Hello, I am trying to get some honest feedback on this, if I should retake the test or not. and I got a really weird thing happened...

So, here is my score breakdown.

PAT 22

Bio 20
GC 20
Orgo 20
RC 20
QR 20
TS 20
AA 20.

I got all 20s (WTF) on Academic sections and 22 on PAT.
I have never seen scores lined up like this before! I am worried for a bit if my RC is lower for competitive schools.

My major is dual combined mathematics and biology with chemistry minor.
GPA is 3.66 and science GPA is 3.62

Should I retake? do I have what it takes to get into at least one dental school?

No retake needed. Solid GPA and with all scores >20. As long as you have some shadowing and volunteer experience you should have a good shot at getting in.

Congratulations! Very nice scores and VERY consistent🙂 Dental schools like scores like these and especially combined with your 3.62 science GPA.

I have seen scores like yours before where I student has scored all 20's, it's rare but does happen..

You absolutely have have what it takes to get into quite a few dental schools, I would NOT retake.

Take care..Nancy

Out of curiosity, compared to practice tests is 20 lower than what you were expecting?

What were your average bio, g-chem, and o-chem scores?

I usually did get 22 or 24 on all science sections or even 30s on practice exams. But, you never know what you will get on actual exam!
