How would delaying my DAT for another week affect my application?

My DAT is next Tuesday, but I don't feel like I am ready for it. I need more time to refine my skills on RC and PAT. I have been averaging around 18 on RC and 20 on PAT by using Bootcamp. However, I still struggle with angle ranking (8 of 15), so I want to work on that. I also haven't taken a full length practice yet. Having another extra week would definitely help. However, how would that impact my application? Would that place me out of the early applicants pool (or I am already out...)? Lastly, should I delay my DAT for another week?

Won't affect the things much. Just make sure the rest of your app is complete, LOR, transcripts, etc.

Not much.

I just checked the website. The only available date is July 30, two weeks after my original date....... Should I still reschedule?

Not much.

What about two weeks later...? That's the only available date..

And by having everything else ready, do you mean I should ask my school to send my transcript and committee letter now?

You should have asked them last month because transcripts may take anywhere from a day to 6 weeks to verify

It's already July.....so I should I send in my transcript and LOR right now?
