Question on DAT Score

Members don't see this ad.

I took my DAT on 9/19/11 and this is the score that I got:

PAT 17 🙁
QR 20
RC 21
BIO 19
GC 20
OC 20
TS 19
AA 20

I am an international student (non-Canadian) who's applying this cycle.
My science GPA is 3.57 and overall GPA is 3.62 (GPA calculation done by AADSAS). I've done 100 hours in shadowing and have about 1000 hours of volunteer work (church).

I submitted my application at the end of September and applied to
UoP, Tufts, Detroit Mercy, Columbia, NYU, Case, Creighton, Nova, Midwestern, Arizona School of Dentistry, and Indiana.

What are my chances of getting an interview? Will I even get one? T-T
Should I retake the DAT because of the PAT section?
Please give me some feedbacks.
Thank you!

Your DAT scores are too low for UoP and Columbia. NYU is your best bet because of how friendly they are to international applicants. I'm not sure how international friendly the other schools are on your list. Your DAT scores are fine given your solid GPA. Good job!

Thanks for the feedback! I really hope I get into one.

Your scores are pretty good. Solid 19s and 20s. Your PAT score is over the threshold for most schools, so I think you have a good chance of getting an interview. Good luck!

Columbia may be a reach but I think you are fine for most schools otherwise with that GPA. Nice job.

Columbia and UoP might be out of reach, but you are definitely competitive at the other schools. Good luck!

Thank you everyone for the kind replies.
I'm starting to receive some emails from each school to either submit supplemental applications or that they are under the process of reviewing.
I know I am WAY late compared to other people, but I'm crossing my fingers!
Good luck to everyone else as well!
