So I just took the Dat today (ugh this is literally the worst test in history) and got decent scores, nothing crazy good but also not exceptionally bad either.
AA 20 | OC 20 | GC 20 | Bio 18 | RC 21 | QR 22 | Pat 25
And I have my entire applicaiton done, I was just waiting to take the DAT to send it since I didn't want to pay to send it if i didn't do well and these are the schools I have listed
UCLA
USC
UCSF
UoP
UC (denver)
Arizona State
Temple
Nova
UF
Lecom
Harvard
UoMaryland
NYU
I know I might need to adjust my list since i'm pretty sure at least 2 of the schools really wouldn't consider me with only a 20 AA...
Any advice? I know it's great to have a reach school, and tbh Harvard has been SUPER accomodating with me since i'm applying without a GPA, as has NYU, but I'm not sure if it's worth it to apply?
Additionally, is it worth it to mention in my personal statement I've only taken 1 bio course (genetics) and is thus partially the reason why I scored so low in that section? (Not that I did that much better in the chemistries though...)
