AA 20

PAT 18 <----?

oGPA 3.88 (going to be a junior)

Just got done with my DAT today, and i'm pretty happy with my scores.


However, i just want to make sure that the 18 PAT isn't going to hurt my application much/ isn't worth a retake.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I would greatly appreciate some advice!

Your scores a good enough to do the job. Don't worry about it.

Not worth a retake... You did good. Just keep up the gpa and work on some ec activities 👍

I had a lower GPA, 20 AA, 19 TS and a 16 PAT and got in... moral of this story... get your app in early (I even submitted my app really late) and you have NOTHING to worry about!

Dont worry about it! I got a 20/20/17 on the DAT and I already have an interview at Midwestern AZ 🙂

I have heard many times that dental schools don't care about the PAT as much as the other sections (as long as it is in reasonable range). I think the emphasis on the PAT is perpetrated by pre-dents...?
