What minimum AA score, in your opinion, would be considered "excellent" on DAT? Somewhat subjective issue, I would imagine. Nonetheless, I would like to gather some responses from you all.
I voted for 21 too as that is around 90-95 percentile score.
Here is my detailed breakdown:
19 = Average for Admission
20 = Pretty Good
21 = Very Darn Good
22 = Excellent
23 = Stud
24 = Big Man on Campus
25 = Gladiator
26-27 = Elite/Genius
28-30 = Freak of Nature
.
Hahahha, damn, nice pics.
But you give too much props to Havard. Their entering class had an average DAT of 21 last year.
But 21 is an awesome score. It was what I was aiming for, as it's the threshold score that can open a lot of doors.
Have you ever been to Harvard?Yeah... actually that nerd with the book is what is truly representative of Harvard
Nonetheless, my vote goes out to 21 as 19 is slightly below average and 20 is slightly above average, therefore putting 21 at well above the average sector!
Have you ever been to Harvard?
Haha I was asking because Harvard undergrad students didn't seem "nerdy" at all when I was visiting.
You'd know, right?Lol, the nerdy ones don't go outside. You're getting a skewed sample population.
You'd know, right?
Or they chose their score as the cutoff for "excellent", lolIt appears 21 is the general consensus.
it was just an observation; i could be wrong. I actually picked 22 because I see alot of 21 on here and I consider my score average.Thanks for justifying your vote.
Ha!!! I could only dream of a 23 like yours. I'm not a bio major and just started a year and a half ago. You're definitely smarter than the average albino bear.Underachievers.
21/30 is only 70 percent!
Pfftt.

Please refer to post #18 in this thread.I have a strange feeling that the OP is part of an adcom. Am I right?
Perhaps NOVA...?

Following your logic, Harvard's average a few years ago was about 24. So 24, not 22, would be the minimum score to be considered "excellent?" Haha this just goes on to show how subjective this can be. Anyway, keep the votes coming everyone. The voting will wrap up sometime next week.
Cool story broHarvard's DAT isn't what it used to be. It was 21AA last year, a far cry from the 24AA in 2006. Maybe they realized that accepting people based on their DAT scores weren't such a great idea? After a certain score, let's say 22AA, everyone is on even footing, and other components of their application should be scrutinized further.
As of 2011, 22AA is the score ALL dental school will consider 'excellent'.
A 21AA, while still a great score, will be considered below average at Columbia.
I am part of Yale School of Dental Medicine's admissions committee for this cycle.Hahaha. Am I right?
I don't want to embarrass myself at my interview by asking in person.
