Well, I just took my DATs and did decent.

18 overall
20 biology
20 orgo
17 chem
19 Total Science
17 QR
18 RC
20 PAT

This being the second time applying to dental school I'm just not sure these scores will do it. I played baseball at University of Maryland and graduated with a 3.0 GPA. Obviously, I didn't get into school the first time so I went to graduate school at chatham university and now have a 4.0 GPA and only my research to finish. My application is pretty strong and I have tons of dental experience, because my father is a dentist. I guess my questions are:

1. Are my DAT scores high enough to get in (i applied to 14 schools haha)
2. How much will my 4.0 GPA in grad school erase the 3.0 i got in undergrad?

Members don't see this ad.
 
I'm not in a position to say anything because i'm applying this cycle as well.

But i think, if you think you can do better, it's better if you take it again.
Dump up to 20s maybe 21..

While your 4.0 in grad school may be impressive, your DAT scores are more a reflection of your undergrad than your grad scholastic achievement.
