Hey everyone,

So I took my DAT about two weeks ago and scored the following. Before getting into my concern, just a few thoughts: First, thank you to all that contribute to this site. Second, I felt like I busted my tail to get the scores I did, and although they are not as superior as many other scores on this site, I considered myself blessed to do as well as I did. Lastly, I am only concerned because of the inconsistency of QR score and maybe even the PAT. I never really grasped the QR practice tests, and was getting 21's consistently on CDP.

Bio: 21
GC: 20
OC: 25
TS: 22
RC: 22
QR: 17
PA: 19
AA: 21

I have decent extracurriculars. Honestly just concerned that they will be thrown off of by the low QR score.
 
You have a really good score. I met people at my interviews with scores of 15 on QR. Rest assured that you are still considered a viable candidate. Your pat score is not bad by any means either. Good luck.
