Hi I have about 20 schools on my list :

Tufts

I am a NJ resident and my overall gpa is 3.55 and my science is 3.36, my DAT AA/PAT/TS is 20/16/20

Any suggestions or advice on my school list.
This is also my second time applying and the first time I was waitlisted at rutgers.
My first time applying i only applied to 7 schools, and applied way late in november.

Use these links and do some research on what schools interview/accept OOS students. Your DAT is a bit low to get into Rutgers (not saying you have a bad DAT at all just lower than their average and your PAT is low in general) and they give no preference to NJ residents so being a NJ resident won't help you at all unfortunately
Thanks! yeah I am just reapplying to Rutgers since I got waitlisted last time, but yeah my PAT is low I know but I don't want to retake the DAT just for the PAT section.
