Dat 7/18

[quocstazz]

Hey guys, just finished with the dat today. This is my second time taking the exam.

First:
Pat: 22
QR: 17
RC: 19
BIO: 16
GC: 22
OC: 21
TS: 19
AA: 19

Second:
Pat: 24
QR: 19
RC: 15
BIO: 26
GC: 24
OC: 21
TS: 23
AA: 21

I am grateful for my scores but I'm really worry about my reading comprehension. I don't think I'll be able to get in to my dream school at UCLA since they put emphasis on RC for second language speaking applicants.

I am a California applicant. My gpa is 3.87 with 3.91 in science with 2 years research experience and around 800 hrs of community services and 150 shadowing. Please let me know what my chances are or which school should i discontinue from applying to.

(UCLA)
(AZ)
(BU)
(CASE)
(IND)
(MWU)
(MIZZ)
(NYU)
(USN)
(TUF)
(BUF)
(UCSf
(UL)
(UNLV)
(PENN)
(PITT)
(USC)
(UOP)
(WESTU)

I will have a break down when I'm at a computer.

How did u improve your bio score so much? great job btw!

How did u improve your bio score so much? great job btw!

when i took my first DAT, i only finished with biol 1 and 2. But within the past year, I had the opportunity to take Biochemistry, microbiology, genetic, immunology and those definitely help.

Nonetheless, I came up with a way to memorize things on biology that can help retain information so much better. if enough people are interested I will make a separate thread to explain it since.

cheers

lets not jump to conclusions.

Your entire application is very impressive EXCEPT the RC section, a 15 might hurt your chances with a large portion of school. Many schools highly value the RC section. You should call a few schools and see if they might overlook your more recent RC score with the previous score, if so, then it might not be as big of an issue ( idk how many school take your highest scores from each section).

thats not good... i dont think i can retake and do as well in my science

 

[tomhrxbfg]

eh 15 may be a bit low...maybe do a retake?...But of course ask the schools about how they will think towards low RC. Best of luck

I dont think you have to retake yet. But i think you should call a few schools to get an idea of where you are at. The fact you got a 19 in RC in the first attempt might help overlook your poor performance on the second attempt.

I was wondering how reliable the answers might be since they might say yes and agree to overlook but probably won't remember who i am.
