So, I just took DAT today and I am very sad with my low scores in RC and Bio.
PAT25/QR22/RC14/BIO15/OC20/GC20 TS18/AA18

I know both TS and AA is lower than the avg score that they require, but if i do better in RC in BIO in retake, I think the score will be at least 20.
I dont have any specific preferred school (but want to stay in the east coast if possible), willing to move anywhere I get accepted.
So should I apply for this cycle and resubmit the new score later or just have more time to study and apply for next cycle?
I already started the application but didnt submitted yet. Have recommendation letters.
Will i be able to increase the BIO and RC scores in a short time?


Also where do you find if schools have cutoffs or not?

The soonest you can take your DAT again is 90 days from today, which would be in late November. If you were to apply now with your current scores and indicate that you want to retake, some schools may set aside your application until then, which definitely means you are looking at post-December spots. I would not plan on applying this cycle unless you have a very high GPA with strong ECs and recommendation letters.

I would definitely submit if you’re confident you can do better. Your scores are overall really good, especially that 25 PAT. Also, I only say to submit if your confident because if you do re-take it and don’t do as well as you wanted to, you will be putting your money into the drain as you have already submitted your application. Just be careful of that.
 
This one’s tough. It really depends on a lot of things. Your gpa, sgpa, lors, financial situation,..... the list goes on.
I think you’ll be able to improve your scores and it’s kind of a gamble as to the schools willingness to wait for it.
If you have a good gpa and can financially afford it, I say go for it. But if not, don’t get discouraged. Hang in there, you’ll be a much better candidate next cycle. Best of luck. You got this.
