I have a question about DAT score. If you take the DAT more than one time, do the schools pick the best score that you have or they average all three score?

They most likely look at the most recent score and how much you improved (or didn't) from the previous test(s).

Top Ten Thigs I Was Asked During My Dental School Interview:

10. What's the difference between a DDS and a DMD?
9. Do you roll tight whips?
8. What do you think of the hygiene students? Hot, right?
7. Has anyone ever told you that you look like Brad Pitt?
6. Can I bum a cigarette?
5. How do you think Katie Couric is doing for CBS news?
4. Have you considered getting your student loans from my cousin, Frankie three-fingers?
3. Didn't I see you on "COPS"?
2. What's that stuck in your teeth?
1. Did you steal that suit from a pimp?

I took the DAT for the second time this year and I'm actually a second time applicant. make sure if you're retaking the DAT, you are well prepared for it; you don't want to go down on the scores you had before. Generally studing for the second time is easier because you remember a lot of things from the first time, but remember to practice all the sections.
I was asked in my interview why I think is the reason for me not getting accepted the first time, and I said what I thought. They also argued my low scores in one section of the DAT (RCT) and I had a reason for that too. If you're wondering about your interview, just go through your application and put yourself in a place of somebody who is trying to get to know you. Make sure you have explanations (always positive) for irregular things in your applications (ie: bad grades).
hope this helps
