I took the DAT yesterday and got these scores:

Bio: 19
GChem: 19
OChem: 21
RC: 18
PAT: 15 😳
QR: 14 😳 😳
TS: 20
AA: 18

Clearly the PAT and QR are scores are beyond sucky. My sciGPA is 3.48 and my cumGPA is 3.5. I also have a lot of experience volunteering and working in dental offices. I applied to a lot of dental schools but the main ones I am interested in are UMDNJ, NYU, Temple, and UPenn. Obviously my chances at UPenn are beyond low, but I was wondering what you guys think about my chances at the other three. My first choice is UMDNJ and their PAT avg. is like 16.something. Do you guys think that I have a chance there? Does anyone know if any of these four schools have minimum scores they require in all sections? I tried to look at their websites and e-mailed them but haven't gotten any replies yet. Do you guys think it will be worth it to retake it in december which will be the earliest I can take it or will that be too late?

lastly, does anyone know ANYONE who has been accepted to these schools with PAT or QR scores this low?

Any comments or advice will be much appreciated.

it'l probably best to call up some schools. i think your QR and PAT may be below the cutoff for certain schools. gl.
