Hi all,
I've only ever been on SDN once before, but I was wondering if I could get some feedback..
I just took the test on 8/04 and here is my breakdown:
RC- 21
QR-19
Gchem- 24
Ochem-19
Bio-20
TS-21
AA-21
PAT-16 🙁

Im a UCLA graduate with a 3.1 Overall and 3.1 Science GPA.
This is my second time taking the test, the first time my AA was an 18, but also my PAT score the first time around was an 18; Im applying right now and hopefully I should be done with the application within a week and a half..seeing as how Im pretty late in the application process, do you guys think I stand a chance with admissions?


Thanks!

Your overall scores are great. The PAT is def gonna work against you. Check with schools and make sure you meet their min requirement on each section. Several schools do not place a high importance on the PAT section, so you def. have a shot. Get application done as soon as possible. Scores generally take 3-4 weeks to get to schools, so the earlier you finish your app. the higher chance you have that the app. is received at the same time as the scores. Usually verifying GPA takes a while by AADSAS, but since it is August, they may be doing that faster now. Also, apply to schools that have more emphasis on DAT scores bc your scores are great. By choosing the right schools you have a good shot at acceptance. Good Luck 👍

I'm in a similar situation (except it's my QR that dropped). here are my scores:

PAT 24
QR 15!!!
Bio 18
Gchem 20
Ochem 23
RC 20
Total Science 20
AA 19

Not sure how much the QR score is going to hurt me. I felt pretty good about the rest of the test though. Anyone have any comments to help me gauge my performance?

Again, look at schools to make sure you meet the min req for the QR section, but I can tell you many schools dont worry about that section too much as long as you are over the requirement. IMO it is the least important section.
