Those scores are great; you're being serious?

Getting a 19 is not "bombing" a section. Also, what's up with people posting their DAT scores as their 1st post? It makes the post suspicious, if this is even a real post.
Edit:
Also, doesn't this belong in the DAT discussion section?

retake is definitely in order.
ya that 19 is terrible you need to retake it for sure because most schools wont let you in
With a QR and Bio that low, I don't think you will even be able to increase it to an acceptable score with a retake. I would suggest a career change.
(the above posts are jokes btw)
with scores like that your pretty much set, congrats!

Congrats on your scores! They are very solid and the sections you "bombed" are fine 🙂. Just realize that a lot of people who post their scores on SDN and predents are on the higher end of the spectrum - a 19 is perfectly acceptable! So be happy and celebrate your success!
Also, I know that a few schools don't look at PAT too closely, but a 26 is definitely something to be proud of!

This has to be a joke. The OP scored better than at least 80-90 % of the people who take the DAT in QR section. The AA score is above average which matches the above average gpa. Are you kidding or what?
seriously look at most scores on here and those are higher than most if not equal and if the person looked at there percentages they would be in the 80% tile for all their scores
I agree. Most people are attempting to psych others out. The inflation is amazing but honestly, why lie about scores? It's the internet. Who cares? I post my scores because I'm an honest person. Imagine how these individuals will treat their patients?!?
haha, joking of course.... maybe
Why is everyone so critical?
Perhaps she put in a lot of studying time and wanted to achieve higher scores.
While I (and most people) would be happy with those scores, we all have different preferences.
be nice!!!

Man...you CRAZY!!!!! Good job. 👍
it's not that the OP's scores are bad, it's the point of inexcusable naivety shown by the OP (and many others who post nonsense like this). Asking if they are going to get in with those kind of scores with a GPA of 3.64 is nonsense and a waste of space, on a numbers level. I would understand if the OP had a sub par GPA and asking for their chances, but representing 19 as bombed is not cool. That was really what flipped the switch with the sarcasm.
The OP knows they are going to get in somewhere, and if not, my apologies, one should have a feel for the trends, especially with a source like predents in conjunction with SDN. That is my take on the situation. Usually I am cool about this kind of stuff, but lately it seems SDN has lost its balance between an informational resource and a place for evaluation where it is not needed, as represented by this case.
It isn't offensive, nor does it need deleting (which a moderator has to do). If anything, it just looks like bragging... which now we know was not your intent (I never gave it 2 thoughts to begin with). You did well. You should be proud. Congrats.
Oh...and I have seen higher scores on the AA part of the DAT...but I sure didn't get them.

My apologies to the OP, i did not mean to hurt your feelings. Next time try to use predents and search through the forums to understand where you stand. It's just lately SDN seems to be overwhelmed by posts like this, some legit, others not so much. I never doubted your scores either, just came of a little arrogant (which I now understand is not the case, you just panicked, totally understandable). Your scores and GPA are solid and hopefully you will have multiple acceptances to choose from.
You guys are harsh!! OP you did well and I think you have a great chance of getting interviews with your current scores. Just FYI some people on here will definitely try to psych you out because afterall, they are your competition. I know a lot of people create these kinds of posts unecessarily, but it seems like your concern is sincere. Anyway, relax and CONGRATULATIONS on doing well.
haha, man this is too funny.
Retake it, your scores aren't high enough above average

wow, great job. You definitely killed the PAT.
LOL, dude your good man. Give me a break!
See bruinlove, this is a perfect example of apparent skewed perception of reality that SDN creates.
OP, Your scores are awesome, and you should know this. I think thats the reason for some of the offensive posts.
