Hey Guys,

I already applied this year and have had all my stuff sent in for about 3 weeks now. I am a reapplicant, applied to 20+ schools last year (completed app mid to late September) and had one interview, with one wait list and eventually all rejections. This year I applied to only 11 schools while slightly improving my GPA from last year. My stats are oGPA 3.42 (3.42), sGPA 3.3 (3.33), bcpGPA 3.18 (3.23) DAT 21/20. I was wondering whether it would be a wise choice to risk taking the DAT again during the last week of October. Let me know what you guys think. This year I applied to mostly large private schools. I am a Michigan resident btw. If you want to see the schools I applied to just let me know. Thanks in advance.

Don't think you should have much trouble. bcpGPA slightly below average, but depending on where you applied, you should b able to get interviews. DAT doesn't need help...unless you have a score under 17

DAT is above average, I would leave it as is and as long as you got your stuff in early that should be a major help. Good luck!

I don't have any scores lower than 17. I got a 19 in gen chem and at least 21 is every other category. Just hope it is high enough to overcome the low bcpGPA
