I called Western today to talk about my DAT score. Apparently, they do not consider TS to be important. He told me that they focus most on 3 areas of DAT: 1/ Perceptual ability, 2/Reading comprehension, 3/Math.

OK, then i am out!!!
 
No, don't give up ! I don't have a strong RC score, but I got an interview invite!
 
That' interesting, they emphasize areas we don't emphasize on tests hmmmmm.
Keep your hope and be positive , it's not the end of the cycle.
 
I got an interview invitation yesterday from Western University. She called me yesterday around 5:00pm and gave me four different dates I can choose. I do not have a strong RC score, I have 18RC/25PAT/19Math. I thought I got an interview because I have a good TS scores. I guess not.

Dont give up....

Considering the amount of math that we have to do in our first and second year in dental school, I can see why they would be really focused on accepting students with a high QR score! Please people, cmon!

Any school that you call and speak with the reps are going to give you the same written lecture, "Yes we are considering high scores" this and that, and it just continues.

As a student, think about it for a second. it is their very fist class, they want highly motivated students to do well in the national boards so that they can have a good name. Not really considering students who have a high TS is like considering a student with no arms for acceptance.

It is my perspective, but the reality of it is that I know students with 15-18 QR scores that have invitations. Take care.

hey dental, when do you have your interview? I scheduled mine yesterday too.. i am trying to see if we have the same date.
 
My PAT score was my lowest score, and I interviewed at WesternU today - so I don't think they have any hard cut-offs.

I scheduled mine on November 21 which is Friday. The lady gave me 11/4, 11/7, 11/17 and 11/21 and I picked 11/17 because I have four interviews before Western U so 11/17 is best time for me.
How about you??

Re-read what you wrote: you have conflicting dates.
