Hello, I'm currently finishing up my post bac courses and getting ready for this upcoming application cycle. GPA from my previous school is low around 2.6 and sGPA is even lower than that.. After working 4 years as a dental technician, I decided to go back to school and try to fix the damage i've done.. So for now, I have 40 credits of 4.0 (or 4.12 if count A+ as 4.33). I'm taking biochem 1,2, physic 2 and gen chem2.. and planning to ace them as well.. I kept working in the same dental lab as a part time since I don't get support from my family.. At the end of the semester, my GPA would be slightly above 3.0 and sGPA around 3.1 with 57 credits of 4.1ish).. still low I know.. I'm planning to take DAT in late April and if the grade is not good, retaking it at the end of May after the semester is over, I would have a week to concentrate on DAT.. Since this is the last semester of post bac... I don't know.. I'm getting so worried..Working, doing schoolwork and studying for DAT aren't easy..And my grade is still below the line and nothing is sure. it comes and goes.. and distracts me to concentrate on studying. I'm turing 29 in May.. The only bright part I see for now is I wouldn't be regreting the last two years I spent for my dream. Really hope my dream come true thou..😳

I would recommend spending longer than that studying for the DAT.
If you can get up above 20 in the sciences.... you should be good. Otherwise push it back.
You will get into Dental school if you do good on the DAT. I was in a similar situation. Make sure you do the DAT destroyer at least three times through and Kaplan BB. I did that and it got me top 1 percentile. You can do it!
