My plan A is to apply this June (for 2013) and take the DAT in August and then I got myself thinking. I could finish my pre-req's by August and what if I applied for 2012 matriculation? I would need to take the DAT much sooner, and I know it's late.

I think my chances are pretty good for 2013. I've been an RDH for over 15 years, I have a strong personal statement, 3.9 GPA this last semester (have 2 kids and work part-time), I have volunteered, and I have 2 professors so far that want to write LORs for me. I have about 120 credits from various colleges over the years. I'm currently working on my bachelor's in biology.

I'm planning on calling the school that interests me to see if it's worth a shot but I figured I would ask here as well.

There's your answer. No use in getting unreliable amateur responses when you can go straight to the source.

As long as you are in the process of getting your bachelors I think you're good to go! I got into Upenn without one and have interviews at UOP, UCLA, USC, and NOVA so far.

No, no, no. It is much too late to apply for 2012 matriculation - lots of schools are already done giving interviews. It would be a complete waste of money, especially given that you haven't taken the DAT.

I also haven't taken physics yet. I just looked on the school's website and they don't grant interviews without all prereqs done.
I hadn't planned on taking physics this summer but I may have to after-all.
