Just want to give a thanks to all of the posters here for their encouragement. Keep on posting. Even though I havent been much of a poster myself, i've been lurking for some time and your positive attitudes have kept me motivated.

my scores:

AA 22
TS 23
PA 19

GPA: 3.3 cum , 3.1 sci

I still have my fingers crossed fellas... looking to stay here in california. I know its an annoying question but now I can finally ask now that i have my DAT scores... what are my chances of getting in? Anyone here with similar stats? good luck all!

I studied for three months pretty intensively. I used kaplan online course and Topscore. I also used a few exam cracker books. Kaplan was by far the most helpful.
 
Hey congrats on great scores! Its gotta be one of the greatest feelings when you walk out of the testing center knowing your not going to have to deal with the DAT's again. Best of luck with apps.

I just finished the DAT today 6/29. I studied for 6 weeks and used Topscore, Kaplan tests, Princeton Review MCAT books, Sparkcharts, and Kaplan MCAT flash cards. Here are my scores on topscore and the real deal.

Topscore #1
AA 17 BIO 16 CHEM 18 ORG 12 PA 21 QR 21 RC 20
Topscore #2
AA 17 BIO 16 CHEM 16 ORG 15 PA 22 QR 19 RC 20
Topscore #3
AA 17 BIO 17 CHEM 16 ORG 14 PA 21 QR 19 RC 20

Real DAT:
AA 21 BIO 19 CHEM 19 ORG 27 PA 18 QR 20 RC 22 😀

I'm happy with my scores and am looking forward to applying to several dental schools on the East Coast. Thanks for all the advice SDN! 👍

Nice job. You did A LOT better on Organic on the Real thing compared to any of the Topscore tests. Did you just study twice as much for that or something after you took your practice tests? What was your strategy for RC?
