anyone know someone accepted with a 16 dat score 

i guess my AA of 17 isnt as low on the spectrum as i thought
no?
According to PreDents, between 2006-2008, 109 people applied with an AA of 17 or below, 35 were accepted (32% acceptance rate). If you examine race, 27 white or asian people applied with an AA of 17 or below, 6 were accepted to any school (22% acceptance rate).
Contrast this to the total PreDents population between 2006-2007. 2034 people applied and 1256 people were accepted total (62% acceptance rate).
Nice...someone is actually using my search feature! All that work doing that SOB is paying off a little!

As an international student, I've been using your search feature to help gauge not only how hard it is for international students to gain acceptances but also get an idea of which schools give us some consideration. You certainly knew what you were doing when you designed the site! Good job!
dr tooth, i cant open the thread on my mac, but i could on my pc at work today, is that possible😕
predents is awesome, no question about it. but predents does not represent much of the applicant pool as doc tootache's thread does. Please correct me if im wrong, but predents has many members from this website, which scores tend to be much higher than the applicant poolTrue dat doc... but predents also lists ppl's stats

It's very useful to some people like me. That search feature was my best friend in July and August while I was waiting for the first interview. You are the man! 👍
Last year a girl named Kat (cat) was accepted to ASDOH with an AA of 15, there is hope, but not much. A third year student there was accepted with a 16 AA but his father in law is ADCOM.
no?

pdizzle, my scores; pa 21, qr 13, rc 20, bio 16, gc,18, oc 15. gpa 3.4 science gpa 40.
do you think if i bust a-- for the next 6 weeks studing for the dat, take it again in jan. and do better, i may still have a chance? will it be too late to submit new scores to the schools? how do i know the cut-off dates for apps. to be complete.
no i havnt pushed the button on my app. i am scared sh---less, so afraid of rejection. its been ready to go for weeks now. i have till sunday to do it.....im freaking out! im so worried im not gonna do better on the dat this time and it will be the second one. i cant take standardized tests, never could. if i dont get in this year, do i have to pay for app. fees again?
i cant take standardized tests, never could.
wow... thanks! that just motivated ME to heck!Gail, listen to me for a sec. You have to do whatever you have to do to get high scores on "standardized tests" (Don't really know what the hell that means...a test is a test, IMO). If the only way for you to score high is to study while standing on your head with peanut butter between your toes,..then do it!
Some people study 1 hour before the test and get the same grade that someone else studies 5 hrs/day for a week! Get over it. Find out what works for you but more importantly, be confident and determined!
Believe me, I've been around the block (euphemism for an old bastard!). I graduated high school with a 1.7 GPA, failed 10th grade English 3 years in row!!. The highest academic grade I got was a "C" in four years! Through hard work and, more important, determination I eventually got a full academic scholarship to UC Berkeley in Bio-chemistry and am now in my third year of what some would consider the top 5 dental schools in the Nation.
I went to school with a friend of mine and she said she just couldn't get the same grades I did. I said to her that the problem is that she didn't want it bad enough. She replied that wasn't the case. I then said, "What if someone kidnapped her mother and said if you don't get an "A" on your next test, they would kill her". I then asked if she thought she would get an, "A" or not. She replied, "Of course I would,..it's my Mom". I rested my case.
Don't be afraid of tests...get pissed off at them! "They" don't think you can beat them. Study your butt off and kick their $$!!!!!!!!
Good luck...if you take my advice you will be a dentist, or whatever you want to be.
Dizz....out!

Thank you. R u really 38 yrs old??
i know thats y i asked! You seem very young at heart, which is what is most important. Also wondering why you didnt apply right after college, but I guess you very doing other interesting things to you.Chonologically?...Yes, I'm afraid I am rappidly aproaching the, "old bastard" age. But if you ask anyone who knows me, I'm like 16...maybe 17...tops, inside!
