DAT scores:

PA 19 (62.7) Way more difficult than topscore and kaplan tests. 🙁
QR 16 (49.9) Wow. 🙁
RC 21 (77.1)
Bio 20 (86.5) Suprisingly better than I expected 🙂
GC 17 (43.5) Felt like I nailed this section. So weird. 🙁
OC 20 (76.2)
TS 19 (72.7)
AA 19 (72.0)

Cum GPA- 3.53
Science GPA- 3.47

These aren't the scores I had hoped for and expected but hopefully they will still be good enough to get me in. How do you sdner's feel about my chances for acceptance into a mediocre dental school? By mediocre, i mean not columbia, unc, harvard, etc... My primary school of choice is UAB.

i think your stats look fine. 19/19/19 with a 3.47 science. im sure youll get some interviews/acceptances. 17 gc is the only thing that looks a bit off but i dont think itll hinder you. 👍

You'll be fine. Just don't apply to Harvard, Columbia, Penn, or UoP and you'll be good. Good job and congrats on finishing!

Yeah the GC score is disappointing but oh well. Thank you both for your replies and for the congrats. I like to receive these words of confidence from my fellow SDNers. 🙂

if you are an AL resident then you have a good shot at UAB. Your academic avg is probably average for their entering class and your gpa is about average for them too. Like I said if you are an AL resident you will have a lot better chance.
