Hi All,

I just took the DAT this past week and got

AA 20

TS 19
BIO 18
GC 22
OC 19

PAT 22
RC 21
QR 19

I won't be applying until next cycle (june 2015). I was wondering anyone thinks that I should retake the test. I have been looking around and seeing that most averages for those admitted to dental school is a 20-21 with a TS of 20-21 so I am a little nervous because my Total Science is lower than that.

Just looking for some opinions!

Thanks.

Also my GPA is a 3.97

and I have some EC's definitely will be using this year to build up that though!

That is an excellent gpa, your GPA should balance out your DAT (which is at or just below competitive). I think you should be fine but you never want to take chances!!! I would retake it again and focus on what your weaknesses are, do chads videos and dat boot camp and you will be more than prepared to take the test lol
