I am a dental hygienist of 8 years. My overall GPA is a 3.3 and TS 3.3. I know that is low but my current coursework (bio 1&2, chem 1&2, physics, ochem, and biochem) is a 3.9 GPA. That was over the past year while working part time as a hygienist. Also, I have a baby and a 5 year old. I hope this shows I can handle a rigorous course load, I just wasn't fully matured as a student the first time around. I am so determined to do this. So much so, that I had my baby over spring break and returned to class 5 days later and never missed a class (that was the one B I got). I took the DAT for the first time only studying for 3 weeks over Christmas break and I was 37 weeks pregnant-bad idea. My AA was a 17 I wanted to avoid having to take it with a newborn or during the semester. This time I studied after Spring semester (and having my baby) for about 5 weeks and my scores were:
PAT 18
RC 23
Bio 18
QR 15 -ran out of time, so bad
Ochem 16 I know this is bad too
Chem 23
AA 19
Do you think I have any chance with my stats or should I retake the DAT for a 3rd time!? I hope being a hygienist for 8 years helps. I really don't want to retake it. Also, I am finishing my Bachleors so my GPA should only go up.
