DAT Done! Need Advice

So I just came out of the test and I have mixed feelings about my scores.

I completed my post-bacc program (with all upper-division science courses) with a 3.71 GPA My undergraduate GPA is closer to a 3.0

PAT 19
QR 16
RC 18
BIO 19
GCHEM 21
OCHEM 17
TS 19
AA 18

I was expecting these scores but definitely not for Ochem. I got A's in all my Ochem classes during undergrad. I think I just ran out of time toward the end.

Do you think I need to retake it? I would appreciate any advice 🙂

you can go ahead and apply while planning a retake. Just don't take the test yet. If you notice that you are not getting interviews, then October, do your retake. However, I would still go ahead and apply broadly. Many places don't look at QR that much. I made a 16 on my QR and I already have an interview invite.

So you are saying you can still take interviews if you don't have your current DAT in yet?
