Seems to be a common question nowadays. Well, after all the painful days of studying, waiting, and agonizing over the dreaded exam, Brian took it on Monday :). We were just so ready to have it be done. Part of me didn't even care if he did awful on it just as long as he quit studying and hung out with me.
Seriously. He studied ALL THE TIME.
Good thing hard work often pays off :)!
I am generally against bragging, but this is something to be proud of! He did better than we expected. Better than he had on all his practice exams. He got a 22 overall and a 23 overall in science! Not only that, but he got a 29 in organic chemistry. 29. According to the percentiles, that's better than 99% of people who take it. And.... he hasn't even taken the 2nd half of o-chem yet. He taught himself the reactions he needed to for the test. Oh, and special thanks to "Chad's videos." If you're taking the DAT, Brian highly recommends them for o-chem. For those of you who wonder "well, is that even good?", an 18-20 is recommended to have a competitive score. So, yay!
I won't go into detail about all the individual parts, but I am just so proud of him! Way to go Brian! He is such a smartie. So, applications are in, fees are paid (well, the ones we know about so far anyway), and now we just... wait. It will be so exciting to see where we end up :).
So, SO glad the DAT is over. May we never have to talk about it again.
YAY!! So excited! Now get into some great school that is in a really cool place so we can come visit (somewhere close please?!)
ReplyDeleteYaaaay Brian!!! Now he really can do Gage's braces! ;)

ReplyDeleteGREAT scores!!
ReplyDeletewell done! That is some of the happiest news ever!!! I am sure hoping one of the schools you applied to was UCLA or USC- Enoch and I would sure love to have you guys around. Please say yes, or if not repent and apply, or just come and visit
