...Really?

I took my DAT today and here are the scores I received. I think what I'm quite angry about will be obvious to you.

Perceptual: 20
Quantitative: 14
Reading: 22
Biology: 20
GChem: 20
OChem: 26
Total Science: 22
Academic Average: 20

So how much is that going to mess me up?

On another note, the scores will be sent to my designated schools in a few weeks with no additional action from me, correct?

If you aren't aiming for top schools I think you should be just fine. Those scores are way above average, still. Except QR, of course. Congratulations on being done!

yea i was wondering the same thing about the sending of scores, i wasnt sure if i needed to do anything ....and i didnt do anything....im just assuming /hoping aadsas sends it themselves? i mean i figured thats why they have my dentpin....does anybody know??
also i agree with the above post, if your not applying to top tier schools you should be fine hopefully? although, maybe even some top schools will take the 14 QR. i called temple dental today and they told me not to worry about my qr reasoning score bc they dont really care for it. But thats just temple dental. you could call your dental schools and find out about your scores. goodluck

Thanks for the input guys. I'm applying to Creighton, Louisville, Marquette, Maryland, Michigan, Pittsburgh, and West Virginia. I don't know if any of those are "top tier," maybe Maryland or Pitt.

another great DAT score ruined by the "invincible" QR....

Like previous folks suggested, call up each of the school ur interested in and see what advice they give you.

I dont think it will hurt you. QR is the least concerned subject. I know a couple of people who got 13 and 14 on QR and still received many interview invites.
