I recently took the DAT, and well... it didn't end up that great. Here are my scores:
PAT: 20
QR: 21
RC: 21
Bio.: 16
General Chem.: 18
Organic Chem.: 17
TS: 17
AA: 19
sGPA: 3.7
cGPA: 3.8
I have been the president of my university's pre-dental honors society for a year now and will start working as a DA1 till 2023 August (during my gap year).

Yes. Bio is one of the most important scores and it is too low. Your TS is low as well. I would retake.

Your science scores are on the low side so I would recommend a retake. You have an excellent GPA and you should be very proud of that, dental schools will notice. It is obvious from your GPA that you are a hard working student and expected a much higher score. I would highly recommend a retake and make sure to reassess your study plan especially for the science sections.

Wishing you the best...Nancy
