I was initially happy with my scores but not so much after seeing the crazy stats here..

PAT: 18 🙁
AA: 24
TS: 24
QR: 20
RC: 22
BIO: 23
GC: 24
OC: 29

My science gpa is 3.6. Do you think the PAT score will destroy my chances at some of the top schools?
I have 300+ hours of research, 100 hours of volunteering and almost 100 hours of shadowing

Thank you!!

I think you'll be just fine 👍

Yeah you definitely need a retake.

You're more than fine.

BU
Tufts
UNC
Nova
Columbia
Michigan
UCSF
U of P
Case Western
UCLA
USC (?)

What do you guys think? Thank you for all your help!

 

[dentjo]

you are a permanent resident which means you are not considered international. Your stats look very good.

You'll be fine at a majority of these schools. UCLA and UNC can be considered reaches.

Since you are permanent resident, you should be instate at wherever you are now...

 

[molarbear9270]

Not instate anywhere, never lived in the US until college

Honestly...with a 24 AA, I'd just aim for a re-take. Your OC could improve substantially for consideration by top tier schools.

It's sad that the average DAT is about 28 these days. Miss the good old days!

I got the same OC (29)/PAT (19) score as you. Our crazy stats destroyed our chances 🙁

With the brutally needed sarcasm aside, I was worried at first but got over it. And you should, too. You're above average.

 

[dentistaazzurro18]

I had essentially the same stats when I applied two years ago (similar GPA, 24 DAT, higher PAT but lower GC and QR...) and applied to 14 schools like you, some of which were the same as the ones you are applying to. I got 10 interviews, turned 3 of them down and got accepted to all 7 schools I interviewed at, including my top 3... trust me, you'll be fine.🙂 haha.
