Hey guys,
I haven't really posted here, but I have been following a lot, taking in a lot of
Information and tips for test day and what not. I hate standardized tests, and I do a lot better in school than bigger tests. I can kind of let the nerves get to me.

My overall score is something I can be pleased with. I know it's not super awesome
but I also know its not horrible, except for one section I somehow screwed up on.

Here are my scores:
PA: 22 - 93.4%
QR: 21 - 96.4%
RC: 23 - 89.8%
Bio: 20 - 88.0%
GC: 17 - 46.8% 🙁
OC: 21 85.7%
TS: 19 75.0% thanks to my horrible gen Chem score. Kind of upset about this.
AA: 20 87.6%

My sGPA is a 3.97-3.98... I got an A- in cell
Bio lecture. I am a student athlete, swim and do various exercises 20-25 hours a week, compete at NCAA and shadowed this past summer. I haven't had many opportunities to do much because I swam during university, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I've been competitively swimming since I was 8 years old. I love it to death.

Will my Gen Chem score really hurt me?

Oh, and if anyone is interested in what I did to study, then I'd be happy to tell you how
my summer went and what I did.

Thanks again guys! 🙂 you have all been a tremendous help. So glad it is done! Haha

Well assuming you're still pre-pharmacy -looks at status-....that gchem score might look a tad sad.

Lol jk, you should be fine with that score, since your GPA is over 9000.

Haha yeah I was interested in Pharmacy my first semester of my freshman, but I changed after that. Guess I'll change that now huh?

But seriously, you think it'll be okay?

I would definitely not retake, at least not this cycle. Your total science and AA are both solid, as is your PAT. With your awesome gpa you should have no issues with that DAT score.

Do you think the GC score will hold me back though? I was moving into a newly rented home with some other guys for like a week or so, so my studying was held back a little before the test.

But I needed the test to get done haha

No need for a retake in my opinion, but call the schools your applying to and ask what they think about a 17 GC before you decide to retake.
