with a higher GPA like yours schools are going to expect higher DAT scores, it might tell the schools that the school you attended gives out a lot of easy A's. Usually its very difficult to get an interview if any of your scores are below 17. I would definitely consider retaking the DAT to get a higher math and reading score. the rest of the sections are average. best of luck!

The two 15s and 17 AA will hurt you. Plus, with your GPA, they might infer some sort of grade inflation at your school. I'd retake to give yourself the chance you deserve.

I personally had RC15 and was told that it was the reason for me to be denied. Applied to 9 schools with zero interviews and this cycle I applied with RC19. Also, I think by applying last cycle I learned a great deal of lessons that improved my application this time. Good luck!

Schools will likely not accept it due to your high GPA- this is a case of grade inflation. You can try to apply with these scores, but to give yourself the best possible shot of getting in without having to reapply, you should retake. Be sure to look in the DAT disc forum for breakdowns on how others studied so you could implement their tips and tricks. Good luck!

I visited University of Michigan and one of the seniors at the time told me he got int with a 17AA. It’s possible, but not highly probable to get in.

Sorry Igk5 but I think you should retake it and apply again next cycle.
