I took the DAT yesterday and got:

PA: 20
QR: 18
RC: 24
Bio: 22
GC: 24
Orgo: 16
TS: 20
AA: 21

I'm pretty happy with my scores but am worried about orgo. I have a solid GPA from UofM but have heard rumors about some schools having DAT cutoffs. What do you guys recommend?
 
Those seem like really good scores! Mostly consistent, except for the OC, like you said. I've heard of people suggesting to call the dental schools they are interested in to see if a retake is necessary. I feel like your other scores are high enough that you wouldn't really need to retake. Unfortunately I'm not an adcom.. so it's impossible for me to say.

Otherwise, congrats & good luck! 🙂
 
yea, I would just call the schools and find out if they have a cutoff for DAT scores before you apply....but besides that, good job on everything else!
 
I've already applied tho. AADSAS print out mailed june 23rd. I'm applying to umich, uofd, pitt, case, temple, and osu.
