I could use some advice... I just finished the DAT yesterday for the second time... the first time I did awful. I don't even want to report my scores but yesterday I got.

I am not sure if this is good enough to get in somewhere. I applied a couple months ago to UNLV, Western, UofL, and Roseman. I am wondering If i should apply to more schools or maybe I should retake the DAT. Honestly... I don't feel like I could do that much better if i did. What schools should I apply to? am I too late to apply to more schools this year?

Thanks in advance!

Hard to say without knowing the rest of your stats. I'm guessing that's an 18 AA and 18ish TS?

Why don't you think you could do better? What did you use to study?
 
There's hope if you have great grades. I just read a post about someone with pretty good grades and average DAT, like you, and still managed 7 interviews and an acceptance.
 
I have a friend that only got an average of 17 and she got 3 interviews... Her GPA wasn't anything above a 3.3 for a fact... You should be fine! How was the exam? i should be taking it soon and I'm a bit freaked. A friend of mine took the OAT today (very similar to the DAT) she tells me the destroyer was mostly helpful for the biology, but if you know every topic in the destroyer for ochem/gchem that it would be most helpful for that... she also told me her QR section was way harder than expected... a lot of word problems.. thoughts? :/

Where did she get interviews from?
