I read everywhere on this forum that we can send in the application early and take the DAT afterwards because it taeks 4-6 weeks for AADSAS to send it in. But when I look at http://www.adea.org/dental_educatio...ents/2010SupplementalTableCompleteList(2).pdf , for many schools it says send in DAT scores same time as AADSAS material.

So question is, can I submit application now and take the DAT (for my first time) next month?

ideally the schools would prefer to receive your application and your DAT scores at the same time so they'll have everything but it's not like they're gonna throw away your file if they don't get your DAT scores yet. if you submit your application now and your DAT scores next month, they probably won't look at your application until they receive your scores.

Submit now. They will not receive your app for a while anyways. You have to wait for AADSAS to send it out.
