Hello everyone!
I took my DAT in August and I'm currently in the interview process for dental school this year and debating whether I should retake it. I have applied to 14 dental schools and have gotten 5 interview invitations. At some interviews I have been asked "Do you plan to retake the DAT?" or "Are you satisfied with your DAT score?". This, as well as comparing my scores with others on SDN has made me really reconsider if I should retake the exam or not.
Here are my stats:
Attend a top 10 public university
DAT: AA/TS/BIO/OC/GC/PAT/RC/QR
19/20/20/20 /20 /18/20/15
sGPA with +/-: 3.40
sGPA w/o: 3.46
GPA: 3.62
I have research, volunteering, and several leadership positions as well as service on my app.
Should I retake?
