Hi everyone,

I took the DAT last week and didn't do as well as I thought. Now I'm very concerned w/ my overall application. So...I'm going to post my stats here and if you can give me some feedback on how to improve my overall status I'll appreciate it.

DAT:
PAT: 20
Quantitative Reasoning: 15
Reading Comprehension: 17
Biology: 18
General Chemistry: 19
Organic Chemistry: 19
Total Science: 19
Academic Average: 18

GPA:
Overall: 3.56
Science: 3.2

Dental Experience:
-I worked as a dentist's assistant for about 380 hours in 2005. (is this too old from now? Should I get some new clinical experiences?)

Besides, I also had some research experiences as I volunteered for one of my undergraduate professors in his research laboratory.

Thanks very much.

Sorry but your going to have to retake, 15 is too low for most schools, usually the cut of is 17, call up some schools and ask for cut offs. best of luck!
 
yea, doesn't look so good, none of your scores are above 20 and your AA is probably got rounded off to 18. Retake your DAT and get at least 20 and you should be fine though.
