I just took my DAT and didn't exactly get the score that I wanted in few sections. I wanted to get your opinions on how these scores?

PAT: 19
QR: 19
RC: 19
Bio: 24
GC: 20
OC: 23
TS: 22
AA: 21

Also, I can't retake my DAT until mid-September. Is that too late to retake the DAT?

I just took my DAT and didn't exactly get the score that I wanted in few sections. I wanted to get your opinions on how these scores are considering my GPA is 3.2 (I go to a UC) and have lots of leadership and dental experience.

Hey Congratulations, those stats may be sufficient depending on where you are applying.

Honestly I think you have a good chance to get in. the more realistic schools would be NYU, BU, Tufts, Temple! if you won't get any interviews it won't because of your DAT but because of your GPA, good luck!

Which UC do you go to?
A 3.2 gpa at UCLA/UC Berkeley and a 3.2 gpa at Davis/Merced is a huge difference.
It would have been great if you got 20+ in every section.
However, your DAT scores are solid, I say you keep this scores for this cycle.
If you don't get in anywhere this cycle, try raising your gpa.
Your gpa is what would have hindered your acceptance and not your DAT. 👍

Nice scores. Those scores are among roughly the top 3-10% of all people the that take the DAT. Mathematically, your chances are pretty good, so go ahead and start practicing for your interviews.
