[JLT223]

The only people who truly know that are the ADEA.

im actually not bad at math, also not amazing, but I always get B+ and A-
I just ran out of time. I guessed around 18 questions without even having time to read them to make educated guesses.

did you run out of time in the QR on practice exams?

 

[Toothout]

its not horrible, ur GPA is pretty good, where did u apply?

If I actually take the DAT again, I'm not taking the break. I think I relaxed toooo much. When I realized I was working slow, it was too late. Look at that RC. I always got 18-23 in datbootcamp. Same with math.

 

[Toothout]

did you run out of time in the QR on practice exams?

Never

I know there's more than 15 there 😛 my math is not actually that bad lol. I just haven't submitted since I'm waiting for the FAP. I do wanna narrow it down to 15 though

 

[Toothout]

I thought the math was the worst section , so annoying, many things I could have done had I had a decent calculator or an extra 2 min, didn't run out of time but still it was my worst section...

Actually I think they fixed the calc. My didn't have any delay. I just took it last Monday. I was actually scheduled for May, but they rescheduled me because the week of my exam they were going to do some maintenance. I figured that they fixed that.

you've got some decent shots at some of these schools, I wouldn't be surprised if you got some interviews/acceptances being how ur GPA and other app stuff is good

Which ones would you take out (without taking out UCONN or Columbia)

 

[Toothout]

something doesn't add up here

I know. I was as surprised as you. Still in shock

 

[FlowerGirl35]

I know. I was as surprised as you. Still in shock

pm your kik, we should talk 😛

 

[Toothout]

buffalo unless youre from ny cause its pretty selective, and texas unless youre from there for the same reason, Columbia and Uconn will also be tough

I actually only have Texas there because I know they accepted someone QR 12 last year lol. But he is a Texas resident. So, I might take it out. (UCONN also accepted a QR 13 two years ago; Columbia is just my dream 🙁)

 

[Toothout]

pm your kik, we should talk 😛

Me? I dont have a message from you.

 

[Toothout]

Oh I see , yeah uconn is also incredibly selective , and yeah Columbia is a pretty special place , best interview I had by far

How many cycles ago did you apply? Where did you decide to go?

 

[Toothout]

I applied in the previous cycle, I'm going to Columbia

Congrats! And that gives me hope lol. You said you had QR 16

 

[JLT223]

I had a QR of 17! No shame lol

 

[Toothout]

I had a QR of 17! No shame lol

🙄You know mine is 13. I have no shame also because I know that it doesn't represent my actual QR. Screenshot this, I'm going to be accepted in this cycle with that 13!
PS: wish me luck

 

[Toothout]
