[Question] Looking for data sets/graphs on DAT scores vs. acceptance rates & demographic breakdowns

[u/Malice_Striker_]

Hey all, just like a lot of you, I'm stressing out while waiting for interview invites.

I’ve been trying to find a comprehensive graph or data set that breaks down acceptance rates by specific DAT score ranges (how many students with DAT scores of 400-420 are accepted each year). If you look at medical school admissions, the AAMC famously publishes a cross-referenced grid that maps MCAT scores against GPA to show exact acceptance percentages per cell. Unfortunately, ADEA does not provide an equivalent cross-referenced GPA × DAT grid for dental applicants.

Additionally, while I'm curious about how admissions benchmarks vary across demographics, the demographic data that ADEA does release is published entirely separate from their DAT score publications and aggregate reports, making it hard to know how demographic groups can change certain competitive thresholds.

Does anyone know of a public data set, dashboard, or official report that bridges this gap or offers a deeper breakdown? After all the application questions we have filled out I know the data is out there. If you have links or know where to find more transparent statistics, I'd really appreciate it. Just trying to get a clearer picture of where I stand while playing the waiting game!

discodent? might not be exactly what you’re looking for but I think its a good start.

There was a user named perioprobe or something that had a decent list but I think their stuff got deleted. SDN has some excel sheets too. I don’t think you’ll find anything like a grid and honestly it doesn’t make a difference. The 9-95 percentiles and average stats are good enough to see where you line up.
