3.3 gpa/20DAT is their average but I didn't really see anyone who got accepted with those stats.. or is it only the high stat people who are commenting under acceptance thread?

The people who comment are not necessarily a representative sample of everybody who has ever been accepted. So if you have those stats and put together an otherwise good application, you have a shot.

Did you have any section at or below 17 on your DAT? Were you a traditional applicant?

I did not have any section below 17. I was not a traditional applicant. Be mindful that not everything is based on your stats. They base it on your school prestige, personal statement, significant extracurricular activities, and shadowing as well.

What do you mean by school prestige? Do they take into account of if you went to a better undergrad university vs one where the curriculum may not be as intense?

Just remember that schools care about stuff other than GPA and DAT (volunteering, extracurriculars, work, shadowing, and essays) as well

They look at academic rigor.
