hey sdn community,
i've read the threads on specializing and it seems the general consensus of the SDN on specializing is to "keep your options open by performing well in dental school [extracurricularly and academically] and to make your decision on whether or not you want to specialize only after 3 or 4 years of dental school."
to keep the options open for now [as an applicant for the fall 2011 class], i was wondering how much, if at all, the DAT plays into matching for specialty programs. would it be advantageous to retake the DAT before [hopefully] matriculating to dental school to try for a higher mark if I do decide to specialize down the road?
-wahoo.
