Call them and ask. Everything is great besides the BIO so you might not need a retake unless no one will except anything below an 18 in that department

This is my biggest fear going into this test... Luckily you've got a killer GPA to match. I'd just roll the dice and save yourself the hours of studying again (not to mention like $400 for a second try). How did you prep for the chemistries? Nice scores on the whole!

don't retake. your DAT and gpa are both competitive.

Great Scores all around
Im sure you'll be fine... a Retake isnt worth it

and Please break down the chem for us
thanks

thanks ~

well for the OC and GC, i used Chad's video to refresh memories and solely used that for informations. And, i used Qvault and destroyer to practice. i took all Qvault exams and got avg of GC 22 and OC 21; i think Qvault was way harder than the real DAT for all sciences.

the real DAT GC and OC were very straight forward with knowing all the reactions for OC and basic GC stuffs, such as pH, gas laws, stoic, etc. there was one OC question that i didnt know, which asked about what machine is used for measuring optical activity of a compound!!

bottom line is for GC and OC, the Chad's video covers all materials and practicing with destroyer and Qvault can help retain and apply the materials !

thanks!

no retake needed

i got an 18 in BIO and 16 in RC (18 QR) and got into 2 schools.

I think youre fine and dont need a retake.

But as always it is much better to visit/call the admissions office and see what they think about your low bio score.

The minimum for OU is a 17, so you should be good. I think your scores are fine. They only discussed the academic average when I went for my interview.
