This was my second time taking the DAT.

[DaToothFairy444]

well it probably wouldn't pay for me to retake it this cycle bc I have to wait 90 days from today

i have a friend who re-took it in december and starting receiving a lot of post-dec interviews after updating them with his new dat score. so i mean it could be worth it!

Your scores are literally like the average accepted score(s) ! Amazing, that is not easy to get.

What state are you from? Just curious

Your gpa is really good, above average.

I think your personal statement will have to be the tie breaker in your case....

19 schools.... I think at least 3-5 interviews.... But do plan to retake!

I have similar dat scores. I am retaking in September .

You'll be fine. I got the same AA and PAT but lower cGPA, higher sGPA, fewer shadowing hours and volunteering hours. I applied to 12 in mid-August but technically only 10, got 3 interviews and 1 acceptance.

Thank you for your response. I am from Louisiana. Doesn't look like I'll be getting into LSU bc word is they don't extend interviews if score is less than 19

Thanks hannah! I remember you from the Roseman thread and was very excited when I saw you had gotten an acceptance!

Average DAT is closer to 20 (19.9) according to ADEA 2015 book and Doc Toothache's excel sheet.

 

[I want to go to there]

Low and even if you get lucky and get in, it most likely won't be at a good school, retake the DAT.

Would you mind sending me a DM of where you got interviews / accepted?

What schools did you applied to? And which gave you your interviews/acceptance?

Hey guys, I applied to:
1. MWU-AZ (just because it's in-state to make my parents happy but I hate the heat here.)
2. ASDOH (#stupiddecision just because it's in-state but since I only have 80-100 hours and the students there usually have hundreds or thousands of hours, I didn't want to waste money on the secondary fees.)
3. MWU-IL (Interviewed + accepted)
4. University of Colorado (Interviewed + Rejected - I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I'm from AZ and they take a few students from WICHE states every year. It was my first interview so I bombed it pretty badly).
5. Roseman (Interviewed + Waitlist - the waitlist is freaking huge, so glad I got an acceptance from another school)
6. Nebraska (don't really know why - I guess I was into da Midwest theme thang a few months ago.)
7. Kentucky (reason: see above)
8. MOSDOH (#stupiddecision because I applied to ASDOH so I thought why not MOSDOH?)
9. University of Utah (#ignorantdecision I did not really research the ADEA guide book before making the list and this school is super out-of-state unfriendly + high stats.)
10. Case Western (just because it's one of those private schools and I did not have other choices with my average/low stats.)
11. University of Iowa (my stats are lower for the school.)
12. One more school maybe in the middle of Midwest but I can't remember.

A lot of schools (half or more) on this list I would not apply to if I had to do it over again. To save more money and maximize your chance, the ADEA guide book ($10) and SDN are the most useful tools.
