I'm really curious about this. I never thought that an 18 would be considered a bad score. I mean i got an 18AA/19TS/22PAT...the 16 in the QR killed me. My gpa: 3.47 cum/3.37 BCP and sGPA (both low...but strong from marketed improvement over a 3 yr span). Somehow i've managed to get 5 interviews...ok well 3 that i've already had and 2 scheduled for the near future. However, just checkin out this site, and predents.com it looks like everyone being interviewed is killing me numerically....does the fact that i've already gotten interviews mean i'm just as likely to be accepted as the rest of these people come dec 1st? or am I Just the token "low man on the totem pole" for an adcom to interview haha? what a mess...good luck to everyone not a nervous wreck

Same thing has happen to me!! Got 5 interviews too and same stats but maybe a little lower in some areas...I think it's the unique EC's....Good luck and if your sane of course you'll be accepted...😉

ya'll forgot the other half of the game...your gpa! some schools will look at your gpa more than your dat scores....like louisville. This school's stats is 3.6gpa and 18DAT 17PAT. I'm confident that if you have 3.6 and 18DAT, great extracurriculum activities, and you're a great talker at the interviews you'll get in. Check it out on predents for yourself.

if your sane ...😉

And isn't that just the kicker to the whole equation... A 4.0/30 doesn't mean squauk if you can't function around other people.

I agree that it is not impossible to get in with an 18 or even a 17 for that matter. But is sure is harder and a much longer drawn out process that can be very humbling. Especially if you go to school with 20+ 'ers who have interviews all over the place and can choose where to attend while you get accepted in May.

Hang in there if you have an average DAT score. 👍
