If you've been placed on waitlists, is it bad to retake your DAT as you wait? Just in case I don't get in, I'm going to have to retake them and wanted to have it done by end of March. I figured I might as well do it now and if I get a good enough score, send them to the schools I'm waitlisted at
 
It's not bad to retake your DAT if you are waitlisted with the intention of reapplying the following year. They probably won't look at your DAT score if you are waitlisted since you are planning to take it in March and the schools will most likely be filled by then and those who are waitlisted will be assigned numbers if that is the case. I would recommend sending them a letter of intent to state that you are interested in their school. Some if not many schools will keep that in your personal file when they do a review of it. 🙂
