Thank you. Is there any cutoff for the DAT? I took mine in March 2023

it does not say, this is a question to ask the school direcrly. I do not have answers for you other than what can be found in the link.

The school will need to fill seats fast if they end up getting accreditation approval, I would guess probably, at minimum, a 17AA (370AA)
