I am done with my DAT!
Although I didn’t do as well as I had hoped (really wanted 20+), but at least I broke 20? I don’t think I am going to retake (at least not this year). I’m going to just apply and if I don’t get accepted, I will retake next year. But retaking this year will only put me behind in the application and I doubt I will improve by more than 1 point which is kinda useless.
What’s done is done. The only thing I can do now is  keep hoping&praying for an acceptance.
USC and NYU are my top two schools.
Now that I’m done with my DATs, I feel weird. I’m no longer carrying around my flashcards or burying myself in a book. I don’t know what to do with my free time anymore…time for  a new hobby!
But at the same time, I keep worrying about whether or not my score is good enough to get accepted this year. I keep stalking the SDN forums and predents website, looking at everyone’s stats. I don’t think it’s doing me any good staring at everyone’s super high scores. Hopefully the statistics of the people on SDN don’t represent the statistics of the entire application pool or else I will just have to kiss dentistry goodbye forever.
