Hi, guys my AADSAS application was mailed out to schools on Sep. 13th. Only got one interview from NSU so far. I got it on Jan 23th, and yeah I don't think I'll get any pre-Dec interview🙁 I asked NSU if getting a improved DAT scores before interview could possibly affect my interview in a positive way and enhance my possibility of acceptance. The answer was pretty vague, but I took their answer as a 'yes.' I'm planning to ask other schools, but before then I just wanted to hear what others might think. So here's my question: does getting higher DAT score before interviews improve my possibility of getting accepted? Thank you!

p.s my stats can be seen at PreDents.com just in case..

Looking over your scores, there is no need for you to retake IMO. A 21 is above average for acceptance (depending on the school), so I wouldn't worry. Just be prepared for your interview and you'll be fine.
