What's your top school (or schools)? Call them and ask! 😉

The first question you should consider before "Should I retake?" is "Could I do better?" What was your study regiment like? What materials did you use?

I wouldn't bank on where "he and his friend" got accepted because what works for one person doesn't necessarily work for another. There are too many other variables involved. I agree with what others have said. If you feel you can do better, retake.

Let's be honest, three sections with a 17 or less warrants a retake. Ask yourself, did you really try your best?

I wouldn't care that much on where "he and his friend" got accepted because what works for one person doesn't necessarily work for another. they maybe live in Chicago Illinois and the dental school there accept people only from Illinois!! I agree with what others have other said. If you feel you can do better, retake. and three sections with a 17 or less warrants a retake. and at the interview there will ask you why you haven't retake it and you have more than three sections with a 17 or less !!!

eh...like everyone else said, depends on if you think you can do better. One of my future classmates in the fall made an 18AA/18TS, 15 in PAT and a 16 in QR. So, just to tell you that I've seen ppl get accepted with similar scores. This, however, doesn't mean that it will happen for everybody. If you feel that you can improve, I would retake.

Yeah you gotta retake. you just need a 20AA and with a 3.6 GPA that shouldnt be hard to get if you put a little effort into it.

For everyone asking me where my buddy and I were accepted I would rather not say on a public forum, as lame as that sounds. I know another person who had an 18AA with a 3.9 get in this cycle but come on....3.9! Insane! I am being 100% honest though. Also I would like to add that 2 cycles ago my school had people that got accepted come back and explain what they did and 2 out of the 3 people talking had 18AA. I know these forums can be rough on people and say retake retake but getting 20+AA is hard! The people who do it rock and are studs. Good luck!!!
