Um... Generally it looks good, especially if you increase your overall AA by 2 or more.
Since ds have a policy on how they will handle retakes, such an occurrence probably doesn't generate much excitement.

A retake with a high or even average score looks better than only one DAT with low scores.
A retake does not guarantee a higher or average score.

Probably not as bad as one would think. Retakes are fairy common these days.
Retake is great. Just make sure you study and prepare yourself so that you can do really great.
I have tons of study stuff, PM me if you need additional books/CD's, notecards...etc.
Good luck.

Retaking the DAT is a good thing. It shows perserverance and commitment to a dream career. However, just pray not to get the ethics passage on testing day. 🙂
Hence the statement qualifier that the retake score be higher or average in order to be looked upon favorably by adcoms. 😉
