If I submit my application to aadsas and then take my DAT's like a month later, will they distribute my application to schools w/o the DAT's or do the scores have to be attached to my application when they send them out? Thanks in advance

AADSAS does NOT need your DAT scores. However your application will not be complete at the schools until they recieve the DAT scores and the AADSAS printout.

Just out of curiosity, looked up some threads and saw people saying they were accepted or got interviews based on transcript alone when they haven't even taken DAT yet, so do the schools not even consider your application w/o DAT scores, whats the real scoop????

I believe ADEA notes that all schools require the DAT exam for admission. Were these older threads you were reading? Some schools may give inteviews without recieving DAT scores but I'm sure those are very impressive candidates and their acceptances are not given until DAT scores are recieved.

Those students may have a prior DAT on record and they were referring to their retake which was not yet received.

a buddy of mine got accepted in the last cycle at howard before he had submitted his DAT scores. someone else here was talking about knowing someone who got accepted without an interview. in my opinion both are kinda bull since the rules should be enforced on everyone. but i guess there are "special accommodations" at times.
