Average DAT scores at every US dental school.

Every number in this table comes from the school’s own published admissions materials — class profiles, admissions FAQs, official fact sheets — and every school page links straight to the source. Where a school doesn’t publish a stat, we say so instead of guessing. Admissions numbers shift every cycle: treat this as a sourced snapshot (July 2026) and confirm on the school’s admissions page before you build your list.

Scores appear on whichever scale the school published — many still use the legacy 1–30 scale. We show both, translated with the official ADA concordance (score converter), and the official percentile tables tell you what any number actually means. Where a school publishes only a section score, a minimum, or a range rather than a class average, the cell is blank — we would rather show nothing than pass off a Total Science score as an Academic Average.

The last column is the one no school prints: the true four-year cost, tuition and fees and living costs plus the interest that compounds on all of it while you are still in class. It is what separates the cheapest seat in the country from the priciest by roughly $368,000 — for the identical degree. Estimates from cost-of-attendance data published circa 2022, almost all at out-of-state or private rates. Compare all 64 schools → · See what one DAT point is worth →
