3.2 sGPA

18 PAT
15 QR
24 RC
21 OC
20 Bio
19 GC
TS 20
AA 20

The QR score really kills me and so does the PAT. do u think i should retake it or just let it be since my science scores are ok?

retake it not necessary. i think you are good. you scored GREAT on the RC ( very important section) and did pretty well in everything else. QR is the least important section, and PAT is looked upon differently depending on the school( some schools love it, some schools dont value it too heavily). I think you will get in, good luck.

Retake will depend on how many schools your applying to.

I'd aim at 15-20 schools if retake is out.

whats the overall GPA?

I wouldn't worry about re-taking the DAT. Just research the schools you are applying to and make sure they don't have any automatic cut-offs for the DAT. I think Nova is pretty strict and will reject you automatically with a 15 on QR, but don't quote me on that. I would contact them now if you want to apply there, and you should get an answer from them within a few months.

With your GPA and DAT scores, I'd apply to at least 10-15 schools.

dont worry about QR, most schools arent big on it.
BING 12 found this a while back and it states what schools look at and what's important to them

If you dont mind me asking - what do you think contributed to your monster RC score? Any good resources or methods or talents you have?

I used kaplan and crack the DAT reading program in preparation. i tried to work on some science and perception before i would work on the reading section so i would be prepared for the mental transition. the essays on the actual test were a bit longer than those i had prepared with. I always used a timer to train myself to get through each passage in about 20 mins.
