AA16 is just WAYYYYYY TOO LOW. Some schools don't have minimum cut-off, but alot of schools do. Even 16 on a single section can knock you right off the list, but AA being 16 is a bit of problem... I've been some getting in with 16AA according to the official guide, but I assume they must have had a really high GPA with tremendous extracurriculum.

Thanks for your reply

So, I just took my DAT this month, if I would retake it, the earliest I can would be in november.. Do you think if I contacted the schools I applied to and let them know that I will retake my test, they would would wait for the new scores, or I have already lost my chance in this cycle????

Also, I only applied to Howard and UMD , do you think I should add more schools to increase my chance???

First off, November is too late, especially with your stats.
If you are applying whether this cycle or next cycle, you should probably think about 15 schools

So, I really have no hope this cycle 🙁

I mean I don't want to say it like that because you really never know what is going to happen. I'm not an adcom so..
I have 3.3 oGPA 3.2sGPA with 19AA 20TS 22PAT and I applied to 22 schools and I feel hopeless too.

Your scores are good thou, I'm pretty sure you will get in somewhere..you know I met with couple of D1 AND D4 Students at HU ,and they had like 2.8 and 2.9 GPA and their DAT score was not that high either, one of them said it was like 16 Or 17....sometime I get hope but than when i see all the other people who applied with really high scores... I feel so down

Howard? They give high preferences to minorities (Hispanic/Black). Are you one of them?

I'm African

 

[Jamela24]

The D1 STUDENT WAS WHITE

Oh! make sure you add Meharry and Howard to your list and I would apply broadly to private schools. You might have a shot since you are considered a minority. Meharry and Howard really try to help URM
