I took the DATS twice and one both i have sections where i did well. For instance an orgo 16 the first time and 18 the second, Bio 19 the first and 17 the second. Will schools combine my best sections?/
 
Yes , actually some schools do, so you don't have to dream on, for example UNLV does that and I called NYU and they said they look at both scores so the answer is YES, not all of them but some do. just call and ask to see which ones. I had QR=16 on my second DAT and 18 on my first so I called and asked. And also it's on UNLV's website too they say they take the highest score for each section.
 
it would make sense to do that. I dont see why not. I mean with my combined scores in each section my AA and TS change for the better. It only shows that you do know the information in each section and are capable of scoring well as a test taker. I know u mentioned nyu, i think bu does as well. I asked my advisor from school today and he says they do look at every section from both takes and will usually give u the benefit. "After initial screening everything is analyzed in depth"- my advisor.
