I wrote my DAT on June 26th which was yesterday.

Here's my american DAT score

PAT:20
GC:17
Bio:19
QR:18
OC:22
RC:19
-------
AA:19
TA:19

I'm a canadian citizen and I know nothing about american schools except that I have to use AADSAS to prepare the application.

My converted american GPA is 3.53(overall) / 3.75(science)

1. Do you think I have a shot for any interview?
2. Which schools accept mostly international students?
3. I really want to get in Upenn... But my DAT score seems bit low... Do I have to retake the test??
4. my G-chem score seems little bit low.. would that matter??
5. Do some schools look at specifically one section from DAT? ex) RC score

Thx for your adivce

Your scores seem fine. I have no idea which schools take the largest # of international students. However, I'm sure if you visit the schools' website they have some info posted about this. I know many private schools don't really have any rules or regulations against residency. So, I those are the schools you should be looking at.
What's wrong with Canadian dental schools?
What made you wanna go to DS in US? (Just curious)

frigging canadian schools expect too much from students....

First of all... lot of schools want 3.9+ GPA and 20 on DAT. Also they are not many DS in Canada, which is kinda sucks...

Canada only has like 10 dental schools (which is pretty low for a country that big).

That combined with ridiculous grade inflation (just my opinion) makes it hard to get into Canadian dental schools.

To the OP:

Try NYU; practically every Canadian I know got accepted to NYU (all with stats similar to yours). NYU seems to be pretty Canadian friendly.
