First of all, congratulations on your scores! Third cycle looks like it will be the charm!

Secondly, on a less fortunate note, sorry to hear that Spain lost the confed cup :-/

hahahah I know.. But now I am very excited to see Neymar and Messi play together.. Go barca!
 
True, that will be nuts. They need to get some height on their attack too though you know??
 
congrats on the new scores ... what resources did you use for RC ?

ps.Barca needs a new tall defender ! Not an attacker 😀
 
Congrats on the new scores. Relax and take it easy for the rest of the summer. I agree that We need a new defender for Barca... not another attacker. How do you think pep will do with Bayern?

TRUE THAT....... lol

I read two to three articles from scientific american, or new scientist everyday before I started studying. Some of the article were actually very interesting and I improved my overall reading speed. Also, I got better at reading on a computer screen. After a while, I got better at retaining the information and summarizing the paragraphs in the back of my mind without even knowing.

To perfect my strategy, I started with CDR, then moved onto Godfrey, then achiever. If I were to do it again I dont think I would use Godfrey and ahiever. Topscore and Qvault is a must in my opinion. Length AND number of SD questions was right in between Qvault and topscore.

Thank you!
I wish him the best at bayern. but how can you do better than what they have accomplished this year... I am a little concerned for him but it will be interesting to watch. I think Thiago silva would be perfect for us..
 
I love this football/soccer talk! He's leaving a great team for another great team, but who's the defender that left? I haven't kept up with barca overly much this offseason. And to keep it within sdn, sick scores! Again lol
 
hi, do you mind posting your practice scores? Did you do anything differently the second time you study? And what else did you really do to improve your RC? Where are the places that you can read find scienctific journals to read? I have done practice with Top score and i find the gen chem too heavy in calculations. In the real test, the calculations are that heavy as well?
 
Just out of curiosity whats was your GPA when you got rejected? Grats on your scores BTW! 😀
 
Congrats on the scores!! Wishing you the very best. It's nice to see an improvement on the RC. I also took a break from o.chem studying to see the game 😀

I only had couple calculations on the exam. It focused more on concepts🙂 hope his helps
 
Just out of curiosity whats was your GPA when you got rejected? Grats on your scores BTW! 😀

3.3;;; hahah yea its kind of low. gpa was 3.8 up to sophomore year. then everything started going wrong....... academic probation with 1.8 junior year. and blah blah blah
 
Hey man congrats on those scores! Looks like you're all set up for next cycle.

I see things referring to the RC section like SD, application and tone questions. Can you explain that to me? I'm new to the forum and don't have all the acronyms down. Also, so you just read articles from Scientific American to improve your abilities? That sounds like a good way to go for me if you think it worked for you.

i private messaged you!
 
I can't believe schools rejected you when you applied. Scores from yoir first exams looked decent. What schools did you apply to? What is your GPA? Your scores looked good enough to get in.

I applied to mostly oos friendly private schools. tufts, bu, nyu, usc, etc.. gpa is a little low:3.3 It also doesnt help that I am Korean... lol..
 
Great job and good score. I was wondering if you can still access to chads videos. I am shy to ask but can I use them bcz I can't afford buying them. If not thanks either way. Again congrats
 
I agree with Biomolecmed. I just do not believe them when those schools did not accept you. You GPA is good enough. They are playing games here. Good luck dude. If you can, apply to different schools.

is it possible you got rejected because of the significant drop in your GPA and not the DAT? If you didnt get in with a 21 the first then I might be effed lol
 
Congrats on your scores!! They're great, you give me hope lol.

I'm thinking maybe you're not getting accepted the first time may be due to possibly applying late? Did you apply early on in the cycle or later?

You can access them for 30 days for $50 i think? maybe cheaper. That's the entire DAT section. Lot cheaper if you just need a particular section.
 
lol. Dude, I doubt being Korean is a disadvantage. I just think that they placed someone they know in your spot. This sucks. You did well and I believe you deserved an acceptance letter.
