My chances for UOP, Loma Linda, or Western?

[MV3]

I should've applied to more schools but the fam kinda pressured me to stay in Cali, more specifically the bay. I initially had my DAT's sent to 10 schools including some on the east coast but ended up doing 5 and wasting all that cash. In order of preference- UOP, UCSF, Loma Linda, Western, ASDOH. I told them I'm not guaranteed admission in any of these schools but they'd rather have me wait another year than to go anywhere else. Here's my stats:

3.3 Overall GPA, 3.0 Science (3.6 in my last semester 16 units of all upper division science), 80 hours volunteering, 30 shadowing, turned aadsas in mid june, DAT's on Aug 22:

PA 19 75.2
QR 16 50.9
RC 19 53.3
BIO 23 97.6
GC 21 86.2
OC 22 89.8
TS 22 95.3
AA 20 84.0

So do I have a chance at UOP? Does that 16 QR and 19 RC really hurt? And if not, how about Loma Linda or Western? I'm not even gonna bother with UCSF. I feel like I'd be good enough for some schools outside Cali but ASDOH's the only one I applied to. Should I take a retake just for UOP?

any advice/input would be greatly appreciated...

oh and I also just applied to these schools cuz i'm really really poor and broke out of my ass. might not even do the ASDOH's secondary...

UoP likes high RC scores, 20+ I believe.

uop also has a cutoff at 17!

how about loma linda or western? do I got a legitimate chance at those two or should I start studying for that retake?

UOP Does not have a cut off at 17 for every subject, people with 16 s in QR have been accepted to UOP, however, they have had high scores (20+) in other subjects, specially in the PAT section. You may have a shot at any of these schools, it really depends now on your activities other than school.

I think I'm gonna try to bring that QR and RC score up. Would a retake in late November be too late? Do I have to tell the schools I'm retaking? Should I even bother or just stick with these scores?

No, I retook my DAT last year during late November and I still got interviews from Western for a spot and UOP for a waitlist spot. Got into Western but since I wanna be at my top choice UOP, I declined and isnow HOPING I'll get in.
