Apply with 18AA? or Retake

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I am no expert in this but from reading lots of breakdowns and advice people gave out,
you might want to retake it as your TS and AA are slightly lower than avg or about average, and because of those 15 and 16.

If you can really stand out with your GPA and your EC's and personal statement, I think you still stand a chance, but if you are not a super-stellar applicant,
retake would help you a lot!
 
Definitely retake. Many schools have a cutoff of 16 or 17. I believe that a few weeks spent with Math Destroyer will raise your QR to at least a 19. Did you use Chad's videos and Destroyer? If you watch his videos, take detailed notes, take his online quizzes a few times and do Destroyer twice, you should have no problem getting a 20+ in both GC and OC next time. This should be enough to raise your AA and TS to at least a 20
 
I am in literally the same boat as you my friend. Your scores are nearly identical to my first DAT. I will be retaking mine in a week. I would advise you retake. It might be a question of what resources you used. Which did you use? I was pretty upset after I got my first DAT score but I knew I wanted to try again. After forcing myself to grind through destroyer 3 times I feel like I could conquer the world!

I used chad and destroyer but Im going to have to repeat them bc i only did them once.
I'll get the Math Destroyer for QR.
Thank you!!
 
You need to go through chad's GC and OC questions up untill you get 95% of them right on the first pass. Also I went through destroyer 2-3 times. The few days before test I am only going to review the problems I circled.

Any advice for bio?

You will get screened out by certain schools for scores below 17 in some cases. If your GPA is 3.5+ you'll still have a shot somewhere, but I would just retake since you still have time.
 
Hey. Yout Bio and OC scores a good. However, you need to retake because scores in other sections pull you down. Make sure you study Destroyer, Kaplan or CrackDAT several times and go over that very carefully. You will pick up lots of info.

Math destroyer is really solid preparation material for QR and Chad's video is golden for gen chem. Chad's ochem is not as good and to the point as gen chem is, but still a good review for people.
