Hi guys. So I just took the DAT this week, and I definitely slacked a bit and only started studying about 2 weeks ahead of time and am a touch worried about my score. I got 17 PAT, 22 reading comprehension, 18 AA(20 bio, 17s on both chemistry sections), and a 16 QR. I graduated with a bachelor of Science in Human Physiology a year ago, ended with a 3.5 overall GPA, and a 3.63 science GPA from Iowa. In my year off I worked at my dads veterinary hospital full time, where I worked about 1 to 2 days a week doing dentals on animals(dental X-ray's, cleaning, polishing, teeth counting, yada yada) which totalled between 4 and 8 hours a week for a year. I had never even considered the field of dentistry until after that experience. I also volunteered about 200 hours in a sports medicine clinic, as well as many other leadership activities throughout my undergraduate career. I don't really care where I get in, but will be starting to send in applications over the next month. Just wondering if you guys think I'd have a good chance of getting in somewhere this application cycle, or whether I should schedule the dat again. If I don't get in this year I'm already planning to retake it next year and actually put a good amount of time in preparing for it. Thanks for any help in advance guys. Sorry for any grammatical errors, posting this from my phone haha.
