Ok so you can definitely submit before you take the DAT! Thank you
Hi - first post here!
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a timeline as far as the application process/DAT. I know everyone says "early, early, early!" but I was thinking of taking the DAT June 10th. Is this too late to be taking it? Also - if I am not happy with this score (I'm confident that I will be but just in case!) I would be retaking it Sept 9-11th per the whole waiting 90 days before retaking it thing... Another timeline question I had was whether me taking Orgo II this summer (july9-Aug20) would make admissions offices delay looking at my application? Or is it okay because it's a planned course/I'd be matriculated in it?
Any links that address this or suggestions/advice of your own would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: Should mention that I'm graduating in May and am taking a gap year and therefore hoping to enroll 2016.
I think it should be fine if you just sent in your application in July and update them with your Orgo II score once you receive them. I was in a similar situation this cycle and had to take 2 quarters worth of Physics last summer. I just indicated it as a "planned" course when I submitted my application and was accepted to multiple schools in December. I ended up sending my schools an unofficial academic update in Aug/Sept for my Physics grades (ie. emailed a screen shot of my grades to the schools I interviewed at as soon as my Physics grades were available instead of sending via AADSAS in November). I don't think it affected the schools' decisions much, if at all.Yes so I'm applying June 2015 in order to enroll in 2016, so I'm taking a gap year. June 10th is the earliest I think I'd be ready to take it as I'm graduating in May and want to dedicate a couple of weeks of just studying for the DAT (as opposed to what I'll be doing all this semester -- which is my 15 credit hours, working part time, and also studying for the DAT). My issue is that due to scheduling and professor conflicts I haven't been able to take Orgo II's lecture. So, I was going to take in this summer July9-Aug20th. So if I sent my application in by, say, July 1st could I just update them with my score from my Orgo II lecture? I'm taking biochemistry this semester, if that changes anything.
Thanks so much! I cannot believe I never used this website before - everyone's so nice! Haha congrats on your acceptances... Where did you end up?
