What Are the Average DAT Scores of Different Dental Schools?

 

If you are planning to apply to dental school, you probably know that your score on the DAT is one of the most critical parts of your dental school application. Dental schools review every applicant’s AADSAS application looking at the score in different subsections of the DAT as well as the DAT Academic Average and Total Science scores.

What is a Competitive DAT Score for Dental School Admission? 

It depends in part on which dental schools you are applying to. Some programs consider a score of 18 or higher to be competitive while others prefer applicants with a score of 20 or higher. To be most competitive for dental school admission, we advise students to aim for a score of 20 or higher in each section of the DAT.

That being said, many dental school applicants get in with scores lower than 20. If your scores don’t reach 20 but are close, you may still have a strong chance, especially if you have a solid predental GPA and the rest of your application looks strong.

Which Dental Schools Accept Students with Lower DAT Scores?

If your DAT scores fall below the averages of most programs, the best way to improve your chances of acceptance is to retake the DAT. However, if you plan to apply with a lower DAT score, be strategic about which dental schools you target.  Some schools have minimum cutoffs and verifying that you meet these cutoffs is critical.

Below, we have provided the minimum DAT score requirements for different dental schools and the average DAT score of accepted students. This data is based on information published on the schools’ websites. Some schools provided information on the overall DAT score or the Academic Average while others provided information on each section.

For some programs, we did find information on their website about their minimum or average DAT scores. For these dental schools, we have indicated that the information was “not found.” If a dental school listed preferred, recommended, or competitive DAT scores as well, we included this information where it was available.

If a Dental School Does Not Provide Information on Minimum DAT Scores, Do They Not Have a Minimum?

If a school does not provide this information, it may be that they do not have a hard cutoff. To be sure, however, we advise applicants to reach out to the dental school and confirm this.

How Long Is My DAT Score Valid?

The validity of your DAT score depends on the school you are applying to. Typically, dental schools consider a DAT score valid if the test was taken within 2 or 3 years of applying. A few schools accept DAT scores that are 4 or 5 years old. Before applying, it is important to check the validity requirements for each school.

List of DAT Requirements by Dental School

The dental schools below are listed in order from those with the lowest minimum cutoff to those with the highest minimum cutoff. Schools for which we did not find information on minimums are listed after.

Disclaimer: For the most up-to-date and accurate information, we advise students to visit each school’s website. The requirements listed below are subject to change.

* In the list above, we have included information on the validity of DAT scores for different dental schools. If the school indicated, we included whether the time to expiry was from the time of the application or from the time of matriculation. Some schools did not indicate this. For those programs, it is safer to assume that the validity is until the time of the application.

** For the most up-to-date and accurate information, visit each school’s website and communicate with the school directly as requirements may change. Admissions Helpers cannot guarantee that the information provided here is entirely up-to-date or accurate.
