Minnesota DAT scores and GPA

Minnesota reports an average DAT Academic Average of 445 (Class of 2030, new DAT scale). The average DAT Total Science score was 444. These are on the DAT's newer three-digit score scale, so they can't be compared directly with the older 1 to 30 scores. Source

Minnesota reports an average overall GPA of 3.78 (Class of 2030). The average science GPA was 3.72. Source

These describe admitted students, not cutoffs. See how they compare across schools in our average GPA for dental school guide, and work out your own with our AADSAS GPA calculator.
