Just took the DAT today:

Biology: 22
Gen Chem: 30
Organic: 22
Total Science: 23
Reading Comp: 25
Quantitative Reasoning: 30
Academic Average: 26
Perceptual Ability: 18

I was happy with everything except Perceptual, since it below the average for most schools but the AA is pretty high. What do you guys think?

You're kidding, right?
I wasn't but starting to look at other posts (and judging by comments) it looks like the answer is no. Just didn't know how to react to scores since most schools have an average PAT around 20-21.

Your score is fantastic, seriously. Pat yourself on the back.

Hi, I know you got accepted at Upenn, but I think you should decline your acceptances for this cycle, retake your DAT and consider reapplying.
