Notes: I am a re-applicant. My previous DAT score was 19 AA, 19 TS, 17 Bio, 19 Chem, 21 Orgo, 18 QR, 20 RC, and 23 PAT. I applied in November (don't even want to get into why that happened), and I had about 56 hours of shadowing. I received one C in Ecology cause my professor had a pinus strobus up his rear when he graded exams. Same semester I withdrew from Biochem cause I honestly couldn't understand my professor's Asian accent. Retook bio chem next semester after outlining the textbook myself, got an A-.
