I just took the DAT today and got a 21 TS, 20 AA, but a 17 for PAT and 18 for QR. Are the two teens really going to hurt me?

Thanks

It really depends on which school you want to go to. Some schools (UOP) hold the PAT score in high regard but others do not. Given that you did well in the other sections I wouldn't take it again if I were you.

Good luck

Shouldn't be a problem at Tufts, Indiana, Marquette and Meharry (based on my experience with the same PAT score)

Yup, shouldn't be a problem, I have interviews lined up with Case, Penn and Nova already even with my 17 in PAT.

It shouldn't be a problem, when you get your printout after your DAT they give you the percentile your score was in. Your PAT and QR score should be well above the median percentile.

I took it back in March and had the similar score 21TS, 21AA, 17PAT and yeah 18 for QR. I'm telling you just for the comfort. I'm applying this year too so we'll see how this will go. I hope we both get in somewhere. By the way, we have a similar GPA too 😀
 
ok good. I think I'd die if I had to retake it. I'm applying to uconn, BU, tufts, and buffalo. Does anyone know how important it is for uconn?

we have different school choices =) i'm applying UPenn, Temple, Maryland, UMDNJ, NYU and case. My committe letter process is super slow, haven't sent out yet. I am praying it will be sent out by the end of this month, so right now i'm just trying not to be too anxious. Good luck !!

yeah I kept rushing my school...so now i just have to do my supplements. I was considering applying to UMDNJ, but when i visited it, it seemed a bit too dangerous for me...so yeah. Hopefully both of us will get interviews soon!
