math major and you got a 22 in qr?

pls remove who's who among american colleges from everything

meharry is a hbcu, are you a minority?

 

[DRKDDDS]

Yes. I am a Math major and got a 22 in QR. There are Biology and Chemistry majors that score less than that in "their sections" and get praised. So why chastise me? Im sorry there were no singular value decompositions, matrix diagonalizations, integrations, residual analyses, or partial differential equations (I'm sorry if those words were too large for you) on the DAT to prove my mathematical capabilities.

Continuing, your post was of little to no help. No I am not a minority, so I will take that fact into account. Thank you for your opinion.

If anyone else has opinions on my school choices, not my major or my awards, please share. Thank you for your time.

I would remove Meharry and replace it with Pittsburgh. In all honesty, your stats are awesome! I don't think you'll have any problems!

Solid scores! I think you'll be a competitive applicant everywhere you apply.

How is your TS only 20? I know the DAT weighs that number in some weird fashion, but it doesn't make sense to me lol

TS is calculated through questions correct/100, not the average of each of the science sections.

Yes. I'm still surprised my approximation of (20*.4)+(20*.3)+(24*.3)=21.2 was so off.

 

[BabyShades]

I made a 20 on BIO, 20 in Chem, and 23 in OCHEM. My TS was 21 lol.

 

[predentalhopeful2015]

Yeah okay that confuses the heck out of me, but whatevs I guess there's weird mumbo jumbo they do to the raw scores to get the scaled scores. The percentages (I heard they finally took them off of the DAT) also confuse me sometimes lol.

Thanks! That's very helpful. I didn't realize that some scores were unattainable (I'm sure it depends on the scoring sheet). Still in the review section of my DAT prep so I haven't taken any full length exams yet.

Sorry to DRKDDS for derailing the thread!

What about Marquette?

 

[DRKDDDS]

To PREDENTALHOPEFUL2015, SJV, and all others in regards to my score:
Don't worry about "derailing" the thread! I have been wondering that myself.

To CLUTCHFANS:
I hadn't considered Marquette, though I am not positive why. I will look into it and consider it in my options. Thank you for the opinion.

To all others:
Thanks for the reassurance. This is a huge part of all of our lives, as you all know, and it is great having encouragement along the way.
