I was afraided to say that to you too. But you might consider retaking the test. But man, you totally kill the PAT. And RC and OChem is great too.

Thank you for your replies. Yes, I enjoy drawing in my spare time. Don't have much of that these days!

I am in my early 30's, married with two children. (caucasian male) I am set to finish my undergrad next Spring, and had hoped to apply this upcoming summer. If I were to retake it would this change when I am able to apply? Ideally I would like to avoid going into repayment on my loans as my wife is unable to support us 100% financially and the difficulty I might have finding a job fresh out of school in this economy... My science GPA is higher than my overall.

Taking that into consideration would you suggest risking it and applying with what I got or do you think it is imperative that I do a retake?
