I absolutely hate math. Ran out of time.
Retake huh?!
 
no retake, i think your scores are fine. QR is the least important section, and you still managed to get a 19AA/19TS/21PAT, which is competitive. you also scored a 22 in RC, which is arguably the most significant section on the DAT. congrats.
 
Hey, I had the same experience: AA and TS were good and then a whopping 15 for QR. It was disheartening for sure to see that score. I say lets apply and see what happens! How does the rest of your application look? If anything though, QR is definitely the section to mess up on if any. Good luck!
 
Houston, San Antonio, UNLV, OU, Creighton, Tennessee, Louiseville, Washington lol $$!!

As long as you are instate in texas you might be "Ok" with these selections. Otherwise I would broaden the scope a little.

Tennessee = The following is posted on their website. "What is the minimum acceptable DAT score? While there is no minimum score, competetive applicants have a total score in the 150+ range with no scores lower than 17 in any section.

Washington = Highly favors in state residents. Many of the out of state residents are from the states involved with WICHE.

Houston/San Antonio = Highly favors in state residents

Take the time to look up the other schools. If you are only going to apply to 8 schools you need to make sure you have a decent chance at each of the schools. 👍
 
If you have decent grades in your math classes, which schools will definitely inspect now, then you will be fine. Schools are very lenient with QR as they understand QR is a filler section and people are tired at that point in the exam.
 
I think you'll be fine for those schools, but if you don't get interviews, call and ask schools if your QR score is limiting you and retake it.
