Hello,

non trad, graduated 2008 and worked for a financial institution... took all of the science courses in the last two years....took the DAT last August after just studying for 2 weeks....was able to get a 20 AA, no sections under 17..TS and PAT were only 18....considering retaking the DAT ......wondering if anyone thinks it is worth it and also if I study 9 hours a day for a month if I should be able to raise the scores. Money is kind of an issue since I had stopped working in order to take all of the prereqs in the last two years. sGPA around 3.5 (major upward trend)

Any advice would be appreciated!

Did you apply last cycle with your scores? Can you post a complete breakdown of your scores, that would be helpful.

I'm not an expert, but from what i see here on SDN the 17 in Bio is probably what did you in. I think 9 hours a day for a month is enough. You might wanna call the schools that waitlisted you
and ask them.
good luck
