I have taken the DAT three times, but on all of them, I ruined the Reading comprehension section. English is my second language. I was reading 4 or 5 articles a day from Scientific American/National Geographic before exam for almost 4 months, but I couldn't over come the RC part. On my 3rd DAT I had the same exact reading passage as I had on my second DAT which was the longest/hardest passages of three on both DAT. That could happen only 1 in 10000000000, but it happens and got me two times. BE CAREFUL!!!!!

DAT 1st time: PAT: 19 QR:18 RC:15 Bio:19 Gchem:19 Ochem:22 TS:20 AA: 19 (2015)

DAT 2nd time: PAT: 20 QR:19 RC:15 Bio:20 Gchem:22 Ochem:23 TS:21 AA: 20 (2016)

DAT 3rd time: PAT: 21 QR:19 RC:16 Bio: 22 Gchem:25 Ochem:26 TS:24 AA:22 (2018)


GPA: 3.22

Science GPA: 3.10

Shadowing ~ 250 Hours
Community service~200 Hours

Do I have any chance to get an interview for this cycle?

If your application shows one thing, its commitment to dentistry for sure! Your GPA is low, but your TS and AA are still great on the DAT. I don't know how admissions offices look at RC scores if English is your second language, but it makes sense to me that they would be more understanding! Make sure you have a great personal statement which explains your journey.

You get 3 places on your application to show your communication skills. RC, your ps, and your interview. Make sure you have the other components down pat.
