hey guys i plan to apply early this year late july/early august. i was wondering (and expecting) to take one more upper div either summer or fall to bring up my gpa. now will that be too late to submit after fall semester? or spring semester? my GPA is borderline so i want to know

also when would the latest time to take DAT

with a borderline GPA, I would apply as early as possible like June and have everything in by then. the slight GPA boost that you might get from just one class is not worth applying later. I think you can submit an academic update via aadsas after fall semester.

The last time to take the DAT should be May if you want to be in the first few batches of the application cycle. But since you are applying later, you should have take your DAT by early july. It would be too late to apply after the new courses. Apply as early as you can, then you can always update your GPA midway in the application cycle.
