Should I RE-write

[liron26]

Hello, I just took my american DAT today and here are the following Scores
PA 21
QR 20
RC 21
BIO 17
GC 20
OC 20
Total science 19
Academic average 20

Overall GPA 3.3
Science GPA 3.3

Grad GPA 4.0

Should I re-write, i am only concerned with the outcome of my BIO mark. Any thoughts?

If I were in your shoes, I would probably hazard going through this cycle without a retake. If success was not to be found, I would inquire with the schools applied to and see if my BIO score had any impact on being denied pre/post interview, and then probably retake.

I think Kahr is right. Think about starting to study for a retake around Christmas so you can take it somewhere about March if you don't get in somewhere (that way you still have time for a 3rd test if you for some reason need it before the next cycle). I think you have a good shot this cycle with that killer grad GPA and it would suck to study for and take the DAT 2x if you don't need to.

Thank you for both of your replies. I will do exactly that, I hope ill get a couple interviews before Christmas I applied to 20 schools

You'll probably be fine, IIRC a 19 AA is average for matriculating students.

I had almost similar stats (little lower Grad gpa), and I got 4 interviews (1 acceptance), Apply with good P.S.

Good luck

17's fine

especially since it was in a subject score

I would plan on retaking it, a 17 in any subject could be a deal breaker at most schools
