DAT Advice - UW in particular

[Rustik]

Members don't see this ad.

I'm hoping to get some advice from ya'll.

I am a Washington resident hoping to go to to the University of Washington, but I also applied to 13 other schools (OHSU, Arizona, UPENN, UCONN, UNC, Tufts, Temple, UCLA, UCSF and others).

Here are some of my stats:
DAT
TS 22
AA 21
RC 18
PAT 17
QR 19

GPA 3.9

I have some pretty good extracurricular, volunteer, shadowing, etc.

My question is in regards to my DAT scores, specifically my PAT and RC. I've contemplated retaking to bring those scores up, but I am not sure.

I would really appreciate some advice if I should retake or not, especially anyone familiar with UW admissions.

Thank you

You have super solid TS, and GPA! Plus retaking to improve RC is always a tricky thing because its really random... (I think).

You have solid scores, and have a great shot of getting in. I am also a Washington resident, and am hoping to get in as well. I hope we are classmates next year! 👍

You are going to make the first cut. I wouldn't retake. Focus on secondaries.

You are getting into UW.

You are getting into UW.

It's really hard to say. I've heard of people getting rejected from UW with higher scores than this. It's all about the interview now.

Why would you apply to OHSU they never take WA people. Like maybe 1 every couple of years. But I think you will get an interview no problem. Good luck and hopefully see you there!( UW also my #1)

They are big on community service, shadowing, and leadership. My buddy got in and he told me that was what he thought really stood out with the adcoms there. They are also very big on Diversity as well.
