Is it just me or does it seem like anyone under 20 on the DAT is in for a struggle? I just get the feelin that like 20 is the new "it" score for admission to dental school and that you are s.o.l if you come in under. sure you might get an interview, but what are the odds of getting in with like an 18 these days?? seems like a pain...or is it just me?

There is hope and I am the example. I didn't get 20 on the DAT. I got 6 interviews. I know that it seems like everyone gets a 20 and above, but you need to understand that SDN is not the real picture. I had in all my interviews so far people with similar stats to mien (less than 20). My inteviews went very well. I am sure that you and many other like "us" would get in. Think positive 🙂))))))
