What are my chances of getting in without retaking the dat?

Just my opinion of course, but with 3 sections as 16's I would say not all that great. Your GPA is very good but I'm not sure it can overcome more than one section under 17. Some schools have cut-offs for certain sections (like nothing under a 17) so you may want to check into that before applying to the schools or retake the DAT. Good luck!

While your GPA is good, i think that with all those 16's you're below the cut off for many schools. I would retake.

Without retaking? slim to none. 16's are killer, dude.

If you apply to 30 schools: including all the new schools and big private schools, I think a few will bite. However, a retake would greatly enhance your chances. GL.

I think your 10 hours of shadowing and 20 hours of volunteer work is worse than your DAT. Get out and do something.
