You should take the DAT during the SPRING of Junior year, so that your application will include your DAT scores, which open during 1st week of June. Apply to a good amount of mid-schools (GPAs and DATs that are equal to yours), and a couple of safeties and a couple of reach. Obviously you must consider a lot of factors, which include cost, location, friendliness to out of state students, facilities, structure of curriculum, etc.
