I was hoping for a little help. I really can't figure out how AA and TS are calculated. Here are my scores, maybe someone could explain it to me.

AA-18
TS-18
PA-21
QR-16
RC-20
BI-17
GC-19
OC-20

Oh, is there any tricks to get interviews? I applied a little late (Sep 20) with GPA of 3.385 Bio major, math/chem minors from Carroll College, MT. Thanks everyone

AA is just the average of every section except PAT.
TS is statistically determined by your final total scores of the science section compared to all other test takers. Therefore, it is not a simple average of the three science sections.

I also wished I knew some tricks to get interviews. From what I heard so far, your late of application of Sept 20 will hurt you since the schools won't fully process your app until mid to late Oct. Only time will tell......

The ada has posted a link on how they calculate the scores/averages. The link is

Scroll down and you will how to calculate the AA and just above it...it explains that is the same process of TS but with less subjects. I hope this helps.

thanks, this forum is great! Should I be contacting the schools that I applied to in order to check up on my application status and let them know that I am interested?

Aside from annoying the deans of Admissions by contacting each of them until you get lucky and one of them looks favorably upon the contact, I think you need to have a personal statement that makes the adcoms say, "I am dying to meet this person!". 'Course it's a little late to change that for most of us.
