Everything seems great except that darn QR score! Some schools have a designated cutoff score for a particular section (like 17). Check out the dental schools' websites where they usually have a cutoff number listed under their admissions requirements. Unfortunately, I'd have to say you should consider a retake. I know QR is the least meaningful section, but at 15 I think that's just too low to overlook.
Good luck

Ya I agree, there's plenty of time left to hit the books hard for a few weeks, increase by 1-3 points per section and still make first wave. How bad do you want this?

apply to 20 schools and you won't need a retake

You'll get in. But some schools have a DAT 17 minimum and won't take the 15. The ones that don't care will overlook it since everything else is good.
