You're looking at it very superficially. The american schools that only accept US DAT scores RARELY accept Canadians. Here take a close look at this:

Notice that there's really only about 5 schools that are truly "Canadian friendly" while there are tons of other schools that accept 1 or 2 Canadians every year? Fun fact, almost all of them accept the Canadian DAT accept 1 or 2 like University of Michigan (it doesn't because it's an in-state school). I've been through the application process and wasted a ridiculous amount of money applying to schools like Texas or Nebraska only to have wasted thousands of dollars so hopefully this will help some of you guys. :)

 

Thank you for this! If you don't mind me asking where did you find this??

There's more to it than what you listed. I've taken both the Canadian and American DAT,  the American DAT covers more topics within biology and asks slightly different types of questions. And the reading comprehension is also different, which is why you get less time on the Canadian one.

I studied a lot harder and focused on the right content using the right materials, it ended up paying off:

Nov 2018 DAT: Bio 17/ Chem 19/ PAT 18/ Reading 18/  AA 18

Feb 2019 DAT: Biol 26 / Chem 21/ PAT 20 / Reading 20 / AA 23

what did you use to study for feb 2019???
