DAT score

DAT score

I just got my scores back. I kinda saw it coming, but I was aiming higher since I honestly don't have a lot of ECs. The only ones I have are shadowing, a little volunteering experience, and being in college-based organizations (pre-dental group activities). I'm applying to the next cycle, 2027. I really need you guys' honest opinion on whether I should retry on DAT or just apply to schools with these stats, and which schools might be the best bet in your opinion. I was aiming higher to be competitive, at least in the DAT section, because the rest of my application might be weaker. Please help with any advice!

PAT section advice

Ive taken the PAT test 3 times and have scored exact same score-280 in all. On one of them, I scored better in TFE, and on the other I scored better in angle ranking, but it's never all together, and I always end up getting 280 and run out of time with at least 50-40 questions remaining. I need advice on how to fix this. I've practiced so much.
