Bad luck, scored 490 with GPA 3.9
I just got a 490 on my ADAT, and honestly I’m devastated because I know I could’ve done much better. My GPA is 3.9, I passed the INBDE on my first attempt, and I prepared really hard for the ADAT. The problem was that I completely panicked during the exam, ran out of time, and couldn’t control my stress.
I booked my retake for the end of August . but the application deadline for some schools is July 2, and my retake score probably won’t be available until August.
Do you think it’s still worth applying now with my current score and then updating schools with a new score later? Has anyone been in a similar situation before?
Also, with a 490 ADAT, do I realistically still have a chance at some universities, or would applying this cycle just be wasting money? I’d really appreciate honest advice from anyone who’s gone through this process.
