This is her second time applying, and it was her second DAT. Her first DAT was an AA of 21, but she had a lowish science score. I believe it was like 18-19. As far as her GPA goes, it's not astoundingly high...I think it lies somewhere around 3.4 now. It used to be 3.33, but she took 8 credits worth of Anatomy post-bachelor and got nothing but A's, so I think it's leaning close to 3.4 as of this cycle. Her science GPA was a little low, dipping near 3.0, but again, 2 A's in 8 credits probably brought that up a little.
Now, with context out of the way, here's her breakdown for her second DAT:
PA: 27 QR: 27 RC: 24 BIO: 20 GC: 22 OC: 26 TS: 22 AA: 24
I could give specific schools if that would help frame these references even better. From what I remember, she's applied to Stony Brook, NYU, Lecom, Buffalo, Arizona Still, Maryland, and Touro. I think she might've applied to a couple more, but she got rejected before she could retake the DAT. The only one that's offered her an interview for now is Lecom, but NYU has shown a lot of interest and basically said, "Come back with a bit of a better DAT." She's about to start writing/calling schools to report her new DAT score.
I'm not asking for a perfect accuracy prediction, but I really wanna show her support and prove that I know what all of these scores and things mean in conjunction with one another. Lastly, for extra context, I could add in some things that she's tacked on between last year's application and this year's. She started to work as an orthodontic assistant last year and averages ~30 hours per week, and she added at least 50-100 hours of volunteer work at an Alzheimer's charity in addition to the two A's in Anatomy.
Sorry if it's a bit long winded. I just really want to be able to understand what all of this means and how I can support her from her on out! Thanks!
