DAT Scores Question

I took the DAT this morning and scored 20BIO/22GC/20OC/20QR/30RC/18PA (20TS/22AA). I am concerned that my PAT score is too low and will prevent me from receiving interviews/acceptances. I have looked around to try and see if my lower PAT score will hinder me during the application process, but had trouble finding any concrete answers.

Can anyone offer any advice as to whether or not I should consider retaking the entire exam just to improve on the PAT? Thanks.

Congratulations! Very consistent scores, nothing low! With a good GPA, there is no reason you would not receive interview invites. That 30 in reading is phenomenal and will definitely be noticed. If you have a certain school in mind you can review their requirements or better would be to call them directly.

Good luck and congrats again.

I wouldn't be concerned with an 18 on the PAT. The 30 on RC is very impressive! I'll include the link to a spreadsheet with all of the dental school statistics as of 2017 so that you can see where your scores fit in - Dental School Statistics ( all credit to @Cluubias2 )
