SDN is where it all started -- without SDN I would not know how to handle the DAT and for also for exposing me to the Orgoman.

AA:18
SCI:20
PAT:16
------
ORGO:20
BIO:20
CHEM:19

I screwd up big time with RC and QR. double 15 Hence 18 AA.. I was also frapped and I should have handled it better!!

Math -- I have no idea what to tell you! the questions are really not that bad. I looked at the time and I had 25 minutes left -- exactly 5 minutes later 🙂 I looked again and I had 8 minutes left with mad questions to go!!


BIO-- destroyer destroyer destroyer... without destroyer, I dont know how anyone can score higher than a 17!!

Orgo -- Destroyer ROAD maps.. so know them cold!!

Chem -- Know all the conceptual destroyer chem. I thought i was going to do better in chem because it didnt appear that hard.. I was shocked with a 19.

To supplement destroyer, I used: Kaplan blue book (I read that a couple of times), wiki, my college books and tests.

last january i picked up destroyer to study and realized that I was going to score a 5/5/5 if i went ahead and take the DAT as I had planned. I am a non-traditional student -- been out for 6 years. So i took the year to study on and off while working my regular 2 jobs.

The last 3 weeks I studied like a beast for 10-12 hours a day -- I would have studied more if I didnt have to work.

degree in chemistry minor/Art
BCP:3.6
Sci 3.3
cumm 3.1 (those damn math classes)

I am applying to 8 schools but I got a family and i dont want to move too far from home. so NYU is the ideal school but I ll take whatever gives.

Anyway, hit me up if you have any questions...
 
i feel for you, i've always been great at math...i mean really good...thought i didn't need to study math...i was wrong

i mean i was going along like you, and all of a sudden i was like omg i have no time (time to start guessing)

good job with the scores, i would think you should get in somewhere, although 3.1 cumulative uggh (no body really like math anyway lol)

i bought the destroyer, and cracked it the night before the exam, i wished i had used it sooner, really great book.
to study all i did was read the bio, chem and orgo sections of kaplan and i did pretty good...hind sight if i had had another week i would have loved to use the destroyer
 
I'm pretty sure math classes count in your science GPA.... ouch.

SDN's the place where people learn about many things, among them Destroyer and UoP. Without SDN, those two would be virtually unknown.

Sorry, 27 Bio here and I never touched destroyer.
 
Math classes arent part of your science GPA
i believe on aadsas, at least calculus, is under the other science category...please correct me if I'm wrong.
 
When i was filling out my AADSAS and entering courses, it asked if he course was bio/chem/phys/non-science. For all math courses i entered non-science. I am not complaining, cuz math bings my GPA up lol but why would math be considered science??
 
AADSAS should have reassigned your math classes as other science. Just as they reassigned my Psych course from 'other science' to 'non-science' !? =(

Cool yeah your'e right, it was reassigned as other science. I dont get it though why is that considered science. I had a Calculus and Statistics both reassigned.

how can u tell what they did... are u just guessing from your GPA? or did they actually change it somewhere on your app?
