Hey guys, this is my first post on SDN and I am really confused and do not know what to do.
I took the DAT recently and here are my scores:
PAT/ 17
QR/ 15
RC/ 18
Bio/ 24
GC/ 23
OC/ 21
TS/ 23
AA/ 20
As you can see, I did horrible on QR...I don't really know what happened, I got 22s in all of my practice and studied a lot for it, but I think I got a really hard version and started panicking...same with RC my scores were always in the 20s.
I know my TS is okay, but will my QR have a really bad effect on my application? I know certain schools have cutoff points, etc. I don't really want to retake it because then I might get lower scores on the sciences.
Background info:
GPA: 3.96 overall, 4.0 science
Heres the thing about my GPA though, I went to a different college during my freshmen year, had a 3.55 GPA from there but then I transferred and attended my current university for 3. years, thats where I got the 3.96 and 4.0 science. So considering everything, my overall combined should be around 3.8 and 3.9 sci? not really sure.
I have Good letters and lots of hours, and will be working on my application/personal statement hard for the next two weeks. Applications start around next week or so and I'm hoping to apply in the next 2-3 weeks. Please tell me what you guys think, I'm pretty disappointed because I did the worst at what I am really good at. Thank you in advance!
