Did anyone write their DATs in AUG and been contacted for interviews already?
 
I "TOOK" my DATs on Aug 29th... 😀 ... nothing yet, except for a couple status changes on my AADSAS at BU & WVU.
 
I took the DAT Aug 2nd and have interviews at Nova and UMDNJ. I faxed my scores asap to most of the schools I applied to.
 
Took my DAT on Aug 16, faxed my scores on August 18, Got an interview from Baylor on Aug 21....

I'm still waiting to hear from San Antonio and Houston.
 
Took the DAT on Aug 22nd and got an interview invite from Buffalo on Sept. 2nd.

I took mine on July 31 and had them sent Aug. 2 ... interviews at VCU, Buffalo, and Case.
 
Took DAT August 12th, it seems that schools are either just updating my file and reviewing my app or haven't even done so yet. Only one invite from NYU.

Does anybody know how long you can wait before scheduling an interview? If you wait too long will it like void or cancel? I want to wait to see if I get invited to tufts and boston so I can schedule all three during the same week if possible to save a trip.
 
Why is it

"write their DAT"

"Gave the DAT"

It was bothering me too but i wasnt going to say anything, but once you bring it up, the proper vernacular is Take your DAT. You dont write it, thats the ADA's job.

In Canada you write it because our dat is still on paper🙂
 
wow. that stinks - i would really hate a paper DAT, but then I guess it must have its advantages as well (esp for RC)
 
Took my DAT Aug. 1 and invite @ USC (Sep. 5).

P.S. My stats really aren't that good either.

(3.0 Science, 3.4 Overall, 20/20/20, UC Berkeley)

*edit* whoops, guess my sci is 3.17...

I dont think you stats "aren't that good either" ... your GPA might be a bit low compared to most but at the same time UC Berkeley is a bit tougher and more respected than most schools

What do you all mean by faxing you scores? We can do that?? Please elaborate on how to do this. I took it on the 2nd. I want to fax my scores as well.
 
one question, can you actually fax your own copy of the DAT scores??? I thought that is not official???

It depends on the school. I called the school that I had my unofficial scores faxed to and they said that it was okay until my official scores were received b/c I had everything else in. You should call the schools and ask if they allow this.
