So I've seen in a couple of threads that certain schools have cutoffs for DAT scores and won't accept anything 16 or below...does anyone have a list of these particular schools? My scores are okay (19 PA, 18 QR, 23 RC, 19 BIO, 20 GC, 16 OC, 18 TS, 19 AA) but the 16 in OC scares me if it's true about certain schools having cutoff scores. I've only taken 1 semester of OC, and had to drop the second semester due to medical problems and surgeries last semester, which I did mention in my application, but I don't really want to re-take since I don't want my app to be on hold until I can re-take it at the end of september. OC is also only offered online at my university, which is also shown on the application, and made it pretty difficult to learn as it is. Anyways I applied to:

MWU IL
MWU AZ
ASDOH
MOSDOH
IU
UIC
UK
Louisville
Iowa
Creighton
Marquette

I've got pretty good shadowing and tons of volunteer work and GPA is 3.50, sGPA is 3.29. Do you think schools may overlook the OC because of my other scores and at least give me an interview and a chance to explain myself?

I would be careful with the online class. A lot of schools will not take online courses if it has to do with the pre-reqs.

It's only offered at my university as an online course, it isn't an option

Thank you! So it looks like most schools will accept a 16, especially since its just OC, depending on other factors.

I understand I am in the same situation. I had to apply to another college as a transient student to take organic because of the same thing. It actually shows on my transcript it is online, most colleges don't do that from what I understand. So if it isn't on the transcript I wouldn't worry. I have just heard its a no-no to do the online route. I could very well be wrong though.

While schools take people with a 16 on subsections, I feel like those applicants with 16s are exceptions, not the rule.
