You...are seriously a god send haha I'm sorry for the negativity in my initial post... you're absolutely right about my attitude towards certain grades. I think I was extra stressed that day and ended up semi venting for no reason haha but I do take full responsibility for my actions and you're right. Thank you for pointing that out!
But in regards to your question: I was planning on taking my DAT again around july 15th-20th. When do you think I should submit my application? I keep seeing everyone talk about which batch they're in. How would one know if they're second, third, or fourth batch etc. ?
Oh and I will be graduating next spring and yes the courses I took spring 2014 are already factored into my GPA now! I'm going to start studying june 1st but i'm worried that may not be enough time but at the same time I don't want to be too late on applying since it's rolling admission.
P.s Your tough love was SOOOOO appreciated! thank you so so sososososoo much. I am beyond grateful for the time and effort you put into that response. Seriously. ahha thank you
Not to further annoy you.... but my anxiety is killin' me.. If I have everything in my August 1st.. will I still be considered early? Will be of any disadvantage? Sorry I know these are really specific questions and there is so much you could help with.. I just need to calm down right now -_- hahaNo problem, girl! We've all been there.
You are retaking your DAT at a really good time. You'll be able to have everything in by August, and that means you'll be early. For info about applying and the batches, read the AADSAS FAQs link in my signature. Search for the "first batch hullabaloo" thread, too!
It's totally your call on when to submit. You can submit as early as the first batch and just indicate that you're going to retake. Theoretically, schools *should* wait until your new scores are in to look at your application. However, since you'll be able to get everything early, I would just wait submit on the same day as you take your DAT. That way, the first time that schools see your application, it will be completely ready to go. There will be no option of them throwing you in the "reject" pile before seeing your new scores.
I would get everything ready to go with your app long before you take your DAT. Go ahead and send your LORs and your transcripts. Then, on the day you take your DAT, submit it. Your scores should come in right around the time your GPA is verified. It'll all be done by August.

Oh no no I meant to say that if everything is verified and ready by august 1st! I will send my app out before I take my test on july 18th! Thank you for all of your help.. I can't thank you enough. And I shall look at the link you just postedAs a note, if you SUBMIT on August 1st, you'll still have to wait 1-2 weeks for your transcripts to be verified before your app can be sent out. You'll still be fine, though!

I actually read through it all and found it to be immensly helpful and comforting haha I need to edit my thoughts before typing them I was planning on sending them out july 18th the day I take my exam or the 19th. Hopefully it'll be okay! thank youIf you read that thread I posted the link for, though, you'll see that I don't actually recommend sending out your app BEFORE you take your test!
