I know that reading comp is one of the more important tests but I'm a slow reader and ran out of time. Are my scores still pretty good? and where do u think I have a shot at getting into?

bro, reading comp is kinda high up there in terms of importance for DAT sections. I am sure you still have a shot at many of those schools but if anything were to lower your chances right now it would be that. Can't decide if a retake is worth it though, only because I think some of those schools will still give you a shot with that score. Depends on where you really want to go I guess.

Your GPA is great, but I am really not sure about how the 16 in RC is going to factor in. Are you an URM by any chance? (Seeing how you applied to Howard and Meharry). I hate to say this but if I were you I would probably opt for a retake.

Same here. I scored 16 RC on my last DAT despite having scored 19 RC on my first two DATs. But your AA and GPA look good, so you might be able to fly with that. I wouldn't worry about retaking it just yet.

You are going to have problems with Maryland 🙂

RC is very important to MD but I think you are totally fine because your GPA is high.
