To me, that is pretty crazy. It seems like all the emphasis is on the DAT and GPA consideration is pretty lax. This gets me slightly angry because I know I spent a lot of time studying for class and worked hard for a 3.83 in molecular biology from Berkeley. But just because I didn't do so well on the DAT (AA 21, PAT 17), it seems like I'm screwed for UOP. I don't understand why a test that took only four hours should be weighted more than GPA, which took four YEARS of hard work to assess.
I know I'm ranting here, but I really do feel pretty jipped. It just doesn't make any sense to me. If UOP has averages like that, then their entering class will be filled with the smart/lazy types. People who can score 20+ on the DAT should be able to get way higher than a 3.39 GPA, in my opinion. Oh well, whatever. Just gotta roll with it, I guess.
