planning on taking it again after im done w my master's in the winter
My personal thoughts are your chances are not great this cycle.

Ideally you could retake the DAT and get into a TX school as that will be most cost effective for you. That may be next cycle though.

I would much rather wait a cycle and go to a TX school than pay 400k+ for NYU/MWU/ASDOH etc.
