School list:


I know my DAT score has a lot lacking, but a lot of that is due to my dyslexia and dysgraphia. Testing has never been a strong suit, but I have always made up for it in my effort and determination , and received decent grades in college. I am planning on retaking my DAT next week, and have been doing better on practice exams. But I am concerned that if I do not do better it may sway the Schools I have interviews with away from me.

I don’t really see the reason to retaking your DAT? You’ve got 3 interviews. That tells me schools were able to look past your DAT score and still extend an interview as they think you will succeed at their school.

I agree, if you do worse it might hurt you in the end. I’d honestly push it back past Dec 15th and take it if you don’t get in somewhere.

Where else did you apply?

Delay that DAT until you know you have been rejected at the schools on your list. Did you have documentation for requesting accommodations?

Is there a way to take the test and just not send it to the schools I have interviews with?

 

[Greenthumb10]

I’m just assuming I won’t get accepted before Dec 15 because next interview is November 27 and the last is Dec 6
