I took the test DAT 3 times already...i know🙁...yuck! and still didn't get the score I wanted. So now i want to give it one last shot. I called the ADA place and they say to take more than 3 times, you need to:
1. send/fax them a letter from a dental school recommending you to retake the test
2. send/fax them a complete application to any dental school
3. a letter from the pre-dent committee recommending you to retake
(for the current cycle only!!!)
..but now the real question is: should I take it the 4th time? Will that make me look really bad?
I have a 3.67 GPA, low average DAT score (AA: 17, PAT:16)

How did you do the first couple of times around? Your GPA is pretty solid so one would expect your AA to be better than 17.
