I took my DAT today and did okay on every section except for the QR! My scores:
PAT:18
QR: 14 😱
RC: 22
BIO: 18
GC: 21
OC: 20
TS: 19
AA: 19
My sGPA is 3.2 and oGPA 3.0. I did good on the sections that I was worried about but fell short with math. Let me know what you guys think 🙂

If you apply to every possible school I bet you could get in somewhere. If you want to go to one of a few specific schools, I would retake since your GPA is low.

Expect to explain why you scored so low on the QR during interviews if you stick with your scores. I have a similarly low QR and it has come up during the interview process. Honestly, I would plan on retaking though. If you nail that QR down, you could easily get a 20 or 21 AA! And retaking the DAT shows commitment to dentistry which adcoms like. I know thats probably not something you want to think about after just taking the DAT, but you're going to want to have an above average AA with your GPA.

I would retake only because you have just average DAT scores and a not so good gpa. The QR isn't something dental schools take heavy weight on so idk if a 14 will count against you. If not apply super early and have awesome recs!

Looking at your GPA ,I would suggest retaking DAT. Schools will look at your whole application meaning DAT/GPA/LOR/SHADOWING & VOLUNTEERING/PERSONAL STATEMENT.... so try to focus on every aspect of your application and remember as others said " APPLY EARLY" !
