Guys-

I just took my dat today and my reaction to it is mixed:

PAT-16
QR-16
RC-18
BIO-16
GC-18
ORGO-20
TS-17
AA-18

I need honest opnions guys do u think i can get away with these scores because i really dont have time take the test again anymore....since i have to wait 90 days now and it will be past the deadlines. Also please give me a feedback on what are my chances with my PAT and TS scores. I am applying to UNC, UMD,UPENN, Case Western,UK. Let me know if i should add more schools. I really want to get in somewhere this year...
 
Oh yea.. i wonna thank everyone for there feedbacks on there tests that they have been posting. I really appreciate it and i would like to return the favor so plz pm me if anyone has any questions.
 
If you are caucasion, forget about it for UNC, same if you are out of state for UNC unless you are a minority and have a good gpa. If you are in-state it's doubtful for UNC but I guess there's a chance.

I don't know where you're willing to go, but if you're applying to UPENN I think you should definatly add Temple, the average there is a little lower then Penn's. I also NYU and BU are big schools that you should apply to. Also whats your GPA, that makes a world of difference

I think you definatly have a shot at some schools. But I think you should def add more. I am by no mean san expert but i think look up the schools averages, you can order a catalog from the ADEA and pick a few more!

GOOD JOB on your dat.....congrats on being done!
 
My cumlative gpa is a 3.55 havent calculated the aadsas gpa yet. and yes i am not caucasian, i am an indian (from india).

Docveda Congrats! I was wondering what your reading comp was on since your scores dropped from your top score tests. Also what was the gen chem section like? Did you have to calculate a lot, or just set up the problems?

Congrats again! I hope you get in to your first choice.

Hmm, I recommend you take the DAT over again. Just practice more. By the way, how were your topscore scores. Because I heard the Real DAT is supposed to be easier than topscore.

Where did you hear the real dat is easier than topscore?
I find Topscore to be easier than Kaplan.
