I feel like I did poorly in the areas that are most important, but I certainly did well in some areas. Do you think these scores merit a retake? Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated, and thanks for your time.
P.S. I'm not looking at going to any high end school.

These scores are fine. Remember apply early, gain many shadowing hours, join a couple of organizations, and volunteer.

I feel like UW-Madison is also a very reputable place to undergrad.

Thanks, I read kaplan BB three times, I really only studied for like a week maybe 4-5 hours per day. It helped that Ochem was fairly fresh still. I took as many practice tests as I could find(that were free) If I could do it again I would get a supplement for the biology, I found Kaplan's wasn't enough. It sounds like cliff's bio is good. The PAT was much harder I thought on the real thing compared to KAP's too. You can blow through angle ranking in kaplan, but the real thing was another story. Same with paper punching. I definitely recommend the kaplan book though, it's not terribly expensive and it's a great foundation.

Not necessarily. Depends on the schools you r applying to and your overall package.
