SO, long-time lurker, first-time poster (haha, that sounds so lame...). Anyway, here was my deal: last year, as a junior, I was accepted into the early assurance program at Buffalo. But it was kind of a downer, because I still had to take the DAT and get a 20 AA / 18 PAT (so, I was "in" the program, but not really). I took the DAT for a third time today. My first DAT scores were 18 AA / 18 PAT. My second DAT scores were 19 AA / 20 PAT. And today..........drum roll please............
21 AA / 20 PAT
19 BIO
18 GC
26 OC
15 QR
25 RC
20 PAT
20 TS
21 AA
So I did it! I'm officially the newest (first?) member of UB School of Dental Medicine '13. Yeah, I know, the scores are hella scattered and RC and OC saved me, but hey, that's how the cookie crumbled. I actually did worse in BIO, GC, and QR than my second test. I'd be concerned if applying normally, but I just needed a 20 AA for the early assurance program, so I'll take the points wherever I can get 'em.
The breakdown follows below, but just know that persistence pays off! It may take three tries, but if you put the time in, you WILL do well on this test. Just keep studying! They give you three shots for a reason!
