DAT scoring just got a major update and dental school admissions coach Ellen Watts breaks down what you need to know 📚
The old DAT score of 20 = new score of 420 (yes really!)
For GPAs: 3.2+ puts you in good shape, but schools want to see that upward trend. Below 3.2? Consider post-bacc courses or a master’s program to show you can handle the rigor
Pro tip: track your extracurricular hours in a spreadsheet – dental schools use the honor system but they WILL verify if needed. Don’t lie, just be honest about your time commitments
Remember: every struggle is a chance to show resilience in your essays 💪
