hi everyone,
I am currently studying to retake the DAT. Unfortunately, I do not have good GPAs. my BS sience gpa is a 2.7 and my MS science gpa is a 3.1 or 3.2 so I was wondering around what scores you guys think I should get on my DAT to get in? I applied last year when i was half way through my MS with my 2008 DAT scores (below), but I did not get in:
RC 15
QR 15
GC 18 or 19, can't remember
OC 21
BIO 21
PAT 20
TS 19
AS20



Thanks

90+ percentile. 22+ AA

I definitely agree. 20+ across the board with really help your situation.
Last year, the two red flags in RC and QR may have kept you out of several schools.

MS GPA 3.2 is very low, take more grad courses and raise your GPA to 3.5.

RC and QR killed your DAT scores, I think you should be fine with 21 or above.

Thanks guys.
My overall BS and MS GPAs are 3.1 and 3.38, respectively. I'm already done with my MS so I cant take any more MS classes. But I'm planning on taking anatomy through open university after the DAT since I never had the chance to take it.
I'm aiming for 25+ on my DAT. Hopefully this time I'll land some interviews. Keep me in your prayers!!

Great! I am in your boat too. What cycle are you reapplying for? Definitely gotta nail the DAT, I spoke to admissions officers that asked me to get 20+. I started with 19/19/19 AA/TS/PAT (CH:22 Bio:18 Orgo:20 Read:18 Qr:18) than retook it this september and got a AA 22/TS 21/PAT 24 - hopefully it all works out I'll let you know haha but definitely 20s!! you can do it!
