I just took the DAT a few days ago:

PAT: 22
QR: 22
RC: 24😀
BIO: 22
GC: 20
OC: 17 😡
TS: 20
AA: 21

GPA: 3.53

I guess it's pretty good for my first time taking it. I thought I was going to do a lot worse, and was already planning on retaking it during winter break, but now I'm not as sure. However, my GPA isn't that great, so I know I need a really good DAT score. I still have about half of my practice tests and other material that I haven't used yet either. Should I retake it?

Only if you can afford it and know you will do better. Your scores are solid and gpa isn't low.

You're above average in both gpa and DAT. Relax! Focus on your PS and extracurriculars.

Oh my god no. Don't retake.

I got a 17 in Bio AND PAT, and I have 1 interview scheduled at my top school choice.

And your GPA is MUCH MUCH higher than mine.

Just make sure the rest of your application is awesome. You will be fine!

21/20/22 ... Do not retake

 

[Toadesque]

are you serious? 3.5 with a 21/20/22 split? You're set dude

Like everyone said, no need to retake

With a score like yours, I'd say no. However, if it helps your sleep better at night, by all means go for it, but only if you're certain that you can do better.
