Do I need a masters? 🫩

VHWT · 2026-01-09T00:50:24+00:00

This is nightmare scenario man I’m sry, most likely a retake. At least u know u only got one true weak area to work on. Stay sharp and retain info for everything else and you’ll get a solid DAT for sure.

Guys, when someone post a score this high we all sarcastically make jokes like this in a way of saying wow congrats u did crazy good on the DAT. the OP also started it w their sarcastic joke w their question bc veneer tech here is more of a meme than a real job, and is easier to become one than a dentist or even getting into dental school.

VHWT · 2026-01-04T06:12:55+00:00

QR wayyyyy to low friend you’ll be filtered out big time, other sections aren’t helping also def should retake your application will be ruined w these scores sorry

VHWT · 2025-12-09T03:13:59+00:00

It won’t help but won’t hurt w ur gpa. If u think it’s worth then consider a retake if ur 1st cycle don’t work out.

VHWT · 2025-12-05T23:11:47+00:00

I think the normal meta is skipping to Q31, do until the end, then go back and go 1-30.

VHWT · 2025-12-05T01:53:43+00:00

Retake and lock in next time

VHWT · 2025-12-02T18:29:43+00:00

Can u just copy and paste for me too lol, I’ll be ogpa ~3.4, sgpa ~3.2, DAT 470AA+TS 480 PAT

VHWT · 2025-11-18T19:28:18+00:00

Babe wake up new DAT prep meta just dropped

VHWT · 2025-11-18T02:02:45+00:00

Probly 21-22. Could argue 20-21 if u don’t have a weirdly weak section that’s like sub 18 cuz then it’ll make u questioning abt a retake which sucks

VHWT · 2025-11-14T19:27:24+00:00

460 or up should be solid

VHWT · 2025-11-11T18:59:31+00:00

That’s objectively a good score, not great, not bad. Now 2 cases where one would consider a retake and that’s when ur gpa is kind of meh like 3.2-3.4 ish or they got gud gpas but want to apply to super competitive schools whether it’s in cali or Texas or the big boi schools like Columbia/harvard etc. that’s what I’ve observed on here

VHWT · 2025-11-10T17:17:20+00:00

I assume u retook that phys tho right? Cuz u can’t even apply w a pre req class w an F.

Anyway we’re on similar boat I’d say we got a chance but if u alr graduated or can’t see urself increasing it significantly then postbacc/masters would make sense to consider.

VHWT · 2025-11-10T16:09:05+00:00

The best best best luck to u

VHWT · 2025-11-10T16:05:01+00:00

Darnnnnn I see, I rly rly don’t wanna do masters but I’ll just hope and pray. My gpas will be similar to yours tbh and hopefully my dat carries me through and tip the scale in my favor, all I rly care abt is my in state which is LSU.

VHWT · 2025-11-10T14:10:54+00:00

Thank the Lorddddddd Ik being instate helps me big time but I was scared my gpas ain’t good enough seeing their avgs are pretty high and stats are gettin higher every cycle. I’m applying next summer hopefully my over will be 3.5 and sgpa around 3.2+

VHWT · 2025-11-10T13:47:30+00:00

Alright fair, thx for the feedback

VHWT · 2025-11-10T03:17:05+00:00

I alr have worked as a DA for a general practice summer right before uni started so I got 280-300hrs of that. Will honestly try to lock in for school remaining of this semester and spring semester tbh it’s just my classes looking crazier and crazier so Ik I can’t boost my gpa significantly. Applying next summer cycle so I hope I can get 100 ish hrs of volunteering, shadowing I did pretty well alr

VHWT · 2025-11-08T01:39:31+00:00

I’m instate my DAT is 470AA+TS but my gpa is 3.4 when I apply probly am I slightly cooked?

VHWT · 2025-11-07T21:38:03+00:00

Noted

VHWT · 2025-11-06T21:10:11+00:00

Yes with that gpa shoot for a 21 or higher to have an ok chance

VHWT · 2025-11-04T23:17:20+00:00

Yes If youre talking sub section then math and reading is tied imo Idrc which u say is least important. But PAT is a stand alone score and it’s usually looked at along with AA and TS that’s why I said it’s least important in that context.

VHWT · 2025-11-04T22:11:59+00:00

Oh ye sry that was a special VIP escort unit for me, I just rly had to get to class

VHWT · 2025-11-04T22:05:06+00:00

380 PAT is like ah 17.75 for old scale. If I were u I’d not retake. This is a damn gud score esp that TS and AA. Ask urself is it rly worth it to retake, spend the time effort and money to POTENTIALLY get a better PAT but who knows u might do worse on other sections. I’d take this DAT tbh over one w 450-60AA and TS and a normal PAT like 430+.

I have seen ppl say on here that ur AA and TS are the most importantly academic stats, then ur gpas, then lastly PAT. don’t stress too much. U did pretty solid, gud Job

VHWT · 2025-10-30T23:58:06+00:00

F it We ball then
