Hi, all.
I took the DAT on july 10th, and here is my result.

pat 22 (97.6%)
quantitative 18 (74%)
reading 13(2.1%)
biology 20 (87.4%)
general chem 23 (94.5%)
organic chem 29 (100%)

total science 22 (96.1%)
Academic average 21 (91.5%)

During the break.. i did not eat anything..cuz i wasn't hungry.. but when the second test started, i knew that i was really hungry..
I couldn't focus...at all.. math was so easy.. but i had no strength to think..

my gpa is 3.9 so far.. and i think i am going to take the test again in october.. What you guys think...??

If i send my application in two weeks, do you think it is too late???

i had experience in dental office and volunteer.. and so on.. (but not much..)

oh, i am a U.S citizen.. but i was rasied in south korea and came here two years ago... my english is terrible.. haha..

Ill be honest with you. Your science scores are above average, but your reading comprehension score is so bad I could see you getting rejected all over the place. 13 is way low especially when many schools require a 16/17 in every section. A 13 is a long ways away from a 16. Id suggest a retake. but good luck.

Your science scores are WAY above average, don't let anyone tell you they are "slightly". I feel that schools are either gonna reject you on the spot due to a horrendous RC, or interview on the spot thinking the RC is an outlier. Either way you did great.

While I agree with the other posters about your doing well in the science sections, I have to say that this guy is absolutely right about that RC score keeping you away from school. Many schools have strict guidelines about RC, many of them sticking it at 18/19 . . . . and at 13 I seriously doubt whether they will make an exception, because it is not even close. I am afraid that you'd have to retake in October. It will be more competitive at that time, but if you have hold your sciences at the current mark and improve on QR and RC, you'll at least have a shot.
