My score are :
BIO 21
Ochem 20
Gchem 23
QR 17
RC 16
PAT 15
My gpa is 3.7 science and 3.4 non-science
this was my second time taking the DAT and last time I had a 18 on PAT. I applied to 26 schools and trying my best to send everything promptly.
I do didnt want to rush and retake it and mess it up again, since it would be my third takinig it.
Do I have a chance to get into at least one school. Or since its too late for the admision of 2012 should I just take it ins spring? Or should I just give up my dental school dream and go for caribean medical school. 🙁
I appreciate any suggestion
 
In my opinion, you're gonna have to retake it. A 16 RC score and a 15 PAT score doesn't look too good. BUT on a positive note, you do have a solid GPA. Just study for awhile and take it when you KNOW you're gonna do well. It can be done. Keep your head up and become a dentist if it's what you really want to do.

Did you not study for half of the sections?

Too bad there aren't any ADA accredited dental schools in the Caribbean besides Puerto Rico. I would totally be down!
