Another one of those "should i retake" threads

[SamLebanon]

Hello guys, I'm looking for advice regarding retakes for my DAT score. I prepared very well for my DAT and I'm not embarrassed by any of my scores except one specific section, biology. Here are my scores,

Bio 18
GChem 24
Ochem 23
PAT 23
QR 21
RC 21
TS 21
AA 21

When I took my dat, I had only take introductory biology 1 & 2. I took it at the beginning of my junior year and I learned much more about embryology and evolution much later in my education. I did my best I could on my biology section, but the score is bringing down my confidence. I'm currently applying to Dental school, and in the process of preparing my essays to apply when the cycle opens. My GPA is around a 3.95, and my sGPA is also around a 3.95. I have around 200 volunteer hrs as well as about 200 hrs shadowing and have been employed my entire undergraduate education. What do you guys think?

I wouldn't retake unless you're trying to go to a dental school with an exceptionally high DAT average.

The dental school I am trying to go to has a Dat Average of a 20.8, so essentially a 21. Thank you for the feedback.

I edited my original post, because I made an error on one of my score and forgot to include my AA. Just FYI
