Retook my DAT today and these are my scores:

First attempt: AA18. TS19. Bio19. Orgo 19. GC 19. RC 16. QR 18. Pat 20
Second attempt: AA19. TS20. Bio19 Orgo 21 GC20 RC16 QR17 PAT19

English is my second language so I am having trouble with reading. What do you guys think of my chances of getting in this cycle? I applied to NYU, Boston, Tufts, UConn, UF, LECOM, Rutgers, and Temple.

Thanks for your help!
 
The RC is the biggest problem. I'd have applied to more schools (like USC, MW-IL, Roseman, Western, Touro, etc), but it's probably too late to do that for this cycle.
 
I have a 3.5 GPA, 200+ hours of shadowing and 150+ hours of volunteering.
So then everything else in your application is pretty solid. You definitely have a chance. I wish you the best of luck and if none of the schools you applied to work out, then retake the DAT one last time after studying as hard as you possibly can and you’ll have a great shot next cycle. You probably should have applied to more schools, but it is what it is. As mentioned above, don’t lose hope!

Exactly what he said, just focus more on RC this time around since that's what is hurting your application the most right now.
 
Hey! Congrats on the awesome DAT score! Just curious, do you remember if you happened to come across any trigonometry or geometry?

Not that I remember. But every dat can be quite different so I would suggest you still be prepared for any trig of geometry problems.
