Hi everyone,

Ok here's my story. I'm applying to dental school this cycle and have sent in all my applications already, except for a few secondaries. Now my dilemma is that I took my DAT last week and Got an AA = 17 and TS=17 (14 in QR). I'm 99.9% sure I'm gonna retake the DAT after 90 days, but I'm confused about my chances for this cycle.

My GPA = 3.63 , sGPA=3.5, nonSGPA = 3.93
Strong Recommendations
Participated in Summer Enrichment Program
Many EC, and founder of Biological Sciences Soceity.

Now I know that if I retake I can get at least 19s in every section. But even with a AA of 20 Do I have a chance for this cycle. I feel like I wasted my $$$$ and time.

I'm really confused and need advice. Thanks

I applied to
VCU, UMD, Howard, Temple, Pittsburgh, NOVA, Case, Creighton, Buffalo, NYU, Midwestern, and Tufts

whats done is done. the only thing you can do is work hard to improve on the retake. in the mean time, don't worry about the money. you have a very competitve gpa so you could end up with an interview before you retake the dat...or you could get one after as well. and if that happens, you won't feel like you're wasting money.
