I was wondering if you can take the DAT for a fourth time? What do you have to do and does it look bad? and please don't be mean, i want to get in dental school. everything else in my application is great but my scores are average :/

You can take the DAT a fourth time but only with permission from ADA. I was reading FAQs on different dental school's site and their answers were "If you have to take the DAT a third or even a fourth time, you may want to reconsider dentistry as your career." :X

Yes you can the details can be found in the DAT user manual pg. 8 (http://www.ada.org/prof/ed/testing/d...ers_manual.pdf)

A good GPA can make up for a so so DAT score.

Definately keep trying if you want to be a Dentist! I don't know how hard it is to get accepted for a fourth DAT from the ADA though...
