Hey everyone,
I applied to 16 dental schools this past cycle, 3 interviews in February/March, and just finished a science Masters program. I did very well in my masters program. My sGPA is 3.06, BCP is 3.10, cGPA is 3.25 after the Masters (which I had close to 4.0).
I had taken my DAT last year in March 2013 and got a 19. I plan to re-take it again this August or September. Which option is better:
Option 1: When I will be filling out my AADSAS, is it better to put my previous DAT test date and information down, so it'll come up in their files as 19 and still take my test in September and submit that to all of the schools after I have taken it.
Option 2: Just put on AADSAS when I plan to take it and then send it to all of the schools after I have taken it.
If I go with the Option #1, then my application will be completed and reviewed early. Then, I can send my updated DAT score to the school in September for updating it. Would this hurt my application at all or should I just stick to option #2.
