It really depends on what you're aiming for. If you're looking to get into any dental school (no preference), then yes, ajj70 is correct. If you're looking to get into a particularly selective one/have the largest selection you can, the best method to make yourself an even more competitive applicant is to retake the DAT and aim for as high as you feel you can achieve (don't retake if you aren't confident you can do better). The post-bacc will help, but the benefit to cost ratio is extremely low when compared to retaking the DAT and say, getting a 22+. As I've said, it really depends on what you're aiming for and the resources you have at your disposal. Either way, good LORs and an excellent PS can only help.

I'm a senior in undergrad applying next cycle! I'm retaking my DAT in January and will be taking a full year of post-bacc science classes after I apply to dental schools.
Wondering what my chances are next cycle and what I can do to improve. What should I aim for when I retake the DAT? And would my extracurricular involvement do anything to offset my low GPA?

Major: Neuroscience
Minor: Business Admin
cGPA: 3.5
sGPA: 3.3
BCP GPA: 3.2
First DAT: 19AA, 18TS, 20PAT
Shadowing : ~150 hours
Medical/Dental Volunteering: 200+ hours (includes 2 dental mission trips)
Research: 3 semesters (neuroscience)
Other: held 6 total leadership positions within last two years (in Pre-Dental Society, Greek life, & a philanthropic organization); academic mentor to 2 freshmen; member of one honor society; tutored high school biology; recipient of a full ride to my university; worked 1-2 part-time jobs a few semesters

All insight appreciated!
