Tufts doesn't look at QR score?

So I called Tufts today to see how they weigh specific sections of the DAT and the lady told me that they don't even look at the QR score...on the AA,TS,PAT, and RC sections...is this true???

Well, I'm sure they wouldn't like a 12 QR, but a 25 QR would probably be a nice feather in your cap. The general consensus though, is that QR doesn't particularly matter at most schools, especially if all of your other scores are significantly higher - ie, I've seen a number of people get in with 13/14 QR. I've heard dental school faculty say "QR - Why? It's not like they're going to be taking math classes."

Yea, the lady literally said that they don't even look at it...I guess "technically" they do since it's in your AA though. But I can only hope they look past mine.
