first dat, I got a 17aa on the dat and three 16. The 16s turned into 20, 18,17. I also had 6 points improvement with my reading score and 2 points for the math/PAT. I applied to a whopping 30 schools, and everything else is ready...

Hi guys, I took my DAT this past Friday (09/14/2018) I received my scores and I am needing advice. AA-18 PAT-20 QR-19 RC-21 TS-17 GPA:3.5

Hi guys! SO i literally just signed up to write the canadian DAT for the november! I actually just wrote the PCAT in July. And I am kinda clueless on where to start. I have a month and couple weeks. I believe my chemistry and biology is strong considering i was just studying for PCAT recently...

Hi All, I wanted to know if there is any school that would accept my dat scores, I tried to lookup them up, however, dental schools usually post their avg. dat score. any help would be appreciated! QR 15 RC 15 OC 18 Bio 19 GC 19 PAT 20 AA 17 GPA 3.79

Hey guys so I recently took the DAT and here are my stats Bio-19 GC-23 OC-25 PAT-16 RC-22 QR-19 TS-21 AA-22 I am worried about my low PAT as it’s below the cutoff for many schools. Do you think my relatively good AA will offset that? I am also currently a junior with a 3.88 GPA and 3.82sGPA...

I've been looking for a while now for students in the Halifax area who are studying for the DAT as well to form some sort of a study group. I find I can cover more content and I stay more on track when I work with others. I have a couple of resources including the DAT destroyer to use and if you...

Hello all, I know that there are some older threads on this, but I was just curious about the DAT ranges by GPA? I have a 21 AA/22 PAT and roughly a 3.9 GPA. Is a 21 too low for my GPA? I have a friend who scored higher on the DAT, but they have a slightly lower GPA. Thanks!

Hello all! Just got out of the DAT, and I’m really happy with my scores! PAT: 22 QR: 18 (kinda disappointed with this one) RC: 20 (surprised by this one) BIO: 20 CHEM: 22 OCHEM: 23 TS: 21 AA: 21 Some more background on me, I’m a junior biochemistry and molecular biology major and I...

I was looking online and it wont let me see what dates are available without paying. I wanted to see when the tests were available before I paid, is anyone aware of a website that allows for this?

I'm wondering if it is necessary to retake the DAT. I know my scores are good but I also know my scores aren't exceptional. I'm a rising junior and my GPA is a 3.63 and my sGPA is something around a 3.6. By the time I apply next year, I will have the necessary research, volunteering, and...

So I just took my DAT a few days ago and wanted to post something because when I was studying I didn't see many posts that struggled with the things I did (aka QR, Gen. Chem, and RC mostly) so I thought this might help those who feel less confident about the DAT leading up to it. So for study...

Hey all, So I'm taking my DAT this Friday, and I have gone through Destroyer about 7 or 8 times (I know it like the back of my hand). I have been just using random online resources, some of which @orgoman22 shared with me (thank you very much!). I have the DAT Mastery App on my phone and also...

alright so Ive been studying for the DAT for a couple months now and used DAT Bootcamp for review since its been well over 4 years since I took chemistry and 3 since I taken orgo. My question is how should you approach destroyer chem / orgo questions. I know everyone is different, but im...

The breakdowns on SDN were super helpful in guiding my own studying, so I figured I would contribute one as well to help out those who are taking the DAT in the future. Just took the DAT today, very excited with my results. Here are my specific scores: PAT: 23 QR: 22 RC: 28 Bio: 26 GC: 30...

My gpa currently is overall 3.63, sGPA: 3.64. (PS: I am also only an upcoming junior in undergrad currently and hopefully will be able to pull my GPA to about a 3.7 before I apply next year) DAT scores from today: - PAT: 20 - QR: 16 - RC: 26 - Bio: 24 -...
