I took the DAT back in June and I thought I did OK in all areas but the QR which I felt like I bombed. I contacted some schools and all of them said that the QR score would not play a big role in the decission making.... However, I didnt tell them the actual score. I just wanted to get some imput. Here's the breakdown:
AA:19
TS:19
BIO:22
GC:17
OC:18
RC:21
PAT:18
QR:13:thumbdown

I was really dissapointed in that QR score and the GC was a liitle lower than expected but I didn't spend too much time looking at the QR, but I did do better than them in the test runs. I don't know if that's too low or should I just go with it? Thanks.

It all depends on what schools you apply to! I think you should be alright as long as your grades are decent! All you can do is wait right!

Contact the schools and tell them your score this time. In my opinion...13 is a bit low. It may not be as important, but that 13 probably pulled your academic average down a lot.

thanks you guys for the insight, I will let them know the score....on some of the websites of schools they say that if you did better in course work then on a specific score on the DAT then it could counter the score, but I guess it all depends on the rest of the application pool to determine my chances.
