Hey guys. I wrote the cDAT in Nov 2017 and got the scores this morning.

RC-18
BIO - 23
Chem - 23
PAT - 18
AA - 21

Disappointed in PAT, was hoping for a 20. RC is my weakest section so I am happy that I got over 17. *Also, does anyone know where to see the percentiles?

I have a ~3.4 gpa and A LOT of research experience. I even worked for a year at a big biotech company. What are my chances of getting into a Canadian dental school? How about American schools? I can graduate any time soon and get my BSc but I am thinking of options to make myself more competitive if I do not get into dental school right away. Do I take extra classes to boost my gpa or should I start a Master's in 2018? I would rather do a Master's and save the money for it instead of taking random classes as a 5th/6th year student.

Feedback is very much appreciated!
