Thank god this day is over..

Here are my scores:

PAT 20 (87%)
QR 16 (50.9%)
RC 17 (25.7%)
BIO 20 (85.5%)
GC 19 (70.7%)
OC 19 (73.6%)
TS 19 (73.6%)
AA 18 (60.7%)

They gave 2 yellow laminated papers (markers were thin so dont worry, its not as bad)

BIO - HARD as hell!!! nothing i have seen before!! very strange questions.. some of them i had no idea how to answer.. studied with kaplan, DAT destroyer.. there are stuff that are not covered in any of the prep books that i studied.. trully was difficult for me.

Gen Chem - lots of concepts.. know the destroyer IN and OUT.. basic calculations, just set ups..

Orgo - one reaction i havent seen before.. straightforward overall.. know the destroyer and you'll be fine..

Math - KILLER!!! destroyer is not enough for this section.. had mostly word problems.. no permutation/combination.. no circles or pythogorean triplets.. very very difficult... practice practice practice.. it was my strongest subject..

Reading - very difficult passages... lots of tone questions.. basically whatever ppl have been saying on this forum..

PAT - it was alright.. thought i'll get around 25 but i was nervous/shaking after my natural sciences section... thought i bombed it.. kinda disappointed with this score...

I am applying to 9 schools: NYU, Buffalo, Columbia, UMDNJ, Stony Brook, University of Maryland, University of Connecticut, Tufts University, Temple University

My overall GPA is 3.4
My science GPA is 2.9

dont know if i will get in..

The only thing that might raise concerns are the the low sci GPA and the low QR. I know some schools have cutoffs at 16-17 and 3.0. So if thats the case, you probably shouldnt apply there. Otherwise, I think 18/20 is a solid score and you should be able to get some invites.
