Hi everyone!!
I just took the DAT yesterday and was super happy that my AA jumped 3 points!! Still though, I am worried about applying with this score because my QR and PAT scores 🙁 I have a 3.5 cGPA but I think my sGPA might be a little lower. What do you guys think? I need advice on if I should retake it this winter before the next cycle!

First time:
PAT: 18
QR:15
RC: 19
BIO: 17
GC: 18
OC: 17
TS:17
AA:17

Second time:
PAT: 18
QR: 17
RC:20
BIO:20
GC: 21
OC: 21
TS: 20
AA: 20
 
Congrats on the improved DAT scores! I think your DAT is just fine, now you should work on improving your GPA by taking a few more upper level biology classes by the time next cycle rolls around. Other than that, you have a solid chance at a couple interviews.

Thank you!! I'm planning on taking biochem in the spring and maybe one other class. This fall I'm working full time as a scribe and shadowing more
