Just wondering if there are those out there with lower GPA's and DAT scores who got into dental school. What is on your application that allowed you to "better" your chances?

I think the gpa matters the most

Improving trends will also matter.

From what I've seen, it's pretty difficult to get accepted with both low GPA and low DAT scores. Even if you have excellent lor's, a great ps, and tons of shadowing, schools need to see that you can handle an intensive courseload.
