I cannot answer that question. I will assume you are desiring to attend UDM perhaps? If this is the case go to predents.com and look at the acceptances stats from the last couple of years for both schools and you will see that there are a wide range of scores both for GPA and DAT. Your Gpa and Dat are obviously important but both schools also are looking at you as a person what your motivations for Dentistry are and what type of a dental education you will be best suited for. For instance UDM focuses on educating their students to be general clinicians and therefore their emphasis on research is not as heavy as say UM. They also require shadowing a general dentist and having LOR for the experience from the general dentist. Each school has a different personality and philosophy and it is my opinion that these weigh heavy into Adcom's decisions. I went to an open house for UDM and listened to the Assistant Dean of Admissions speak and she explained some of the qualities that they look for in a strong candidate. This gave me keen insight as to how they go about considering acceptances. Hopefully I am not telling you something you already know. But there were some low DAT's and GPA's that were accepted on predents.com and that serves as an example of how scores are important, but so is the character and life experiences of the applicant.
