That's not a bad DAT score. You might get some interviews if you apply to all those schools, but they do consider age and maturity. What material did you use for the DAT? Also what did you do for the 24 QR? Thanks.

For the QR, I started with Destroyer and got destroyed by it. I slowly started figuring out and becoming better at common problems everybody can expect (rolling dice, and other probability, and questions like "mark can paint a wall in 2 hours, John can paint in 3, how long if they work together?", combinations and permutations, questions like martha is 3 years older than her sister.... in 14 years she will be 5 years older than twice her sisters age". Go through destroyer UNTIMED and learn how to do the common problems! Then after doing just about half of the destroyer go through bootcamp and try to hit 20's on all the exams. The comparison problems on there are great practice.

For the rest of the DAT, I used Cliff's and Feralis for bio. Chad's videos for G chem and O chem first and foremost. I can't stress Bootcamp enough, amazing for the sciences, math, PAT, everything. Went through destroyer sciences a bit but the real thing was much much much easier in gen chem and o chem than destroyer and even slightly easier than BC.

Thank you. Do you mean QR in dat destroyer, not math destroyer correct?
Also, you used dat destroyer, bootcamp and cliffs for biology, so why is your biology score so poor? Did you go through everything?

Your score is still quite impressive, as are the rest of your credentials. Schools don't particularly care about your age. The pamphlets I got from my interview schools showed age ranges for matriculated students between 18 and 35 years. I will say to be weary of the Illinois schools. I am an Illinois resident and the University of Illinois at Chicago and SIU give EXTREME preference to in-state students (70 of the 72 accepted students at UIC were in-state).

Thanks for the input, I don't think I'll be applying to those schools then.
