    Is research necessary to match into a decent academic program for radiology if my step score is 235?

    Unfortunately I scored much lower than expected. Thought Id atleast hit 240s based on all my practice scores. Do I need research to make up for the lackluster step score? or will doing well in grades and step 2 be enough to match a mid- low tier DR program? By the way I am an MD at a top 50 school

    Do you see your percentiles on your DAT score report?

    Has anyone taken the DAT in 2017 and received their score report? Does it contain raw scores only or percentiles as well? I called ADA and they told me the reports haven't included the percentiles for a while, but I've seen people posting percentiles. What did your report show?
