Those are great scores. 20's across the board someone will take note. Work on building up the rest of your application. Good EC's, LORs, and essay and you should get a few interviews.
 
Hell of a score..... great job. How long did you study for? What did you use to study? Any suggestions?
 
Congratulations those are really good scores.
how did you prepare for the test???
 
yeah, ill take some advice from the OP......those scores are awesome to say the least!
 
I used quite a lot of sources, but organize it.
I studied 11 hrs a day which drove me insane but i kept myself focus. during that time i just eat, sleep and study and check SDN forum. I really prepared this time. it was my 2nd time taking the test, well i did really bad last time which also lose my confident, but it took time to rebuild and beside i found this Forum WHICH IS GREAT>>>thanks to you all. I need to leave some stuffs back, that's the least i can do.

PAT: this section was hard for me at first. I used DAT achiever and Topscore, Kaplan..anything that involved in Perception. Some time i cut out paper and make shapes which was a waste of time but it helped.😀

Ochem: I just used DAT destroyer and textbook sources and did all the problems that involved in Ochem, both in DAT practice and textbook(not all but enough for you to understand and get a good cribs)

QR:wow..i have to admit i still do good in math. i use Course I,II, and III. (do problems in there but not all, again just enough to get a good feeling, and also build up your confident).I also do DAT test practice.

GChem: I also used DAT destroyer and read textbook, do problems and soo..also i took notes. i didn't do much calculation, but just to get a general idea and concepts.

RC: this section is the most difficult topic for me since English is my 2ndary language. But lucky i read stuffs in my neuroscience project and still remember few things....Beside these stuffs are related to physiology which i love the most in all science topic.

Well, i have few things to say, i found that kaplan is quite useful in such way that it gives you an idea and recalls your general stuffs. After that i hit the big stuffs like textbook and other sources. i save all the DAT practice problems later. PAT, i studied last because you can't remember this stuffs, it just learned, i don't know why when you practice enough you just getting it...Like how muscles work i guess, onces you do it a lot you just learn it. Well that's all i can do. Good luck to you all who are going to take DAT.
 
Damn, those scores are nice! With those scores your GPA should take less notice. If you write out a great personal statement and have great extracurriculars and leadership experience then your GPA will take even less notice. Congratulations!
Now go concentrate on perfecting your personal statement!
 
Actually I have an advice for you. I am in a similar situation in a sense that I also have mediocre GPA but a pretty decent DAT score. Make sure you appply to schools that favor high DAT score such as Columbia and UoP.

Those are great scores, not many people have scores like that. Don't worry about your GPA, it is fine with scores like that. The DAT is the key component in all of this. Your GPA will be taken with a grain of salt.

The people who should worry are those with 3.5-3.8 GPA's and 16 and 17s on the DAT. What is wrong with that picture ?

Good Luck and Congratulations !!!
