Hello!

I will be applying this years cycle (June 2014), but I am unsure of the clear details of how my application will be sent to my selected schools. I have managed to complete my application on a Word document already so I am well prepared for when applications open. But I have yet to take my DAT, which I plan to take the first week of July on the 3rd. I completely understand that the schools will not view my application until I have all the criteria submitted including, application, LOR's, LOI, transcripts, and DAT score. More so, I would like to have everything ready for the school to view and to only be awaiting my DAT scores.

So, will AADSAS send the schools all of my submitted information without my DAT scores? I don't want to rush my DAT testing time, but I also don't want to delay the process of my application at AADSAS, so that is why I am planning to submit my application before taking my DAT.

Thank you for any insight and help!

Yes, everything will be sent without your DAT scores. Once you scores are processed, they will go out in the next mailing.
Thank you! I appreciate your help!
I'm not worried so much about being in the first batch, since I will be taking my DAT later. I just want to make sure I am relatively early and that taking the DAT at a later time wont put me too far behind.

June/July is still "early", I wouldn't worry about it too much since you plan to submit during that period.
