Hi! I would like an orientation on the type of scores I would have to achieved in order to enter Dental School. My Overall GPA is 3.6 and my Science Overall GPA is 3.73. I could add I am a minority (mexican). I have heard horrible stories of the DAT and although I am studying hard for it...well... I am a little bit scare. I would really appreciate your feedback Thanks!

Dont worry about trying to get a certain score. No one score is guaranteed to get you accepted. Just keep studying hard and score as high as you can. If you work hard, it will pay off. Although, with your gpa, scoring above 20, or even 19, should guarantee you a couple interviews for sure - at that point its up to you to convince them you deserve a spot.

If you get 18+ on the DAT, then I would say you will get interviews at most schools. And for some schools, getting an 18+ will pretty much guarentee you admission, unless you work at messing up your interview.

IMO, you could probably get away with a 17 or 18 overall. Your GPA is very good.
