I am a Canadian citizen and I wrote the Canadian DAT.

GPA 3.76
Canadian DAT:
RC 16
TS 23
AA 21
PAT 22

80hr volunteering/shadowing dentist
1000+ volunteer (non dental)
1 year Coop/Work experience

Which schools should I apply to? I am really concerned about my RC. Are there schools that put less emphasis on DAT or are there schools that only look at AA and PAT and TS?

I don't think any school only look at certain scores, they look at all your scores. I have heard that RC scores are pretty important but all your other scores look great! Only problem is being a Canadian applicant kind of makes it even harder. If I were you I would call the schools you are interested in and ask them what they would suggest.

Thanks for your input. Which schools do you think I should consider calling?

So far I am looking into NYU, U of Pacific, Case Western, USC. What are others?

Apply to Roseman. Im pretty sure they don't really look at RC or QR. They say you need minimum of 17 on each section but they are lenient about that, especially since the rest of your scores and GPA are pretty solid. We have a few Canadian students in each of our classes
