Bcpgpa or sgpa should also be taken into account! if those are good ( ~3.5+) no need to retake
Yes
Yes retake. I have similar stats and was not successful this cycle.
Definitely retake DAT ASAP and aim for 23+
If she/he has time and the resources to do so, then yes! :)
Yess!!
Yes
I would say to get the DAT up to at least a 19, or do a post bacc program to increase GPA :)
While a DAT of 18 isn't bad, it does limit your odds on being accepted into dental school. While the DAT and GPA aren't everything when it comes to applying to dental school, they are weighed heavily. If you feel confident in your application as a whole (based on your extracurriculars, service, and shadowing), it may not be necessary. However, you should consider applying to schools whose average DAT score is on the lower end.
