is it too late? I hear many schools want you to take it no later than October. Should I apply for next cycle or do I still have a chance? I'll have my application in tomorrow which is already late. I need some opinions.

Taking DAT at the end of sep/early october actually won't matter too much in your case.

Assuming that you e-submit tomorrow, on Aug 27th. At this time, it will take AADSAS at least 4 weeks and up to 8 weeks to process your application, then they will need to send it out to respective schools, which usually takes around 1 wk - 2 wks. This means that your app won't be readily available to schools until somewhere in october the earlest - if you are EXTREMELY lucky and everything goes smooth. Again, I am assuming that you have already sent your transcript and LOR because if not those will further hold up your AADSAS application.

On the other hand, DAT scores usually take about 1 to 2 weeks to reach respective schools, so in the best case scenario they should get to the schools around the same time as your app.

Thanks, my transcripts are in but the LOR are not. I am sending a committee letter. I heard that can be sent in seperately

That can be sent separately, but keep in mind that schools will not consider your app. complete until you've got everything in.
