im in a dilemma
i have been posting several threads already about my low rc

since my gpa is low(3.2 both science/and cumulative)
i was planning to apply as early as i can during June

with low RC score (16) and above average DAT (20/20/21)

i was just wondering whether i should just apply early during June

or wait until september so i can retake my DAT and apply.


which one will give me a better chance?
( i know i do not have much chance, but still which one will be better for me?)

Apply early & then update your dat score whenever U take it.

This is a no brainer(applying as early as possible)bc U have to have your transcripts, grades, application processed and that takes time.

I applied in June & updated my dat(taken in end of August).

You should apply early so the schools receive your application. Then you should call the schools and tell them you are retaking the DATs so they can put your application on hold so when you do finally get the new scores, you can send them in ASAP and they can remove the hold instead of waiting for AADSAS to process everything then send to the schools.

Apply early. However, take your time on your application. Make sure that you don't leave any grammatical errors and that everything is put together in the best way possible. It is not a good feeling to send in your application and then later realize you had some errors. Good luck! 👍

The worse your grades and stats are, the more important it is to apply early.
