my AADSAS application is all verified and I heard that third batch was last friday, so i hope it will be sent in fourth batch or so..
Should I take DAT again ASAP?

18 RC is not a problem for most schools so I think it should be fine.

 

[Djdents]

yes, should be ok as long as you have a decent gpa and good ECs

 

[Troyvdg]

side note, kudos on the QR score...you beasted that section. QR is my kryptonite

 

[tayloreve]

dang..nice PAT/QR scores


whats your secret?

No retake unless you want to cripple your application and slow it down! 18 isn't a bad score. Certainly nothing to brag about, but it won't hurt you too much (if at all).

Thank you, actually PAT and QR were my strongest parts of DAT... I thought I would get perfect score for QR, but I still got good score though.. The best tip for QR is just mark and go to the next question. If you can get the right answer in 30 second, just pass it and go over later...


another concerning of my application.....
my GPA is not decent at all.. 🙁
BCPGPA 3.08, sGPA 3.15, non-sGPA 3.75, oGPA 3.4 (I have 2 F's with decent reason)
no research experience
shadowing +1000
volunteer +10000 (I started volunteering since I was in high school)

Im nervous if I dont get any invitations since my GPA is not good.... 😕

you should note that any ECs considered can only be from undergrad, non from high school...

hmm. then my volunteer hours would be about 8000... I started it from my senior year of HS. I cannot even change that section anyway since i have submitted them already.. horrible..........

what did you use for PAT? any recommendations on techniques.

Guys,

What are the chances of being accepted with PA score of 18 and AA 20, TS 21? Would you say PA of 18 is enough? And also Reading Score is 18 as well. Do you think it is enough to get in with Science GPA 3.5?

I think you have a reasonable chance with those scores, considering I had fairly similar stats.

I basically used kaplan bb n barron pat questions... 😛 I heard guys are better on perception, so i think thats why i was good at pat part... And i was good at orogami n puzzle thingy when i was a kid 😉
