Just finished the DAT, do I stand a chance?

[eebrost]

Hey all,

So I have a pretty good feeling that I am safe with these scores, but I just wanted advice from this experienced community. Here are my scores:

PA- 22
QR- 21
RC- 20
Bio- 17
GC- 21
OC- 17
TS- 18
AA- 19

I am nervous at having two 17's, but I hope that my other stats should make up for them:

oGPA- 3.54
sGPA- 3.62

I'm a non-traditional student with a M.S. degree in Optical Science and a B.S. in Physics. I'll be applying to my state school early this summer. It wouldn't be the end of the world if someone thought I should retake, but I would rather spend my summer outside and not inside. Thanks for any advice!

Your scores are great! Good luck applying this cycle. If you haven't already, call/email the schools you want to apply to and see if they are ok with 17s in those respective sections. Apply early and I think you will have a great shot at getting in.

A retake shouldn't mean an entire summer. If you were to knuckle down right now for another 4 weeks I don't see how you wouldn't go up 2-3 points.

Whether you want to retake is debatable. Sure people get in with a couple 17's. Are you feeling lucky?
