are you for real? your scores are way above average, you have nothing to worry about.

funny joke.

dude i would kill for all 20+'s on sciences

u even got a 21 on RC, QR is nothing to worry about since the time issue is well known

if you got some nice extra curriculars you are set

i just hope i get a 20 or above -_-

I am pretty sure you will get in with flying colors. Do you think Kaplan tests (both subject and practice tests) were reflective of the real exam?? And for Cliffs AP Bio book, how much reading is it? Do you think you need more than a few days to cover it?? Did you search and destroy for the RC??

GREAT SCORES.....you applying to Tufts DMD program?

These are great scores, no reason to complain!

Congrats 🙂

I think Kaplan tests were reflective of the real exam (maybe a little bit easier) ... but some orgo stuff is not covered by Kaplan so I think you should supplement it with Destroyer (if not the whole thing then just the roadmaps). I used search and destroy for the RC. I never tried any other methods so I don't know how others are going to work. And for cliffs AP Bio... I didn't read the whole thing, I mainly used it for plants, biodiversity, ecology, and animal behaviors. Studying those things (reading and memorizing) alone took me about two days. For me, questions from Kapaln subject tests and other practice test materials helped me the most for bio.

Remember that generally those with the best scores are the ones posting them here...

You did the best you can 🙂

Is the 3.1 science? If so, it might be a problem unless your school is a top 20 uni. To be honest, I've seen some people with 3.1s get rejected with 20+ DATs. But make sure you hurry . Its getting late. I'd say wait a year and raise your gpa

Nice Job! I don't think you'll have a problem with your scores! Did you think the Kaplan subject tests were a bit harder or very similar to the real thing? I'm doing them and my scores are all over the place starting from the first to the last- they range from 15-24. I'm starting to freak out a bit considering I have to take it in a couple days. Thanks in advance and great job!

Do you think that graduating from a top 20 university actually helps even with a low gpa? I did go to a top 10 uni. but I heard that it doesn't really matter... 🙁 And I already did a special master's program at Tufts so I don't think I can take any more courses to raise my gpa anymore 🙁 I think I'm going to apply within three days. Do you think that it might help if I retake my exam in early December and raise my score? Thank you for your advise!

I think Kaplan orgo, and PAT tests were a little bit easier than the actual test but chem and bio were very similar. I never took Kaplan RC so I wouldn't know. Good luck on your test!

I am in a similar situation.
See my predents for numbers.
I think applying early is the KEY for applicants with less than stellar GPA/DAT!
I would apply ASAP and hope for the best.
Also, if you are 100% confident that you will do better, I would retake with that GPA..but let the schools start review your app ASAP.
Don't let them know you are retaking..cause they will put your app on hold.. thus pushing it back to post december review!

Your stats are better than mine!!! I wish I had your score 🙁
Well, I think i'm going to submit my application this weekend. I think I'm going to apply to NYU, BU, Tufts, Temple, Nova, UF, UoP, Pittsburgh, Tufts, USC, and Western... any schools that I should take out or add??? Thanks for you advise!
