Chances of acceptance if you took the DAT at the end of August

[futuredentistboii]

Hi guys. I wanted to post on here to ask if anybody had been accepted to dental school having taken the DAT in late August? I submitted my application prior to taking my DAT, but I took the exam on August 30th and I am worried that that is too late to be accepted anywhere. My stats are: GPA--3.78 sGPA: 3.75 DAT: 20AA, 20 PAT. I know these stats are not that good so that is why I'm worried that I won't have a chance on acceptance anywhere. Any advice, info would be greatly appreciated!!!

You will be just fine. I retook my DAT in October and still got in pre-December.

Make sure all parts of your application is in by now.

Also, a 3.7 ish GPA with a 20 DAT is not bad. You will be just fine.

Did you take it early October or late? Taking post-bacc courses at the moment while studying for my re-take (17AA). Being in school made it hard to fully focus on the DAT so had to push my date from September. I'm a Texas resident and my apps were turned in July and August for OOS.
