Data from official dentistry school disclosures. Match categories are estimates based on percentile vs admitted-student medians and acceptance rate — they are not a guarantee of admission.

How the dental chances calculator works

  1. 1

    Enter your DAT score

    Type your DAT score (range 1–30) into the calculator. Estimates are allowed — you can also enter a target score you're working towards.

  2. 2

    Enter your GPA

    Enter your undergraduate GPA (range 2.0–4.0). Use cumulative GPA on the 4.0 scale. Your match categories update immediately.

  3. 3

    Review your match categories at the top schools

    For each of the top 20 dental schools, the calculator shows whether you are a Safety, Target, Reach, or Far Reach. Safety = your stats exceed 75% of admitted students; Target = at or above the median; Reach = below median but within the admitted range; Far Reach = below the 25th percentile.

  4. 4

How categories are calculated

  • Safety (75-100): your stats exceed 75% of admitted students.
  • Target (50-74): at or above the median admit.
  • Reach (25-49): below median but within the admitted range.
  • Far Reach (0-24): below the 25th percentile of admitted students.

Dentistry uses a 50/50 DAT/GPA weighting.
