On the supplemental applications that i am filling out, it asks if there is anymore info that would be useful to the admissions committee while reviewing the application. On one of them I explained that I had a bad score on QR on the DAT and just explained that my math skills would not be an issue in a dental school curriculum, especially since i've done well in it in the past, on the ACT, etc. Is this something I should include or is it bad to say that? I'm not too sure. Let me know what you think!

i think it should be okay... as long as you dont sound like youre making excuses. you could also say you're working on reviewing your math skills?

Why bring it up at all? They can make judgement themselves with your grades, etc. Isn't 15.8 average for QR?
