Please help!
I'm really at a loss of what to do and need to make a decision soon. I applied last year in November (late I KNOW) so got rejected everywhere and no real feedback on how competitive I am.
I have been out of school for a year and started studying for the DAT again about 2 months ago so far I'm getting like 18's AA/TS and 22's PAT on the kaplan practice tests.
I have over 1200 hours working/volunteering/shadowing at a dental office.
Minimal community service work and I had a baby the summer before my last year of school (that kept me really busy).
I was thinking about taking the DAT august 6th. So about 3 more weeks of intense study.
So any suggestions of IF I should retake the DAT would be greatly appreciated.
Also, If indeed I should retake it, how is the timing of my proposed date for taking the test?
My stats:
DAT 7/08 Scores:
TS:20 AA:20 PAT:18
BIO:19
GEN CHEM:20
ORG CHEM:25
PAT:18
QR:17
RC:17
AADSAS GPA's:
Junior college 1: 30 hours. 3.42 GPA
Junior college 2: 70 hours. 2.13 GPA
CA State Uni: 64 hours 3.77
Inc +- w/o +-
BCP: 2.89 2.93
Science 2.83 2.86
Non-Science 3.53 3.53
Total 2.99 3.01
Graduated first in my class because CSU only count residential units toward GPA which was 3.9 (discrepancy w/ AADSAS b/c of an incomplete grade that was retaken).
