Should I retake?

I need an advice from last cycles' applicants. I took my DATs twice and the scores 19AA and 20 Sciences. I have around 3.6 sciences and academic GPA. I did a summer dental program. I did a lot of shadowing. I had many leadership positions. I spoke with NYU admission and I was told to retake my DATs because I got 18 in Math, PAT and 17 in reading( first time), 16 in reading(second time). English is my second language and I have been in the states for 5 years. I don't wanna risk my 20 in sciences tbh and retake it. Is there any chance I can get in somewhere with these stats? Do you know anyone who got in, last cycle 2018, with similar stats?

If NYU tells you that you need to retake, then you should retake.

One person told me that NYU said the same thing to her, and she got in

You really trust strangers more than a dental school, even if that dental school is insanely overly priced you should still listen.

I see your point, you are totally right

With that being said an increase in your DAT would really go a long way given that you seem to be a well-rounded applicant and your GPA is pretty good.

Do you think mid July is late to retake it?

A little late but worth it
