Skewed DAT scores. What do you think??

Hey everyone, I posted this on the DAT forum also but just looking for some more input. I took the DAT yesterday:

PAT 23
QR 16
RC 28
BIO 20
GC 17
OC 22

TS 20
AA 21

So as you can see my AA was brought up by my RC score, and I'm worried about GC and QR compared to the rest of my scores. I'm happy with a 21 AA but will adcoms still see this as a good score considering my GC and QR are so low?

My application was mailed 7/16 to Nova, BU, NYU, Columbia, UW, UCSF, UCLA, VCU, Maryland

Do I need to add more schools? Does anyone have any suggestions for schools that like high RC, or are out of state friendly (Arizona resident, part of WICHE)

Thanks so much for everyone's input!

Not really sure however I would really like to get out of Arizona, lived here my whole life and not too thrilled about the way things are going here...

Gotcha, little too hot for ya huh. Completely understand. Well first off your QR section is fine, definitely the least important section. No one debates that. As for GC, most schools cut off is 17 so you're fine. You're definitely getting interviews my friend. Time to prep for those 😎

I think you'll be fine. I know someone else with scores even more random, with a QR of only 14, but all other scores being high... that has gotten at least one OOS interview offer already. I know all students are different, but QR is one of the least important sections to many schools and that 17 is still technically average... with all of your other scores being awesome.
