I took the DAT on August 8th and got my results today. I studied for 4 months and used booster. I did better on the real test than on any of my practice tests. I studied close to 500 hours and improved all my scores drastically before plateauing in the last week or two. I am going into my junior year, so I have time to retake if absolutely necessary.

For more context I currently have a 3.64 GPA and a 3.51sGPA with a upward trend. I am a D1 Athlete, I tutor Organic Chem, have research experience and publication, I am a member of several science clubs on campus, and I am a Alabama resident. I plan to apply broadly (12-15 schools) and to mostly schools with lower DAT averages. Some of the schools I wish to apply are UAB, Roseman, New England, Tufts, Boston, U Tennesse, A.T. Still University of Arizona, South Carolina, LECOM.
