Is my DAT score (concerning PAT) score okay?

[dentalschool_CAD]

Hi all. I would like to know how much my 17 PAT will hurt my chances of getting into dental school. These are the rest of my scores:

GCHEM - 18
OCHEM - 26
BIO -20
QR- 20
RC - 24
TS - 21
AA - 22

My GPA is a 3.52, for reference.

Will I be fine? My AA is pretty good but I feel schools will single me out because of my PAT. Even though most schools I'm applying to don't have a PAT cutoff, I am worried admissions will look down on me when seeing a 17 PAT. Am I overthinking or should I retake?

I think you will be fine.

I got a 17 and it was never a problem

Your AA is good enough that it will probably be overlooked. If you got a 17PAT and a sub 20 AA it would be much more concerning

19 AA 21 TS 21 PAT and 14 QR.
Accepted at 4 dental schools. You will be fine. Good luck!
