Well... finally finished. I didn't do quite as well as I hoped (Bio & Math were horrible) and did a lot worse on PAT than practice tests but thats life i guess.

Here they are:
PAT 19
QR 17
RC 20
Bio 17
GChem 18
Ochem 17
TS 17
AA 18

I'm applying to MUSC. DAT avg at MUSC is 18/20 so not too far off.
GPA is 3.6 so hopefully I'll get an interview.

Thoughts? Advice?

hey buddy, first off your TS is too low.. people are averaging 20's and if they do have 17, it is in math or in one science section..u have two sciences with 17 so it doesn't look too good. i dunno what MUSC is..so call them up and just apply there. otherwise you will have to retake..i'm sorry... im being really blunt cuz i applied last year with AA18, TS 19 and didn't get in and i don't want u to waste your money..

I do think a 17/18 and a 18/20 is a long was off, its not like a point is 1 question, often times there is a large percentile separating each point.... but who knows what will happen, good luck

18/19 (my real score) is close to 18/20 though... i called the dean of admissions today and he said its a competative score. we'll see what happens...

I'm applying to MUSC too! I take my DAT on the 19th and everything will be done there then. How was the test? Did you think it was really tough? Did you study for it a lot?

I agree, try to apply to a minimum of 7 or so.

hey, i agree with you guys, i'll just be graduating next summer so i won't be too bummed if i don't get in there. I just really would rather go here than other places right now (family friends etc) but if i dont get in this year i'll definately apply to several places
