Hey guys,
I took my DAT 7/14 and and didn't do as well as I wanted to. I studied hard but time was a big factor for me... also I think my test was just really difficult. Anyway, I have an overall 3.5 gpa and a 3.3 science & BCP GPA. My application was mailed 3rd batch and schools are just waiting on my DAT scores. What do you guys think of my chances? I have very strong LOE/many extracurriculars/research etc. Very strong personal statement as well. Thank you!

I don't see any reason why you can't get at least 1 acceptance

I think you have a chance...At least everything is over 17...Do you have a lot of volunteer hours and shadowing hours?

Good luck to you! Hopefully we'll be hearing good news soon. It just sucks having an AA right below 20.

Haha welcome to the club and good luck. Nice PAT score. I honestly thought I was going to score much higher on the PAT... I finished it with ten minutes to spare and thought it was pretty easy. 😡

👍 There is much more to this than just stats. All we can hope for is interviews, then we can SHINE
