Should I be worried? I got above a 21 in every other section, and I do not want to retake the DAT.

You should be fine. RC is important, but it won't kill you. Just make sure the rest of your app is good and you should be fine.

Without a 5.0 and 31AA OP will never get into Yale dental school

On a serious note a 22 is a great score. Sure your RC is below average but you still have a great shot at getting in to dental school. I'd only retake if your sights are set on UCLA as an OOSer or Harvard.

I got in UCLA with AA 21 and RC 18.

@Nguyenu Were you an out of state applicant?

Also I took this exam halfway through my sophomore year, will adcoms look down upon this?

I am in state resident🙂. And english is not my first language, I was worried about my RC, but somehow they let me in.

Congrats on the acceptance. My point was that people from out of state have a much lower chance of getting in.
