DAT question for 2017-2018 cycle

[PKU]

Hey guys,

Canadian here. I will likely be applying to us dental schools this cycle (2017-2018). I haven't taken the DAT yet. I know applications open June 1st 2017. My question is, when should be the latest I take the DAT to be good for this cycle.

Thanks in advance.

Hey, I took the november DAT. It was a mistake.

My applications weren't marked as complete until my CDAT was received by the schools (between Dec 27th and one school JUST got it). Schools classes are filling up, and it's really risky to have a complete application after the December 1st date. It's a huge disadvantage to apply with the November DAT, because of the 8 week processing period. I would recommend taking the american dat because the scores get there faster.

I'm probabaly not going to be applying to Canadian schools at all, so might as well take the aDAT. Stupid question, can I write it in Canada lol?

I think you can. I actually have no idea, because I didn't write it.

Did you hear back from any of the US schools this cycle?

If prep doesn't take as long as the mcat took me (3 months), I'll probabaly be able to push it in for mid June.
