Hey guys, so what I know for sure is that I will submit my application on or near June 1st,2018. I will start my senior year this year and I have all prereqs checked off except orgo 2, which I plan to take in Spring '18.
Now my problem is that I won't be done with orgo 2 until after spring semester, and I have a short timeframe between graduation day to june 1st. Now, obviously I need time to study, and if I were to take the dat after spring, I'm looking at taking the exam on July 1st. The problem with that is if I dont do well, i basically need to wait another cycle ( oct 1st is too late imo) and all the money i spent on the app would go to waste.
Now, I can study for the dat between the winter break of '17-'18, roughly 4 weeks compared to the 6 I'd spend if i took it in july. The only problem would be that id self-teach myself orgo 2...
I just really want to get it all over with, and the fact that it's one shot in july is giving me anxiety. Im thinking if i fail/ dont do as well as i hoped on the winterbreak dat, i can retake it after 3 months. I also took a practice dat on bootcamp w/o any review and got 15 aa 17 pat...with lowest of low being in orgo...
Please help a homie out. Thank you all.
