So to begin with, these are my scores.....(prepare yourselves)

Perceptual ability 17 (52.4%)---I don't know what happened here
Quantitative Reasoning 16 (52.3%) ---wasn't expecting much
Reading Comprehension 16 (17.1%) ----this is the most painful, I swear I can read. Sleep deprivation led to this.
Biology 20 (87.4%)
General Chemistry 20 (80.9%)
Organic Chemistry 19 (73.9 %)

TS 20 (85.8%)
AA 18 (63.2%)

GPA: 3.7 (psyhology major)
Science GPA: 3.7

Question: What are my chances??? I'm really scared that I won't get in this cycle because of RC and QR. I've applied to Tufts, UConn, Boston University, and Case Western Reserve (I'm going to add more schools today). Since I only had 2 hours of sleep the day before (anxiety), I performed very poorly on the 3 last sections. What do you guys think? Should I aim for a retake or wait until next cycle?

Are you looking for reassurance? Because those scores aren't as bad as you're making them out to be. Did you expect 29's on every section?

Why don't you do yourself a favor and call the schools...because the opinions on this forum don't matter. The school's opinion does matter.

^lol

Dont worry man the scores arent that bad - you are freaking out but you have a great GPA - just apply and see what happens. Why wait?

haha loser, stick to psychology, and leave dentistry for the real science majors.

you are not so bad off...definitely dont sweat your science scores are solid, its just the PAT QR and RC that need some work. dont listen to those other posts, if this is what you want to do, go for it. That could mean you may have to retake the exam, but again if this is what you want to spend the rest of your life doing then its worth the effort and the pain to retake. You def got past the hard parts, just keep everything fresh and make sure to do a lot of extra practice on the sections that need some improvement and im sure youll be fine
