Retake DAT?

[applicant]

I have a question regarding my DAT.

I will be applying this summer and my top choice dental schools are Columbia and UOP.

I've taken my DAT last summer and I received AA - 21, TS - 20,

I have low GPA of around Total GPA - 3.35 and Science GPA - 3.1.

When I took DAT, I was disappointed because I expected about 22.

Is it worth to retake DAT again, considering my top choice dental schools?

Any input will be appreciated.

Your DAT is fine. What was your PAT?

Retaking the DAT after you scored pretty well sounds like a risky proposition if you ask me. Id just make sure you apply really early (like in May) and just nail that interview. I dunno about UOP, but for Columbia, that GPA isnt bad if its coming from a quality undergrad. I think they put quite a bit of weight on your undergrad school. I had a 3.32overall and 3.25 sci from Michigan. And honestly, at my interview it seemed like all the students there were coming from top schools - ivies, ucla, UCberkeley, washington, michigan, UToronto...you get the point...
