I have a 3.18 gpa. B.A. in biology. Messed up my first year and a half. After then my grades went up. My upper level biology gpa is 3.8 including B+ in bio Chem and A+ in orgo 2. I took a total of 10 upper level biology classes. I am an underrepresented minor. I will be applying this up coming cycle and have decent extra curricular activities although no shadowing experience( will start calling dentists soon). What dat score should I be pushing for?

What score do I need?

Get help with your application
Use all the free resources available to you from SDN: articles, guides, expert advising, forums discussions, and school research.
As high as possible of course but I agree with customx that 22+ would be ideal.
@Dwade06 push for a 20 and since you are in the URM apply to meharry and howard. You only need a science gpa of about 3.0-3.1 to be compeititve for both of these schools, i know you said your gpa is a 3.18
Always aim for the highest you can. Ideally, schools like to see at least 20 now but usually if you get 22+, schools will be interested in you, especially if the school's average for DAT is around 20.
My rule of thumb - For every .1 below a 3.5, add a point to a 19 AA DAT score
3.5-19
3.4-20
3.3-21
3.2-22
3.1-23
3.5-19
3.4-20
3.3-21
3.2-22
3.1-23
With your GPA, I recommend a 22+. I would say 21, but your GPA is definitely on the lower side. Regardless, both of these scores are not easy to attain. Good luck. Study hard!
