Unless you're packing mid 20's, flirting with 4's and have a four-leaf clover in you're pocket, you're really pushing it this late. It's safe to say over 10,000 applicants have already submitted at this point.

You can't take those deadlines literally.
The latest I heard of someone "submitting" was November. But they took their DAT in Novermber, and their app was in around September I believe. I agree with the consensus that at this point, it's too late in the game. Unless, like jeffity said, you have a remarkable application.

DAT 17 never. DAT 20 in August at the latest.

I was in the same situation as you last year and I am so happy I waited for the next cycle to apply. If I had applied last October I really don't think I would have gotten the interviews that I have now.
Wait so that you don't waste thousands of dollars...

With a 14, 15, and 16 in O chem, RC, and QR - a retake is an absolute must if you want any chance of admittance. Applying this cycle would absolutely be a waste of money, time, and effort. Your time would be far better spent continuing to get good grades in school, shadowing, and studying for a DAT retake.
