I took my DAT over the summer, but am considering retaking it now, but not sure if it's worth it. My GPA is way below average (3.3 overall and 3.1 science)

here's my breakdown:
PAT: 24
Reading: 23
QR: 21
Bio: 19
GC: 23
OC: 19
TS: 20
AA: 21

I feel like my scores are average, not enough to offset my low GPA. But I'm not sure if I should retake or just focus on getting more shadowing/clinical hours and volunteer work. I have about 80 shadowing hours currently and am about to start volunteering at a dental clinic.

Thanks!

Your scores are in top 10%. You're good to go. I would recommend you to focus on other areas like taking upper level courses and try to push up ur gpa.
