They don't have Dat cutoffs

They can, but will they? Retake?

It's a 3 year program, They will want to see better than that

OP, better question is what's your AA and TS? Hypothetically if you have 24+ it's forgivable, but the adcoms will really wonder why you underperformed in RC, which btw is apparently the strongest indicator of dental school success

22 AA, 26 TS.

my gpa isn't solid. What happens with a 22 AA, 27 GC, 27 OC, 21 BIO, 17 QR, 20 PAT and 26 TS can it offset a low gpa?

I think you will be fine! Great scores. Schedule a tour of the school too before applications open so they know you

I'm going to disagree with some previous posters.

On UoP's website they state that their average RC score is a 22. Of course, this means lower scores than 22 get in, but a 17 is probably pushing it. RC is seen as one of the most important scores.

If your GPA is low like you've said, and your RC is a 17, I think your chances of a UoP interview are slim. If you're comfortable with what will most likely be a waste of $200, go for it. I'd spend it on another school though.

Don't feed the troll. This guy changes his stats every other post... A month ago he was claiming he hand a 2.8 with an 18AA. Just look at his post history. He does a decent troll job though haha

I just retook the DAT. My undergrad gpa is a 2.8 and graduate is a 3.17 which brings my cumulative to a 2.9 ok.

I think that graduate GPA of 3.17 is going to hurt. I believe most schools look for you do extremely well (3.7+) in Post-bacc or Master programs.
