Hi,

I took my DAT this month and these are my scores:

Bio-23
Gchem - 23
Ochem -23
PAT -20
Math -18
RC -16

I am a Bio major. My GPA is 3.9.

Do I have a chance? Should I retake? I am afraid my RC score will kill my application.

Thank you!

What schools out of CA would you recommend?

Thanks!!
 
Cali schools are VERY competitive, there are schools that would overlook at a low RC and QR if the rest of your applications is strong, however its getting late in the cycle so chances are slim. You have a very strong GPA. If you are applying this cycle you should add more schools outside of Cali just to be safe, but you are applying next cycle you are probably fine as long as you apply super early and have great EC, PS and LORs to solidify your application.
