Hi.

I've taken DAT and received 21 AA.
And I will be filling out application with this score.
But I want to take DAT one more time and give me one more chance.
But do I need to indicate on the application that I will be taking DAT for the second time? I don't even know when I will be taking nor that I will be surely taking it for the second time; it will depend primarily on how much I prepare and how ready I feel.

My GPA is about 3.3 range and that's why I thought I needed to get my DAT score higher.

Is 3.3 your overall? If you have higher science/BCP then I think you are pretty much set, since schools emphasize more on science/bcp than overall.
 
DONT RETAKE THE DAT!! What are your scores overall?? I mean your AA is 21 sure, but what is the breakdown. If your sciences are high then I wouldn't retake the dat. BIO OCHEM and GC are low with a high RC and high QR then I might consider retaking. Also what is your PAT? Where are you wanting to get into?
