I really want to go UOP, UCSF, UCLA and the highest goal is Columbia...
My GPA is around 3.8 and... I am international student.. ;(

Should I retake DAT???
I am sure I can do better at OC but rest of them I am not sure... but I can try my best again.. What should I do? Is this DAT good enough to get interview from those school?

I am sorry for being a jerk but do you know what 98.9 percentile mean????

Then use your common sense to answer your own question.

This must be a troll.

the only thing that might hold you back is if the interviewers realize that you have NO common sense... because its common sense that a 22 DAT and 3.8 GPA is golden...

your scores suck. you are rejected.

 

[hmmmmm]

your scores do suck because you're an international student

Questions to ask yourself for a retake:

Do you think you can bring up your QR/OC while maintaining your very high GC and PAT scores.

How do you feel about 19 RC, is English your first language?

Are you ready to play the lottery with bio again?

As an American I would say never retake a 22, but international seems to be a major disadvantage.

Hey Guys, I have a 4.0 and scored 30/30 on the DAT/PAT. Do you think I'll get accepted?? I heard schools are looking for people with common sense so you are probably out... If you can't figure this one out then you probably will not survive outside of book life.

 

[UCLAzy]

everybody that posted should also post their RC score. said student is international; whole different ball game, especially for those california schools.

The OP is probably one of you guys on this thread who just created a separate account to have some laughs.

If your going to be applying in June 2012, I would say you have more than enough time to prepare for retaking. Although, like the others said, it is kind of risky because there are so many different bio questions that can be asked and how many PA questions were a "lucky guess"

Personally I would be ecstatic with a 22 and a 3.8. But if you think you can improve, more power to you! Good luck!

Sorry, you should definitely retake it.
If you are a US citizen/per. resident. Your school is good enough to most of the schools you want to go. However, it isn't the case since you're an international student. 😳
I know an international student got 4.0 with 23 AA DAT but couldn't get accepted to Columbia and Penn. 🙁
