Hello,

I was just wondering if you guys think retaking the DAT in late September is way to late to be considered for this cycle.

Thanks

quick, i think its late. i did it last year. you should really try for august the latest if you want a pre dec. interview.

Well i'm taking it on Monday but if I don't do as well as planed then ill have to take it late Sep. Is a post-Dec interview bad?

Yes, some schools are full by dec 1st, most I'd say are 50-70% full by that time, so your chances are slim.

You could take it Mid July instead of Monday if u are not prepared, thats what I would recommend doing.

It's hard decision here. If OP would not do well in July, then a retake in October could be even worse.

True...but theres no guarentee he would do better in sept/oct. It depends how he/she has been doing on the practice exams and how he/she feels about the test. Gluck!
