I just took the DAT and here are my scores..

PAT 22 (96.2%)
QR 19 (84.9%)
RC 19 (59.7%...)
BIO 20 (86.9%)
CG 20 (81.3%)
OC 20 (81.3%)
TS 20 (86.2%)
AA 20 (87.1%)

Such generic scores! Do you know if the schools look at the percentiles? I guess my scores aren't too bad but the percentiles aren't looking great.
My current GPA's 3.85 and I'm aiming for Boston U, Case Western etc..
Should I retake it or not? I would appreciate your advice!

I think they're fine scores, if u can maintain ur gpa and apply early, u should be fine.

i'm trying to figure something out here:

this person has very similar score with urs (same TS & AA), why are the percentiles so different!?!?

Those are great scores!....what resources did you use and how long did u study for..? percentiles are always different based on how well everyone else did on the exam that day as well as you.

Those scores are great! I wouldn't retake if I were you. It also depends on where you want to get accepted, your current GPA and how impressive your extra curricular activities are. Good Job

^Actually I'm pretty sure the percentiles are based on people who have taken the same version of the DAT as you in the past, not necessarily on the same day. Might be wrong though. But think about what you said, if you were compared only to the people who took the DAT the same day as you...well it's a pretty small number and this type of measure would be pretty meaningless IMO.
To the OP: I would not retake, your GPA and DAT are both above average. Apply early and make sure your rec letters are great.
