I'm retaking bc of the lower scores in BIO and PAT, I feel like I should have higher scores to compensate for my gpa (especially science pga) being on the lower end. I will also have approx. 2 months between finals and the DAT test date.

your gpa is not "on the lower end"
avg matriculant GPA is 3.55, so while it is lower than that, it is not "on the lower end"
if you are sure you will do better, and have enough time and money, go for it
good luck to you...

I'm pretty confident with retake as I'm in a much better headspace than last year and at a much better spot with my material review. I was hesitant at first to retake but ultimately my pre-health advisor recommended I do it as well. Thank you for the well wishes!
