I just wonder if there is any limited numbers to try to apply for dental schools like DAT? as you know,,we have only three times to try DAT.

If memory serves me correctly, I don't think there is a set number amount of schools that you can apply to. It all depends on you and your finances. You should at least apply to 5 or 6 and that even depends on your stats.

You can keep applying over and over again, I remember hearing from a guy who applied 6 times and then got in.

My mentor in college - his best friend made it into medical school while I was in college - after his 19th (yes, nineteenth) try! There is no set number of times you can apply to dental schools. If dentistry is something that you are passionate about, then keep on trying. Hopefully, one year a school will see the passion and decide to accept ya

Good luck! I've always heard the same quote repeated by dentists and Adcoms alike, "If you want to get into Dental School badly enough, and you put the work in, you'll get there eventually." The same goes for just about anything in life, keep it up!
