Hello all,

I have two questions:

1) Do the schools from the list below have supplementary (secondary applications)? If so, do you recall any questions that they asked?

Tufts
USC
Boston
Nova
Mich
UofPacific

2) As the title suggests, what is considered a BAD DAT Bio score? and an AVERAGE Bio score?


Always appreciate your responses! Thanks in advance!

I've only applied to the following:
Tufts-no
USC-no
Mich-no

2) A score below 17 is considered bad. A good score would be around 20 or above.

How is 18? Bio is the only section that is lower than 20. I am wondering if i should take a chance in rewriting the american dat. I wrote both cDAT and aDAT, and scored 21 in bio when I wrote cDAT. I recently wrote aDAT and received 18. It wasn't like cDAT was easier or anything. I used the same materials to study for both; I do not know how I ended up getting 18. I am wondering if I should take the risk of rewriting the DAT in sake of bio score. AA is 22.

I wouldn't worry about it. 22 is really good. Well done.
