ANYWAYS GUYS , ANY INPUT IS HELPFULL AND FOR THOSE WHO HAVE YET TO TAKE EM , DONT SWEAT IM SURE U ALL WILL DO FINE.
 
very good chance...u'll get at least a couple schools no problem. good job.
 
you definitely got some competitive and solid scores. i say apply early and you should have no problem. if you have the time, maybe take one or two classes to try to boost your science gpa, and keep up with your extracurriculars. good luck rest of the way.

what schools are you looking at?
 
thanks alot guys for the positive words....i was looking for my first choice being the california schools and after them maybe NYU. And ya, im takin some extra science classses to boost my Sci gpa.

If u guys have any questions about the test or my experience about anything let me know ... ill be more than happy to help
👍
 
this was my second time takin the dat...studyin for it my second time , i put in more hours and focused more...good luck to all of you please lemme kno what u guys think

You've taken a lot of different science classes.. What major were you? Phy sci? Biochem?

and science classes at ucla are KILLLLLEER

I'm assuming your GPA took the dip from taking hard upper div sciences (because the lower div sciences I've taken here so far have been pretty straightforward).. What upper div science classes would you say were the "killers"? It would help me to know because I am currently in between majors, and am curious about which upper div sciences are the most difficult here at ucla..
 
Overall solid scores. Great PAT score. Low RC. Don't even worry about QR.
I think you have a decent chance!
 
I did give a breakdown.

It's mostly understood that a breakdown is more than JUST your scores on each section...it's a brief description of what you thought about each section, and what materials you thought were most helpful in preparing you for each section (bio, gchem, ochem, PAT, RC, and QR).

ie) GEN CHEM: mostly conceptual, not many calculations...I reviewed with Destroyer and Kaplan BB for 2 weeks, and found that the actual DAT was easier than Destroyer, blah, blah, blah, etc....

That's an example of what a breakdown includes for EACH section.
