Hey guys. I am reapplying this cycle after being waitlisted in VCU last cycle. I retook the DAT earlier today and am bittersweet with it. The scores were:
GEN CHEM: 22
O CHEM: 22
BIO: 17
QR: 19
RC: 22
PAT: 21
TS: 20
AA: 20

My previous scores were:
GEN CHEM: 18
O CHEM: 19
BIO: 19
QR: 18
RC: 21
PAT: 17
TS: 19
AA: 19

I'm worried that the BIO score will hurt me, so I wondering if I should think about retaking it in December. I will go through of applying this cycle. My sciGPA is 3.33 and oGPA is 3.43. BS in Biochemistry and BA in Chemistry. I took a BIO 400 course (Immunology) over the summer and received an A in it.

I don't think you should retake! A 20 is absolutely amazing and various students get accepted with that score! You should be proud of yourself, because many many students receive the same score in their retake or even lower, but they just don't talk about it as much! But that's just my advice 🙂
