Hey guys,

I just took my test and got...
Bio: 18
Orgo: 24
Chem: 21
RC: 17
QR: 21
PAT: 21
Science: 20
Academic: 20

Now, my extracurricular sucks, but my GPA (at a pretty good school) is pretty high (above 3.8).
Should I retake the test??? 😕
the thing is i'm afraid i'll get a lower score and look bad
AND i just want to get the DAT done with. (no more time to study either)

congratulations, you are in good shape apply early. you will be set.
good luck 👍
 
Yeah you are fine. Just sit back, get your LOEs and you are good, though I would try to do some volunteering from now till June. Wish I had your GPA...
 
I agree with the previous posts. You should be good to go with a 20AA and a 20TS. A couple of those (RC and Bio) are on the edge but with a GPA like that and an above average DAT you should be fine! 😎
 
no need for a retake ... you are in great shape with those marks and your GPA
 
agreed with everyone else, early application and you should be alright. i do definitely recommend doing some volunteering if possible. if you're applying for fall 2010 you got some time to get some volunteering done. go for shadowing first though i would say.

good luck rest of the way. keep us posted. what did you use to study? destroyer, kaplan, cliffs?
 
i studied kaplan for about a week right before the test. (that's basically all the studying i did for the test)

i should retake the test huh? after studying some....
 
if i were in your shoes, i pbb retake. 17 RC is too low... isnt that pretty close to 17 percentile?

Did you even read the comments to your post? 😕

You should go to your local American Red Cross and volunteer for 20 hours a week. And learn to read
 
do people like this ask for aretake to boost their confidence? when you get your results you get the percentiles, i am confused as to why people with scores like this ask for a retake especially if he has a 3.8. this kids a tool

no need to bash him...
 
some people on this forum need to be kicked off their high horses and brought back to reality. if someone posts their scores have some freakin consideration and respect. some people just have a huge stick up their a**.
