Is 20 AA considered low score now? I am little bit concerned

[Marspumpkin]

I took my DAT about 2 months ago and got 20 AA (nothing below 19). It seems like everyone is getting at least 22 and above, and I really want to retake my DAT to get +22 like everyone else.. I have 3.849 GPA so I am safe on that part, but the problem is my DAT.. I am applying this cycle. Is 20 AA enough to get an acceptance, or would it hurt my chance now?

With those stats I really wouldn't stress much

I'm pretty sure that a 20 is the national average for students who get accepted into dental school. Looking at scores on SDN does not represent the usual scores as anything above a 22 is still uncommon. They know what they're doing when they make the DAT, we have so many resources at our disposal now compared to 10 years ago and yet the average remains around an 18.
You have an amazing GPA and I'd assume a great science GPA too, a 20 is a good score.
