Hi,

Does any Podiatry school accept DAT scores instead of MCAT?

Best if you take the MCAT.

I believe that you would only be limited to Temple and even there I think they would take the MCAT applicant more likely.
I don't know why a podiatry school would want a student who evidently shows that podiatry is a backup plan with their top plan being dental school

The only good thing about the DAT is that you can normally complete it with just Gen 1/Gen 2/Ochem1/Bio1/Bio2... so if you just want to go to Temple, then yeah.
If you want any other school then, nope.
