Not sure how to feel about my DAT scores...

[ms.mollymay]

Hey everyone! I took my DAT and am not sure how to feel...

QR 15
RC 20
Bio 19
General Chem 21
Organic Chem 21
PAT 20
AA 19
TS 20

I feel like I did decent across the board except in QR which is pretty low.... What do you guys think about my scores overall? I knew I would do badly in math

GPA: 3.84 SGPA: 3.81

You're fine. QR is the least looked at section by dental schools.

I would call a few schools and see what they think about the 15QR.

Seconded. I'd call some of the schools you plan on applying to and see what they say.

I'm only applying to one school and their range of accepted scores go from 15 - 22

 

[ms.mollymay]

Have you thought about applying to more schools?

Honestly it's not an option this year. If I have to reapply then I will but this year I'm just sticking to one....I realize it's a bit stupid but Ive already made my decision

Which school is it? Do they have a cut-off score?
In this case yeah i'd call them.

That makes it easy; just call up that school and you should be good to go

Colorado! I did a summer pre dent class with them and they said they accept scores ranging from 15-23

Oh ok. I'm assuming you're in instate applicant.
With a 19AA and a 3.8+ GPA you should have a good shot IMO.

I remember you from that other thread. You're OOS and not from one of those surrounding WICHE states. You do not have a good shot. Why is applying to more schools not an option? Is it money or like you said just a decision you made? I think you can definitely get into dental school this cycle, but colorado is really tough OOS so idk how good of an outlook it is.

I am from Arizona, a WICHE state
