Your GPA should compensate. I would've aimed for at least a 19 for the averages but you might be able to slip through because of the 3.6

Retake. LSU prefers all sections over 18. Found that on their website when considering applying there as well.

You should probably retake but your only ugly section is math haha! Pm me if you want any math help I love math and it's easy and fun for me lol.

oh thank you.. you will not believe that Maths is my favorite subject, so I ignored it and did not prepare myself and I was so behind with the time..

Math is my favorite too! It's all about speed as the problems are really quite elementary haha

I have a friend who had sections below 18 and got an interview at LSU. His AA was 20. That means that they must not stick to the no sections below 18. Most schools completely over look math. I just got an interview to Memphis UT with below scores. there is hope! p.s. with you being a mother i'm sure that will make you stand out in your Personal S.

3.8 science GPA 3.7 overall. (also if you have to retake next cycle if you didn't use Chads videos for chemistry you should next time) I'm 31 so i think that played a roll. Memphis said they prefer students our age because we are more mature and are usually good students/dentist. (during my interview)

also, some people aren't aware that LSU does chalk carvings at the interviews. FYI

Here it is straight from LSU's website

A competitive score on the DAT is considered to be an academic average of 21 with no score lower than 19. The mean academic average for entering freshmen is 21.
