DAT retake was on the 12th, should I pay secondaries?

I am wondering if I should just go ahead and submit all the secondaries that I can, even though schools will not have my scores for another 3 weeks? I do not want them reviewing my application based upon my old DAT scores as they were horrible.

So what should I do? 5 out of the 16 schools accepted a faxed copy of my DAT so I have finished those secondaries ASAP, but I am worried about the other ones. How long does it take to process the secondaries. If it takes 3-6 weeks then I should just finish up all the secondaries and pay all the fees right?

What should I do?

For the schools that do not accept faxed copy of your recent retake, do not send secondary fee until you can confirm they received your new scores. If you look at some threads, some people got rejected by schools based on their 1st test. It might be better to hold it off so that they can review your application with your higher scores.

Thats what I was thinking. I guess I can get all of them ready to go and just wait for the green light from ADA before I send em out.
