Just got finished with the DAT, and oh my god I'm so glad it's over. Anyway, I wanted to ask about my scores. I'm pretty happy with them, considering the fact I thought I had bombed it and was going to have to retake! I wish I would of done a little better, because there are so many people on here that post stellar scores (and I studied for 3 months). I know most of these people don't represent the majority of applicants that apply, but it still kind of makes you second guess your scores.

Anyways, I scored a 21/20/20 (PAT/TS/AA) and I have a 4.0 GPA with good EC's (i think). I shouldn't have a problem getting interviews right? I'm really not trolling, i promise..i just see people with like 25AA's and compared to my 20 it looks so sad 😕 and its kind of messing with my head.

Thanks guys!!

You have very similar DAT scores to me from what I can see. My GPA was much lower. I got into NYU.. so no, I don't think you'll have any issues. 🙂

Thanks so much. This is very encouraging to hear!
 
Your 4.0 will get you into plenty of schools with that DAT.
 
Great GPA and good DAT. From looking at past acceptances and their DAT scores, 20-21 seems to be the average of the people getting in. I am in a similar situation wondering if that "average" will be good enough to get in. I feel that scores of applications are getting higher than before.
 
friend of mine had 4.0 gpa and 21 AA
he was a psych major international student
and was interviewed at Harvard

dont know if he got in, but commonnnnn u r more than fine
 
you're good to go man. Congratulations. Did you post a breakdown on the DAT side?

Anyway, your scores are fine.
 
Long-time-no-see. BTW, you're golden 🙂

Going off of LSU's past scores, you should be golden for an interview. Just ace that chalk carving and you're set 👍
 
Thanks so much guys! I feel a lot better. It's just a little discouraging seeing such high scores on here, even though 20 is average for accepted students. Makes you feel like your 20 isn't good enough 😛

And BERENO!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my gosh I didn't even know you were still on here!! How is dental school going?!?!

Lol, 20 is above the average for the accepted student still. Pair that with your stellar GPA and you have a great shot 🙂

School is tough, but good - I have an exam tomorrow and should be studying for it, but I am so checked out after this year, I'm here online instead haha. Hope all is well with you!
