if you had a bad gpa (less then 3.0) i'd say you are **** out of luck for this year, but considering you have a high gpa you should not worry anout the pat too much. just rem that some colleges have an automatic cuf off like UOP. you might wnat to add a few schools so that you get in this years.

are you thinking of retaking the DAT?

what schools you are applying to? Some schools give more weight yo PAT and RC. If that is the case then you might have to retake the DAT. my 2 cents.

Check with the schools you applied to see if they have a minimum requirement. For example, I know OHSU won't accept anything less than a 15 on any section. UOP claims they want atleast 20's across the board. Awesome science and RC scores and best of luck to you.
