I hope I haven't screwed myself

[t.s]

Hey guys,

Just wanted some of your input...

I was actually one of the early birds (AADSAS # 13--), but due to some personal stuff that came at me during the year, I didn't end up taking the dat until february;

AA = 21
TS = 19
PAT = 15
(QR=19, RC=24, B=18, GC=23, OC=19);

I have a cummulative GPA of 3.51 and a science GPA of 3.28. I am hoping to get into ANYWHERE...I have applied to BU, Howard, Nova, Tufts, Temple...

Basically, do I still have a shot this year, or should I start making plans for the 2006 cycle? Should I retake my DATs?

wow this is a tough one.

i would say that you would still have a chance to get accepted somewhere with a pat of 15 because the rest of your stats are great. however, i am not so sure about you taking the DAT so late. if i were you, i'd start preparing for 2006. wish you the best of luck. hope you get in this year.

I agree. Don't give your hopes but still cover your bases in case you have to reapply during this next cycle. Best of luck!

Thanks for the feedback.

with regards to reapplying, should I retake the DAT? and is it possible to use the same letters of recommendation (ie---can I ask the adcoms to re-use the letters?)?

thanks again for your input!

contact the schools you applied to, you have a good gpa and good dat other than the pat you are a strong applicant call and make sure that they haven't tossed your application out because it was incomplete for so long, you still have a chance at bu, tufts and nyu since they accept late(if you applied to any of these schools) good luck!

I definitely think that you still have a shot...your A.A. of the DAT is strong! And your GPA's are not shabby either. I would definitely call the schools that you applied to and ask what the status of your application is. Think about it this way... if you took it recently, they may not have even received the DAT score yet. You still may be "incomplete" to them. I would call to ask if they have received the scores, and sort of "feel out their responses" I think you definitely have a STRONG chance of getting in SOMEWHERE. As for the 2006 cycle, re-taking the DAT is a tough decision.. (it's not something you are DYING TO DO AGAIN) I would talk to your pre-health advisor or someone that has been mentoring you and ask for advice.... but the way I feel is that with a little more studying your score may go up EVEN MORE! Good Luck .

TS sorry to sound harsh but WHY ARE YOU CRYING????

I think your in good shape and I would be happy with your scores. I know people that have had an avg of 14 and 15's that have gotten in so dont worry about a 15 on one part my man !!!
