Overall I feel pretty good about it, I just wish my chems were a point or 2 higher. I just graduated and work full time, so I really didn't study much, but I know people will want to know what I used and a little rundown so here ya go:
-Bio- Barron's AP Bio 2007 (I read through it cover to cover once), and Destroyer (once). There were some crazy random questions that I never even thought to study but not too bad overall.
-GC- Kaplan red book from 2003, half of Destroyer. About half my test was computations and half was concepts, again not too bad. Lots on LeChatliers principle.
-OC- Half of Kaplan red book, half of Destroyer. I honestly thought this section was ridiculously easy, but I guess not. Only about 5 of them were predict the product, the rest we conceptual.
-PAT- CDP. My scores on CDP were 23, 21, 20, 20, 24. I thought keyholes, cubes, and patterns were harder on the real DAT but angles, TFE, and hole punching were all a lot easier than CDP.
-QR- Didn't study at all or ever take a practice test. I had about 7 minutes left so I didn't have a time crunch at all. They were mostly word problems but not bad. A lot of crazy exponent questions that I just guessed on and moved on.
-RC- Didn't study or practice at all. Started off reading but the passages were so boring that I couldn't handle it anymore and switched to search and destroy. Absolutely no tone questions.
So now let's talk about my chances, which I don't feel too great about. My GPA is kind of misleading so first I'll break it down by year:
Freshman - 0.654 (yes you read that right)
Sophomore - 2.956
Junior - 3.580
Senior - 3.404
On my transcript I have a 3.4 due to retakes, but since AADSAS sucks and doesn't care about retakes, I'll be applying with a 2.84 overall and 2.81 science👎. Yeah, ouch. I am hispanic and a Nevada resident, so I'm hoping for UNLV. I didn't have many extracurriculars because I worked 40 hours a week while I was take 15 credits a semester year round all through school, but there are a few. I ended up with 55 hours shadowing and got some good LOR's. Anyway, any input you guys would like to throw at me would be great, thanks!
