First of all, thanks to all on SDN for the amazing resources provided on this forum. It really made studying much more manageable.
So I took my first DAT in Sept. 2007:
PAT-20
RC-18
QR-17
BIO-22
GC-19
OC-18
TS-19
AA-19
I applied very late for the 07-08 cycle, and then again in 08-09 and got 1 interview to MD and got on their waitlist.
DAT 6/23/10:
PAT-21
RC-20
QR-18
BIO-19
GC-19
OC-21
TS-20
AA-19
My computer froze as I initially finished all the science sections (had 12 minutes to go), so I went outside to tell the prometric people and they had to restart my computer twice (each time I had to go outside to the waiting area and then back in). They finally got it working again but the time was down to 9 minutes or so. It threw me off for the review of the sciences and PAT but there's nothing I could do. They filed something with the ADA but I don't really know if anything is even going to happen.
Even if they would let me I don't know if I would retake it again (if I don't have to) after all that studying and pressure I don't know if I could do it again.
Anyways, I just wanted to know what people thought about my chances this time. I have a 3.9 s and cgpa but not from a top tier school (somebody said they would look at it as a 3.5 or so but I don't know) with a major in psychology. I pretty much rewrote my application with a special emphasis on my personal statement. Also I have now around 100 hours of shadowing (last time I only had around 40). I did go up in most of my scores (except bio)but not by that much.
I am somewhat limited due to personal reasons where I could apply to, these are the ones I am going to try for:
NYU, UMDNJ, Maryland, Nova, Buffalo, Case, Temple and maybe a few more.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
