I know I can do better than that on the DAT but unfortunately my computer was glitching alot. I filled a report and I’m still waiting for a response. Do you think I should apply with these scores or should I retake the test? If I retake can I still apply this cycle or I will be very late?

UPenn and Columbia are pretty huge reaches...
 
I don't see the PAT scores, but chances are you need to retake. Be serious about your third shot. If your computer was glitchy, you should have voided.

Swap
Temple, not Penn.
Drop Columbia until you get DAT with 20s across the board.
BU not West Virginia
