Hi! guys,, I got my DAT score (AA:19,PA:18,QR:19,RC:13,TS:19). As you see, RC score is very low. Do you guys think I have to retake DAT? Actually, I was planning to apply in this May and will retake it several month later. Is this a good plan? I am just afraid of having any risk on my application if I apply like this. What do you think,guys? Really need good advices!!!!!
 
I would go ahead and apply this cycle. Waiting another year is a really long time. Take the DAT over and hopefully you'll do better on the reading comprehensive section. All your other sections are pretty solid. Good luck!

If your GPA is below 3 you better retake and get 22.
Otherwise apply after you graduate, maybe a year from now

apply this year, but for sure try to retake the DAT. your other scores are solid, but a score of 13 is, to be honest, really low. i've spoken to several applicants who were received rejection letters from schools simply because their RC was too low. for example, one particular applicant scored exceptionally well on her DAT (25 QR, 23 TS, etc.) but that pesky RC score was enough to get her the rejection (her rejection letter actually said that she was rejected because of her RC score).
good luck. 👍
