I have a question fro all yo out there. I want to send in my online applaiction by next week, but here si the trouble. My last DAT was an 18, but I had a 14 in PAT and QR, and I plan on retaking it the end of July. What do I do? Should I send in my old scores now, and then jsut update them. Or, if I dont send in my old scores, does that mean my application wotn be processed early. Basically, if I list a score on the AADSSAS for the DAT, do I still need to sned the old score, ? I am kind of confused

i got a 20AA and 16 PAT and i'm considering retaking it. however, i heard that you should send in your scores now and tell them you are taking it again. they might just interview you before you get your second scores in. how's ur gpa

When you retake the DAT your old scores will be reported along side your new ones by the ADA anyway so go ahead and list your old scores and indicate on your application that you will be retaking the test in July.
 
yeah, but wontt hat delay my app. I mean, if i only lsit my old scores and dotn have the old scores sent, and then if i tahe the DAT again in like jul, wont that defeat the whole purpose of applying early?
