My scores, + small break down.

Took the dat today, and I have mixed feelings about my scores.

PA: 17: 47.4% 🙁
QR: 15: 39% 🙁

Reading: 20: 72.4, I got pianoed, so I guess I did ok.

Biology: 20: This TRULY is a section that is hard to study for, nonetheless, studying and getting a good understanding of things will help, but you don't have to know the minute details.

General Chemistry: 19: Unexpected amount and types of calculations, it was a potentially easy section, but it was some ugly stuff.

Organic Chemistry: 21 Way simpler than the destroyer

TS: 20
AA:19

My biggest disappointment is my PAT score, since the lowest I got on PAT was a 19 on CDP.

Then there is the freaking QR, I don't know what the heck to do about that freaking section.


So, I am wondering are these scores going to cut it for Pitt?


Thanks, give me your opinions.
.
BTW, I have a 3.9 GPA.(Overall and Science)

I know with a retake I could do better, I guess I wouldn't have to study nearly as much either.


Materials:

Destroyer: Worth doing, but off target in many portions.
Don't kill your self learning the most complicated reactions. The road maps helped for sure.
The biology is probably pretty good.

Topscore: The chemistry is probably closer than I expected it to be, hence the 19.
Reading was quite similar, although nothing was quite as hard as piano.
Quite accurate for the OCHEM

Kaplan BB: I think this was probably more than enough for the chemistry, but getting destroyer for practice might be a good idea.

Great scores man congrads.

Great scores man congrads.

I wish, 🙂

I guess no one wants to tell me if I need to retake or not?

That's with a 3.9 GPA.

I don't really think you need a re-take, especially with that great GPA of yours. Even if you do re-take, it wouldn't be until late November, and I don't know how great your chances would be by then. If you don't hear of any invites or anything in the next 2 months, then I would probably schedule to take it again.

I am applying next year, not this year.

Then you should retake it and try to get higher Score unless if you have good Volunteer records or shadowing work and Recommendation letters.

 

[4thMolar]

In that case, go ahead and re-take it. You can study again and probably learn from any mistakes you made during your studying time or while you took the DAT and score higher on the re-take.

I'd retake, if only because the 15 is going to be below cut-off for a number of schools. A pity, because your scores and GPA are otherwise very competitive.

I would retake it (just kill it!) 👍

 

[Doc Windfaller]

great grades. depending on which schools you are shooting for, i'd say shoot for the stars- retake it and it'll open a lot of more windows for you. but the scores you have now are still just fine. that's my advice. 👍

You think you can do better and you're not applying until next year, so time is not a constraint. I think you've answered your own question. GL!

i took mine today too and had VERY similar scores. i think we should get into at least a couple schools. good job
