Your QR and RC are going to hurt you I think. I believe some schools have a minimum of 18 in RC? I may be full of it though. I would check. your other scores were good.

whatever the other guy said forget it! you are in dude ! depending on where you want to go ( dont get too picky) and youre in! those scores are solid I know many people to get in w/ those scores! congrats!👍

I would definitely be worried about the RC score. Schools want to make sure your reading ability can keep up with a demanding courseload, so it is one part of the test they really look at. I would recommend taking it again.

i would retake b/c of your 15 RC. sucks, i know..

your GPA is not indicative of the RC score you can attain. make sure you come up with a solid strategy and do many practice tests to test your strategy.

good luck, jb!🙂

Ouch, a 15 RC score? RC is probably the most important score on the DAT. I wonder if that is like 50th percentile or less. I would say retake also.

On the flip side,

A 19 and a 3.9 sound great, but a 15 on RC? ouch again. Quite the predicament you find yourself in.

I would retake...if you are confident you can replicate your PAT score within a few points

 

[yorkiepoo]

retake it

a 3.9 and 19 will get you in somewhere. It might not be your school of choice but does it really matter that much?! just dont screw up your interviews and you should be fine

ok. im a dental student who is on the selection board so Ill tell you the truth, and you could stop listening to these other *****s who think they know everyting. Your GPA is great and your scores are fine. 15 is the bottom that most schools will allow in any section, but they will not look at the 15 for more than a split second. Do not take the exam again They will look at your overall average and your over all science average. you will get in somewhere.
