Couple questions about applying/DAT retake

[medadvicewanted]

Hello everyone, I am planning on submitting my application on Thursday but I have to retake the DAT. The schools I have contacted, including my top choice, have said that they won't necessarily wait for a new DAT score to review my application. I am wondering if I should just submit my AADSAS with just 1 school designated (one of the lower ranked ones on my list) and then add the rest once I retake in order to both not be late in applying and also not get auto-rejected with my initial score. I am wondering if this is a good route to take.

DAT scores take around ~3 weeks to upload, so if you're taking it soon, it'll take awhile to process your applications for schools so you would be fine. If you're worried about it, only apply to 1 right now, but make sure you get the other ones added at least a month before their end cycle for interview offerings and such
