Awesome scores! You have nothing to worry about. You will get into many schools. Just curisous, what did u get the first time?
 
This is my first DAT


AA 21

Ochem 18
Gchem 21
Tot Sci 19

I retook it because of the reading...and...tot sci..

I am little bit relieved hearing you guys say that I don't have to worry...

Thank you for your posts.
 
Dentistry321,

Did you apply last year and have a problem getting in with your previous numbers?? I would think your first numbers would do the job. You had a 21/19/19 a respectable score.

Your 2nd scores are great BTW 🙂
 
Did he ever say he applied last year?

If he did then there is a good lesson in that... Those first DAT scores were just fine, yet he STILL didn't get in anywhere.

Those of you who think you are shoe-ins may have another thing coming to you.

In any event, it's cool that the 2nd scores were higher than the first. Both scores are great and nothing to be ashamed of.
 
I hope to god his first DAT wasn't the reason he didn't get accpeted if he did apply. I got a 21/17 and i am kinda of scared.

u did well on dat :clap: :clap:

which school did u apply to? have you got any interviews yet?
LIke other people, I am also interested the reason y you got denied. Want to make sure I didnt make the same mistake

thx for sharing
 
I took my 2nd DAT because of the low score on Reading, and I heard that this year is the most competitive.
about 8000 people are applying this year.. which is way over last year's 6000 ish...


I am satisfied because I took the risk of taking the DAT again and got an improved score. But I am also worried because my GPA is low....

I looked at the "STAT2004" in this forum , and most of the people got really high scores and gpa.


so..i am crossin' my finger and tappin' the wood.
