What grades (GPA) and DAT scores do I need to get into dental school?
• Your grades and DAT scores are often used to assess your academic potential. There is no magic cut-off for either score. The two may offset each other, that is, a high GPA can somewhat compensate for a lower DAT and visa versa. To be competitive your scores should be about the same as the average scores of those of the last years entering medical school class. In general, a combination of a GPA of 3.5 (or above) and a total DAT score of 20 (or above) is competitive.
