Personally, I don't care what school I get into even if it is the worst dental school in the country. I am trying to qualify for the army scholarship so it doesn't matter what school I get into.

I am taking the DAT in 16 days but am not feeling very good about it. I am not applying till next year though.

My current stats
Science/overall GPA : 4.0

all my prereqs are from CC but I currently just finished my 1st semester at a top 80 university and still maintained my gpa while taking 2 upper level science courses. I still have 2 years worth of upper level science courses to take before graduating with a bio degree.( I am positive I can maintain at least a B+ on all of them).

So what DAT score would I need to get into ANY dental school?

I am so stressed about not doing well on the DAT and seeing this 24+AA scores a on this site are destroying my confidence.

thank you.

20 AA/20 TS/ 20 PAT could get you in-- aim higher though obviously..

I've been told by numerous school officials that having all your prereqs from CC is looked down upon. Maybe you should consider retaking some of them at your current school to demonstrate that you can do well on the prereqs, regardless of the school.

I don't think there is any point of retaking them if I am gonna be taking classes like microbio, system physiology, immunology, genetics, etc.

Didn't see the community college stuff. That changes things a little bit. You NEED to go to schools websites and see what their admissions requirement state. I would say majority of schools limit the number of CC credits you can take, so you need to be selective about schools you apply to. Otherwise, you are going to end up retaking a lot of required courses.
