retake

Hey, I've been studying for the past 6 months for the DAT for roughly 5-6 hours a day. I am retaking my DAT on April 6th to see if I can bring up my 19/19 score I got in 2015. I'm hoping to score the coveted 21/21 and keep all the scores above 20 at least. Reading the breakdowns on here as...

Hey all, so I'm looking at post-bacc/SMP programs. A lot of the post-baccs I'm looking at are requiring a C or higher in core pre-med courses (i.e, bio, gen chem, etc). Unfortunately, I got a C- one semester of Ochem. The issue is, I've looked for classes offered at my local community colleges...

Hello guys, I'm looking for advice regarding retakes for my DAT score. I prepared very well for my DAT and I'm not embarrassed by any of my scores except one specific section, biology. Here are my scores, Bio 18 GChem 24 Ochem 23 PAT 23 QR 21 RC 21 TS 21 AA 21 When I took my dat, I had only...

Hi all! I graduated from the University of Toronto with an unimpressive GPA (3.13). I wrote the MCAT while taking a course overload, with virtually no preparation, and scored a 503 (63rd percentile). I know that I am capable of a much much better score. I fared quite well on the Psychology &...

I messed up my freshman year. I have really got my ish together since then and this semester(sophomore fall) I got a 3.7GPA. I know it will only go up because I know what I'm doing now. I was thinking about retaking chem 1 next semester and chem 2 fall semester. I was wondering if that would...

Hey, SND Fam, I'm new to the website and I finally figured out how to post a new thread. I have posted these questions elsewhere and have gotten some stellar responses and advice. I deleted most of my posts but the responses are still up. I'm still seeking advice and I hope that this helps...

I got a 505 on the new MCAT. This is the third time I've taken it and each time my score has improved. This cycle I managed to get one interview at the University of Vermont (I was later rejected); I haven't heard back from most of the schools after secondaries, but it's already December. My GPA...

My GPA is currently a 3.89. My research is sort of grunt data collection in a hospital. I have typical clinical hospital volunteering and shadowing. Leadership in several clubs , nonclinical volunteering are "returning back to the community that raised me" themed. Overall, I think I'm a pretty...

I took the DAT in a rush because I was hoping to go straight into dental school. That ended up not working out, and now I have a score of a 19 (academic and overall). The scores are all 18/19/20, nothing wildly high or low. My GPA is about a 3.2 with a science GPA of a 3.0. I am planning...

I got my scores back from the Sep. 10 test today and scored a 499 on it which means I need to retake this thing. I was using Kaplan to study and I find it awesome how they have the higher score guarantee program which means I can basically get all the features back for another go around. The...

Hey guys! So I just got my scores back from the test on 9/9/16 and I was a bit disappointed :( . I was hoping for at least a 512, but I ended up with a 510 (C/P:129 CARS:127 B/BC: 125 P/S:129). I'm currently a senior bio major at a state school, and I'm planning on taking a gap year after I...

So I got my scores back from the Sep. 10 test today and all in all I need to retake this thing. I was using Kaplan to study for the first go around and it is really great how they have the higher score guarantee which means I can basically get all the features back for another go around. The...

I took DAT past week and I wanted to share my insight as 4the time DAT taker.:alien: I have nothing to brag, but I do want to help those who are NORMAL average Joe (This is not for those with AA25 in their Junior year in undergrad with 3.7 sGPA:uhno:) I'm ONLY going to talk about BIOLOGY...

Hi everyone, I took my Animal Science genetics course twice already. The first time I got a D and the second time I got a C-. I know some schools recommend not retaking the same class, but to take a higher level course. I don't know what my options would be as I would ideally like to get the...

Hi all, Need some advice. Graduated from a UC with a science degree. Applied to medical school, had one interview, but was not accepted. I feel fine about everything on my application, save for my GPA. Overall: 3.4 Science: 3.1 I'm taking some time off before applying to MD schools again...

Hi! Fellow retaker here :) I just finished taking the AAMC scored test for the second time (first time in March) and I got a 514 (129,127,129,129). I want to be happy with it but I'm not sure what this score really means as I have already taken it before. I pretty much didn't remember any of...

