DAT taken. Need your advice!

[wildzodiac]

Hey everyone! I am new to the forums as a member to the forums but have been finding myself here browsing new and old posts for months now.

I just finished my DAT today and here is the breakdown:

PAT: 20
QR: 20
RC: 24
Bio: 19
GC: 19
OC: 24
TS:19
AA: 21

I am sort of satisfied with my scores. I feel like I feel like I did well in RC and OC, but despite the OC score my TS is 19. I am happy with the 21 AA.

Also, my oGPA is 3.78 and sGPA is 3.76.

6 letters of rec, all of which I know are bomb good. Got about 200 hours shadowing.

I'm applying to close to a dozen schools, with Maryland as my number one choice. It's a state school and gives priority to MD residence, which works in my favor. Hell of a program too...

I know this site is flooded with "is my score good enough?" and "should I retake?" posts, but I just need some opinions by all of you, the SDN community! How do I look?

Looks like a solid app to me! You should have no problem scoring interviews. Congrats on your DAT scores, now go out and have some fun

Go have some fun!? Funny you say that. MY 21st B DAY IS THIS FRIDAY! Going to have a good time with a few friends! A well deserved 21st indeed!

Absolutely, well deserved indeed! My 21st will be shortly after my DAT so I plan on doing the same

Good job!
Although I don't understand how 19/19/24 gave you TS of 19
Because I have seen many people who got 19/19/18 and got the same TS as you

Great job! I know the TS scaling is out of total # correct but it is so weird and I'm VERY surprised you had a 19. I would have expected it to get bumped up to a 20. Oh well, your scores are still good and with your gpa and good letters and ecs I'm sure you will have no issues getting interviews this cycle.

Its sort of bull**** and that's the only thing which caught me by surprise. Oh well, I hope I get into Maryland.
