Applying this cycle, and just took the DAT.. mixed results

AA:22
GC:29
OCHEM: 23
Bio: 22
PAT: 21
RC:16
QR: 18

Usually, I do well on both RC and QR, on practice exams been getting 21-23 on each sections, but today I was really burned out after the break and it was to stay focus. My GPA is a 3.92 overall. So the question is should I retake it?
Thanks for the help

this is one of the tougher situations I have seen. I would usually say retake if you get below a 17 in RC, but ur gpa, AA, TS,PAT, gpa is phenomenal. My vote: Don't retake

Don't retake. QR is forgivable, killer scores, killer GPA. call your top pick just to be sure

I wouldn't retake. Instead, just apply to alot of schools (15+)... there is no way in hell a 22 + 3.9 applicant is getting 15 rejections (no way)

thanks guys... im very nervous, I applied to 12 schools and with the top choice of ucsf.. I looked at the website and it said that you only need a 17 on TS and 17 on AA.. so hopefully it is ok. Honestly, it wasn't hard the RC and QR but I could not sleep last night due to being too nervous and also excitement.
