Hey everyone!
I just took the DAT on the 24th. It went pretty well but I feel like my scores are a little low


AA 19
QR16
RC21
PAT21
Bio19
Gen 19
Orgo 22

It was kind of a bummer with the QR. I got a 22 on a kaplan practice test two days earlier, but I just felt like the real DAT was a little tougher all around in the QR.
2 Question:
1. Do you think these scores are good enough to get in to a school this cycle?
2. Should I risk a retake this coming may before the application deadline to try and bump it up?

My school of choice would be UW. I'm a Washington resident. 3.6 GPA 3.4-3.5 Science GPA

Any input would be great.
Thanks!

Well done,your scores are not great however they are competitve. You should be ok for the 2010 cycle. (Unless the scores continue rising drastically so that a 20 would be average). That probably wont happen this year but in the coming years I wouldnt be surprised if the mean score of acceptance rose to like a 21, esp with them planning on doing away with the QR.

like klutzy said, i definitely think some competitive numbers. good luck for this cycle, i don't know how late it is because I'm not familiar with the application process yet, but you're numbers are solid. a 16 is qr isn't great, but I've heard of people with 14s and 15s getting it. nice job!

what did you use to study? are you applying to any other schools?
