Hey everyone,

I just took my DAT and I didnt do as good as I would have liked too. My question is, if I retake will it hold my application up because I would have to wait till september to retake. I made 18TS and 18AA but I made 16s in gen Chem and organic chem. I have a high GPA 3.8ish, and I talked to one school which said those 16s would be a liability. I have read on here that I can retake but not tell some schools, while asking others to hold my application til I get my new scores in. I guess I just need some clarity on how that works. Do I just call the schools I want to get my new scores and not the rest or do I just mark the retake section on my AADSAS, since I already submitted it.

I typed this from my phone so I hope this makes since.

Thanks