If this has been answered maybe I'm not bright enough to find the thread, however, I studied hard for the mcat. Got a 502. Got a 508 on the scored AAMC and like 504 on my best Kaplan practice test. It will be about 6 months that I will have gone (or more) before I begin to re-study with the same...

Hello. So my situation is as follows: I was, am, in a Post Bac program. It is a 2 years masters program. I applied to DO schools last year, while I was in my second year of the program, but I sent my applications late due to my loan money coming in much later than they said it would and not...

Hello everyone. After receiving my MCAT score yesterday, my plans were thrown into a bit of confusion. I am in the middle of MD applications and was expecting to do close to my AAMC practice test score of 511. Instead, I received a 504. I have been pondering whether to take the MCAT again in...

I was so hoping I wouldn't be stuck in this position....But now I have no idea how to proceed. I got my MCAT score yesterday and hadn't hit the submit button for primary bc I wanted to see score, not what I anticipated. C/P 129 CARS 125 B/B 124 ( eeekkk) P/S 128 I was shocked as CARS and B/B...

Hi. For people who retook the sample and scored for a second time at least a month after they took it for the first time would you mind posting your retake scores and actual MCAT score. I'm trying to see how it correlated to your real score. A few people (myself including) are wondering...

Hello! I originally took organic chem as a 3 credit hour class during undergrad, and in my DIY postbacc I am retaking it at another 4-year college. However, the course I was looking at is 4 credit hours, not 3. I've seen on other threads that "The credit hours of the new class must be equal to...

So I'm trying to decide if I should retake the MCAT or not. 1st attempt = 488 2nd attempt = 501 (with a two month gap). I know that I could do better on a third try but I am EXTREMELY strapped for cash and I really just want to submit my apps next week. I could make the jump and take it in...

Title says it all. I'm absolutely ecstatic about my MCAT score, but the 124 in cars is a little concerning to me. Here's the breakdown: 130/124/128/130. I have a 3.82 cGPA and my science GPA is just as high. I shouldn't retake the test, right? It won't limit me from getting II's and interviews...

So I have already graduated with all of my dental pre-reqs but I recieved a C- in Gen-chem 106 and Biochem 481. I am looking to retake these two courses but am unsure whether to seek a Community College or a University. Any help/guidance?

Hey everyone, So I just got my MCAT score back today and safe to say I was less than thrilled, particularly by the CARS section.. As a matter of fact I was shocked as it was consistently my best section during the practice exams. Either way I need to decide if I should apply outright, or take...

I have a low science gpa (the above is calculated with the AACOMAS methodology) and a low cumulative gpa but a pretty good MCAT score. Definite upward trend in my grades over four years and I performed especially well this past year with all A's or B+'s. If all the clinical...

Hey guys, first post but I've been lurking about for a while and found lots of great advice here so far, I have kind of a unique question about my transcript. I received an A in an introductory theology class at my university in the US. Later on, I did study abroad in Peru, which had a...

Hi everyone, I took my DAT 2 years ago and got a 17AA. I've been studying to retake it August 2 or July 28. First question, does it matter which of these days I take it? Second, should I submit my app before August so I can get the supplemental apps out of the way? Will schools look at my app...

Just got my April 23rd scores back! Breakdown: 128 chem/phys 121 cars 125 bio 128 pysch/soc Total: 502 Currently thinking about a retake July 22. That will give me roughly 8 weeks or 2 months till test day. Planning on applying this cycle Fall 2017 admissions. Will need to focus on...

Hello I was going to repeat some pre-req courses at a Community College but just discovered that UC schools do not allow repeating passed courses and may show up as "unauthorized repeat." So, I was wondering how bad can retaking may look upon by ADcom and Pharmcas personnel - if they have a way...

I just finished my 4th semester and it did not go to well. My GPA dropped from 3.50 to a 3.42. Physics kicked my butt and I finished with a B-. The frustrating part was that I felt it was a class I could have done much, much better in. I had an o-chem exam every day before my physics exams...
