Members don't see this ad.

I just took the DAT few days ago and recieved following score:

PA 18
QR 17
RC 21
Bio 17
GC 23
OC 16
TS 18
AA 19

I didnt really prepared for it just bought the Kaplan book few weeks ago and skim over. Spent about 2 weeks of studying/reviewing materials in kaplan book.
I have 3.5 overall gpa with 3.86 science gpa and B.S. in biology. I Went to the carribean med school and withdrew after completing 4 semesters of medical school. It was mainly becuase I wasnt doing well in pathalogy II and pharmacology. Then took a year off and this year decided to take a DAT for 2010.
If you have any advise for me, plz feel free to give.

I would in your position. You have two science scores under 18..that doesn't seem competitive, IMO.

Def retake. The fact that you went to carib med school and then dropped out half way through is surely gonna hurt you.

yeah, you want to come at them with amazing DATs that will help them look past that academic experience.

Carib med-schools are ok but if you get carried away with island life like partying and stuff it will affect your grades big time. It is not U.S. but living there is not as bad as ppl make it sound.
