I just took the exam today and unfortunately I got the FRAP version. English is not my first language and It's been 4 years since I start studying in US. (but I have a US citizenship). I'm a Illinois resident and my first choice is UIC. RC has been always my weakest area among all the sections and I was hoping to get at least 17 on RC. Oh well it's over,

Here's my scores:

PAT: 21 (93.9%)
QR: 18 (74.1%)
RC: 15 (8.9%)
Bio: 23 (97.9%)
GC: 25 (97.5%)
OC: 21 (87.6%)
TS: 23 (98.3%)
AA: 20 (85.1%)

as you can see, because of my horrible RC score( I don't blame FRAP version), do you guys think I should retake it? Where can I find a list of schools that have cutoff scores for DAT? Do you guys think I have a chance? My GPA is 3.66 and Science GPA is 3.81. I applied end of May and I'm just waiting my official DAT score to be sent. I'm going to post my practice scores (topscore and acheiver) and materials I used to study later tonight. really tired .. thanks and any inputs will be helpful!!!

Good job! I doubt that there is a list of schools with cutoff. Just call your favorite schools and ask if they have any cutoff.

So, were you born here, but grew up in your native country? I'm just curious because I thought you need about 10 years (5 for Permanent Resident, 5 for naturalization) to become citizen.

 

[sessllh]

yea, I was born here but I went back to Korea when I was 5. Came back 4 years ago. haha,,

 

[Bruinlove]

I knew you are Korean cuz I'm Korean. lol

 

[mddang]

mmmm... Korean bbq... yummmmmmmm


Awesome scores (except for rc)

 

[doc3232]

Top schools might cut you off, but I am sure not all schools will...As long as you prepare to speak english very fluently in your interview, adcoms might ignore your RC score...I am just guessing. 🙂
Nice scores though.
I would apply, I feel you would have a big chance in getting in.

You should be ok. You only have 1 bad grade. Otherwise solid scores. Get your app in early and you will be ok. Congrats.
