is there a change in getting into dental school with 4th time DAT?
has anyone pull it off?
I am interested in texas schools and few outofstate schools..
any thoughts?
I hate to tell you this, but taking it over 3 times and scoring well is probably going to be more detrimental than say scoring well on the 1st time, however, if you ace it the 4th time of course that is better than taking it 3 times and scoring poorly.
Don't know anyone that has pulled this off, but since you are retaking it so many times, you definitely need to change the way you study for it.
Best prep materials IMO:
PAT-Crack Dat PAT hands down, all you need
Sciences-DAT Destroyer, CHad's videos and ochem and a 2nd language (I and II), Cliffs AP bio
QR-MATH destroyer
RC-Crack Dat Reading
Practice Tests-Topscore, Achiever, ADA sample tests
I reviewed most of the above in my blog.

Best wishes buddy. I can only imagine how stressful all the retakes must be.
If you plan on applying this cycle, I'd suggest studying until you are happy with your scores on your practice tests. Don't take it early than get a unsatisfactory score. Better to push it back a week or 2 until your prepared so you can kill it!
