hi i took my dat today and i got
20 bio,
20 orgo,
19 gchem
20 overall sciences
18 academic average
19 rc
but
pat:14
qr: 13
my gpa is 3.6 sciences and 3.81 over all gpa i got great letters of rec, a killer personal statement and applied early. will i get in with these scores and what do i tell them on interview about the bad scores in end? you can post or pm me.
 
if you had a bad gpa (less then 3.0) i'd say you are **** out of luck for this year, but considering you have a high gpa you should not worry anout the pat too much. just rem that some colleges have an automatic cuf off like UOP. you might wnat to add a few schools so that you get in this years.

are you thinking of retaking the DAT?

no i am not retaking it. i think the schools love the sciences marks and rc.

what schools you are applying to? Some schools give more weight yo PAT and RC. If that is the case then you might have to retake the DAT. my 2 cents.
 
Check with the schools you applied to see if they have a minimum requirement. For example, I know OHSU won't accept anything less than a 15 on any section. UOP claims they want atleast 20's across the board. Awesome science and RC scores 😀 and best of luck to you.
