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!

should i push back my dat?

my dat is in exactly 3 weeks. i haven’t taken all the practice tests yet so far as you can see but i keep getting below average or just average on most of them and im nervous. i just want at least a 20 or 21 (i forgot what that is in the new scoring). but be honest should i push back or do you think i have time to grind it out for 3 weeks?
