If you are trying to get into Podiatry school with a DAT score the only place that will accept it is Temple.
But if you want to confirm you might want to check each Podiatric medical school's website...but im pretty sure Temple is the only school that accepts it now.

I would personally call every school to find out what their policy is for DAT scores. I'm a first year student at Temple who got in with a DAT score. I was accepted at 2 other schools last year and was waitlisted at another. but it could be different this year. Good luck.
Hey, I'm curious what is considered a competitive DAT score for podiatry school. What is average for matriculating students?

It appears Temple and Barry are the only podiatric medical schools that accept DAT...so those are the only two schools you could get into for podiatry.
at a recent APMA/pod school meeting it was said that only 3 schools have a firm DAT policy. This came from a VERY knowledgable source. While some schools may not explicitly advertise that they accept DAT, some will accept it.
doesnt nycpm also accept dats?

According to their website":
All candidates must have taken the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) during the year that they are applying or within the prior three years, and have achieved competitive scores. The Dental Admissions Test (DAT) may be accepted in select cases. Please consult with the Office of Admissions prior to applying with DAT scores.

Last year was supposed to be NYCPM's last year for DATs. For some reason, they are still taking it this year. I wouldn't bank on them taking the DAT for the 2010/2011 cycle.

I also applied to NYCPM, Temple, and Barry with only my DAT scores. I received interview invites from NYCPM and Temple within 4 days of having my gpa verified. Still haven't heard from Barry.

If you want to go to podiatric "medical" school, you have the option of taking the DAT, MCAT, or GRE.
Sadly enough, Temple still accepts GRE.
