Basically, here's my situation. I took the DAT's end of November and applied in the end of September. My scores were as follows AA 19 Bio 18 GChem 19 O Chem 19 QR 19 RC 18 PAT 17 TS 18. Unfortunately, I didnt get into any schools last this year and am now reapplying. I don't know if it was because I applied late or if my scores were too low. I've been studying the last month or so but am worried I might do the same/worse. What should I do?
 
I think your application was kind of late. You should be fine with those scores i think. Make sure you apply to the right schools.

What's your GPA? That'll make the difference....IMO
 
You submitted your application really late. Some schools that I have talked to said that they will have 90% of there class filled by or around the end of november early december. If you submitted your app in september keep in mind that it takes at least 8 weeks for AADSAS to process it and september through early november is the busiest time for AADSAS so it may even take longer (thats what they told me)
