RC 15....
Should I retake dat because of that 15?
I got an interview from UNLV with a 16.my first DAT score in RC is 17... idk if it'll help.... i heard UNLV takes the highest section.
Oh congraz! I'm sure you have a high GPA. My GPA is not high and I'm planning to go to post baccI got an interview from UNLV with a 16.
Well I'm not sure why.. I know I'm lacking in RC and I was ok to get a 18....I got two 16 for bootcamp test 1 and 2. For tests 3-5 I ranged from 17-19. I thought the passages were easy to read...I actually felt more confident when I was taking it for second time than first time (which I got a 17) :/ anyway, I'm going to ask the schools when they come to my school for prehealth conference and see what they think... I think I might need to retake it...the most annoying part is that now I have to balance school and DAT...I already sacrificed my whole summer for DAT -.- now I gotta worry about DAT for this one section....I am sorry about that! You have awesome scores. Except for that hideous RC, not your score, the section I mean!
It's the most worrisome for me as well.
Congratulations! Best of luck.
But what happened, why do you think you got 15 on RC? What were your practice scores average?
Hey nevertheless, those are some awesome scores! Great job!So I just took my DAT. I got

Is this something you pulled out of your hat or you happen to be privy to information that no one else seems to have? The available data to us mortals shows only two schools (Florida and Oregon) which require a minimum of 15 on all scored categories.Great scores, especially that 23TS. Since many schools have a cutoff for RC, I would call them and ask what their cutoff is. @Life of Pablo has a 16RC, and is in the double digits in terms of interviews. He can better elaborate.

UB Dental said:In order to be considered, you must have:
DAT Reading Comprehension: 16 minimum score on most recent test date
All other DAT Sections: 15 minimum score on most recent test date
My mistake. A FEW schools have a cutoff. It still wouldn't hurt to call schools and ask.Is this something you pulled out of your hat or you happen to be privy to information that no one else seems to have?

2012 How US DS Rank DAT/GPA/Other Selection CriteriaIsn't RC pretty important? Don't schools look at it to see that you're capable of reading passages for Boards?
I can understand a low QR score, but RC seems pretty important since your schooling/career depends on you needing to be able to read.

Ah yes. Adding one more changes the definition of a few to "most".
You are right. Disseminating a little more misinformation/disinformation on SDN is no biggie.It changes your only two, to more than two.
