I took the DAT yesterday!

So I took the DAT yesterday and I feel like I could have done so much better especially in the QR section (17). I spent WAY too much time on certain problems and totally blew my chance at getting a good score. I ended up guessing on so many due to time. My scores were:

AA 21
RC 23
OC 22
GC 22
BIO 19
QR 17
PAT 20

So will my 17 in QR hold me back? Is that below any cut offs a dental school might have? My overall gpa is a 3.93 and my science gpa is slightly higher. 200+ shadowing and lots of volunteer work.

I also got 21AA with 23TS and 15QR and 17RC and a GPA lower than yours, contacted the dental school adviser of the school I wanna attend and he congratulated me and told me that one outlier score (QR) won't hurt my application. The other outlier score (RC) is partially attributed to the fact that English isn't my first language.

You are totally fine. GREAT JOB!

You're fine. I had a 16 in the QR and had 7 interviews.

Congratulations! I would not worry about your QR score for a second with your GPA and high reading and science scores you will receive a lot of interviews.

Excellent job and happy to these scores, you have been on SDN for a while.

Wishing you the best..
