my printouts were mailed on aug 20th and took my dat on aug 24th but all i got is a rejection from loma linda (out of 14 schools I applied to). Plus Buffalo/stony/nyu/columbia/nj/howard/bu/temple/usc doesn't even update my status on aadsas!! 😕 Do these schools just dont update or is it just me? and i'm a senior at buffalo right now, so do you think they'll still like me although my stats are kinda crappy? 😀

Your GPA isn't terrible - I would re-take the DAT and rock it. That way, if you don't get in this cycle you'll have killer DAT scores to apply with next cycle.

Also, alot of schools don't update AADSAS regularly, so don't panic.

I would have to agree with you...

your gpa is fine, but your dats aren't the most competetive. i would retake. best of luck

those are honestly not competitive DAT scores at all. You should have save some money by not applying to so many schools. You just have to get higher scores. Oh the brighter side, they take forever to update your status sometimes.

Ya thats a 17/17/18, i dunno I would definitely retake. Your GPA is fine but your scores don't do anything to support that your GPA isn't a fluke.

From what I recall, Stony, NJ, Columbia, and Temple do not update AADSAS. I think NJ updates it around Dec 1 to say accepted if you are.

I didn't apply to the other schools listed.

good call. don't rush into retaking the DAT until you have the proper time to devote to preparation.
