My DAT scores HELP!

I took the DAT a couple weeks ago and my scores were:

BIO-22
G CHEM-24
O-CHEM-29
PAT- 21
RC-17
QR-15
TS-24
AA-21

I've already written up a breakdown, but I'm still just concerned about my RC and QR scores. I'm not applying until next year, so do you think it would be worth it to retake? do many schools have cutoffs and not even look at my application?

any responses would be appreciated! THANKS!!

ahh...this is a tough call.
if you had 18 RC i would keep the scores..
i think it's up to you to decide. some will say to retake and some won't.
btw, great job with the science! wow OC!

I say don't retake it. Your AA is 21. Unless your GPA is horrible, I wouldn't retake it.

You have to realize you might not pull that 29 off again (all correct) and that will seriously lower your AA.

Thanks for the replies guys. I realize that it would be tough to pull off a TS of 24 again, so I think I'll stick with the score I've got.

My hope is that schools will overlook the low QR and RC scores, and not have cutoffs. I guess we'll see how it goes...
