Hi, I was wondering if anyone can give any advise on if I should retake my DAT or just apply with current scores? How likely would I be accepted if I apply this upcoming cycle in June 2018?
My DAT scores are PAT-19 QR-18 RC-17 Biol-27 GC-21 OC-23 TS-24 AA-21. I know my science scores are really good, but I'm worried about my PAT, QR, and RC especially the 17 with reading. The only problem with retaking it is that I think my science scores are the best I can get so if I retake it, I would not be able to get those scores. Also, my reading skills has always been lacking so even if I improve I think the best I could do is a 20. Do they look at the individual reading score at lot? I got both A's with my 2 freshmen English classes, but I took the 2nd English class online. Do they look down on that?
My science and overall GPA is 3.94. However, I only have 35 hours of shadowing so far but I will continue to shadow over the summer. I currently have 80 volunteer hours and am one of the humanitarian officer for my school's pre-health association. I am also in a research lab for 1.5 years and going get a tutor job next semester. I am going to graduate early (in 3.5 years) with a biology degree next Fall. The school that is my first choice is UNLV because it is the only in-state school for me. Also, I'm considering University of Pacific too. Please let me know your thoughts! Thanks!
