Hi you guys

I just got my Canadian DAT scores back and I was wondering if you Sdners could give me some advice.
My situation goes like this
I applied on Oct/15 (sent out Oct/22) with my American DAT score. I have received one interview (Jan) and no words from other schools (applied to total 10 schools).
I decided not to send my Canadian DAT scores to American schools because I honestly did not think I could do better than my American DAT (AA:24, TS: 21, PAT: 25, RC: 28) but yay!! I did.
The problem is now that if I send my DAT scores in using AADSAS it will take probably over a month to get them sent out whereas if I send them out individually, it will cost me over 300.

Also, would it even make any difference? It is really late in the game.
My new DAT scores are (AA: 26, TS: 26, PAT: 27)
 
You could try asking the schools if you could fax/email them a copy of your new unofficial scores. Can't hurt. Congrats on improving that TS
 
It is unlikely that your DAT score is what is holding you back. Not all DS accept the Canadian DAT; comparing the two versions might be like comparing apples and oranges.
 
I'm surprised that you retook the DAT with those scores... I would guess that it's because you applied late. I'd just wait it out and if you're unlucky, apply next cycle with your new scores.

I know but all the schools I applied to do accept cDAT. Also although the two are different I'm sure the schools consider them the same? Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm going to guess that what is holding me back is the late application but I can't do anything about that now.
