Here were my scores from 2007, didn't do that great:

PA:18
QR:17
RC:21
B:19
GC:19
OC:17
AA:19

UCSD
Overall GPA: 3.5
Science GPA:3.6
Worked at an Oral Surgeons office for 9 months doing pretty much everything; from front office things to back office things to assisting in surgery. Volunteer hours though are lacking...hopefully can get some more hours in the next 2 months

The thing is I'm not sure if I can take the test before June 1(which is when I'd like to submit my application), will it put me a big disadvantage if I take the test and submit the scores later?

I am also mainly applying to california schools with 2 florida schools and UNLV don't really know if that'll make a difference...

You'll get in somewhere with those scores maybe not UCLA but perhaps USC, Loma Linda, and UNLV i would only retake if you want to go to specific schools but with those grades you will get in somewhere

I agree ... youre scores are ok but not top notch like the schools listed

Good job, apply early and you should be fine. Best wishes!

hmm...I really would like to get into Western or UCLA, guess I will retake. I assume I should just submit my current scores first and then my new scores later. How big of a disadvantage will I have if I submit my new scores later? I also heard you could let the school know that you do plan on taking the DATs later...

thanks everybody for your opinions
