Is there a DAT and GPA stats grid?

[ToothJockey]

There is one for MCAT and GPA for Med Schools https://www.aamc.org/download/321508/data/factstablea23.pdf
I was wondering if there is one for dental schools also. I can't find it anywhere.

Thanks

Not as crazy amazing as the table you posted, but this is what I could find:

This is data from the 2018 entering class, aka C/O 2022.
There's also this excel spreadsheet that you can download, and it has tons more data for the 2018 entering class (beware, it's a HUGE file).

Thank you for the data. It's very helpful and much appreciated.

I'm a bit surprised that only about 20% of applicants have above a 3.75 GPA, I was expecting that number to be much higher. SDN makes it seem that if you have a 4.0 and 22 AA, almost every other applicant also has a 3.9+ GPA and 21+ AA and you need to do something crazy to make yourself stand out. But looking at this distribution, the reality is that less than 10% of applicants probably have both a 3.9+ and a 21+ AA combined, and your academics will do enough to make you stand out.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that the people that really need to do something unique to stand out are the people with average GPA's around 3.6 and average DAT around 20, since they will be competing against a much larger pool of applicants, especially since it is a holistic process.

1) The people who post on SDN are usually the ones who have higher stats to brag/boast about. There are applicants who haven't even heard of SDN
2) Everyone needs to do something to stand out, not just the 4.0 22AA people, it's not just about being book smart man, you'll understand that later.
