I just wrote DAT today and here's my scores:
PA 26
QR 21
RC 18
Bio 19
GC 23
OC 21
TS 21
AA 20

I graduated last year and my GPA is really low.. I think it is 3.0 for both ogpa and sgpa. I am planning to take two bio classes to raise my GPA.

Extracurricular is moderate
Volunteer is moderate
Shadow is 200+ hr

Is it possible to get into any schools with my scores and gpa? What schools would you recommend for the best possibility to get in? Do you recommend retaking DAT?

formal/informal post-bacc or SMP are your options to raise your GPA

I don't think you need to retake the dat. However you gpa is really low. I'd say do special masters program to boost your gpa and to show that you can handle it and get good grades. No one can tell you that you have better chance at x school than y. So apply broadly and early.

Some schools have pretty low avg GPAs for their classes (like Meharry, Howard, and Western to name a few), but your GPA is below theirs. I personally think one shouldn't apply to any school that their own GPA doesn't match or exceed. You'd do best pursuing a masters and showing a big improvement in your GPA. It's better than to apply next cycle and risk not getting in and wasting all the app money!
