Congrats on the very large improvement...however....the RC is extremely important. I don't know how admissions will look at it...but its extremely important. I think other sdn'ers can shed some light on it...


Anyways, I know how you feel. I freaked out during my PAT section, and it killed me. Even though I got a (20) there was a period of time where I just was like OMG OMG OMG and then your mind just goes blank and you either A)Crash and burn or B) Calm down and recover.

For the people looking for tips: just know that you will probably freak out. But it's ok CALM down. It will save your life. Don't tihnk about WHAT IF. JUST calm down and recover. Period.

If you aren't aiming for top-tier schools, you should be okay.. I think.

RC is very important though, they are considered right after AA > TS > RC for most schools.

chad's quizzes and supplemental material good enough for the gchem portion of the DAT?

Just from my experience I was told by a couple of schools that my 16 in RC kept me out of schools. My sciences were 21 gchem 21 ochem and 22 bio but even with this I had to retake. But i am sure you will get in somewhere just don't be picky on your schools and dont be surprised if you get in off a waitlist.

@kevinrho-I would say yes but i probably felt more prepared because of destroyer. I was able to apply what i learned in CHADs by doing the problems in destroyer.

Thanks! Everything else you did quite well on. Just apply cross your fingers and hopefully one school will take you and the rest of us in =).
