I just took my DAT after 3-4 mont

Sure it is late, but My scores do not seem so bad compared to the averages accumulated from the SDN. I know SDN doesn't account for the realm of dental applicants, but I can't imagine a 17 GC having such a significant impact on my total DAT, right? Doesn't seem logical from an Admission's perspective. Anyways, I do feel confident about the rest of my app, so i'll just go about it anywaysits pretty late in the cycle but i think you'll score one or two interviews from private dental schools. Definitely retake before next cycle, 17 GC is very bad.
I just took my DAT after 3-4 months of studying consistently. Kind of bummed about my scores knowing I could have done way better. I knew my general chemistry would be my weakest point, but I definitely thought i'd score above a 17. I have 3.5 GPA and a 3.42 sGPA. Does my score in Organic balance out my Gen Chem? Wondering what my chances are of getting an interview from Universities. Can I still be considered competitive in any way?
Any advice or feedback would be appreciated

Your scores are very consistent and dental schools do like that. You didn't go below cutoffs for the vast majority of dental schools. A lot depends on where you are applying but you definitely have an opportunity for interviews. You stated you knew you could have done better, what do you think affected your scores and how could you have scored higher?
Make sure you have a strong personal statement, this is often overlooked and can often open doors to an interview.
Wishing you the best..
