Hey guys,
I posted before once but I am always on here reading about the application cycle for the fall 09. I took the DATs a little while ago and I that really hard version that we all know about. I didn't do as well as I hoped, but not horrible either (18 ave, 19 sci)..everything was fine except for the math and pat scores so I was considering a retake.

My AADSAS has already been mailed to schools earlier this month (I submitted in early june) and I have been starting to get e-mails from the schools about paying the application fee.

The earliest I can take the DAT again is in the beginning of october. I wanted to get your opinions on this. Of course i know it helps to have everthing in early, which I will have done already with my first set of dat scores mailed by the end of this month..but if i chose to retake, how much will this hurt my chances for the fall 09? will i be completely out of pool for the first set of interviews?

*****Also, did anyone that took that really hard version find mistakes in the math section or seem as though that about 2 or 3 of the questions may not have had the answer that you thought it should..like there was a typo?

Thanks and sorry for the really long message!! Im just totally confused =(
 
call to schools, you are applying and ask about your situation. if you have good GPA and others in your application you are still in the game.
good luck
 
Did you have that frap exam? If so, yeah I found a couple of math questions with no correct answers.
 
hey step,
unfortunately yes I did. When did you take the DATs? I took mine last week. I called the ADA and they said I could fax a letter with the mistakes i thought it had in the math section. I don't know if it is worth it?
