Is waiting another weeks to e-submit my application bad idea?
I have my whole application finished, however my transcripts have not yet arrived, and i'm yet to take the DAT... I'm thinking I might want to first see what my scores are first... Does anyone know the significance of a week during this time? 😕

Also is it true the later you apply (after september), the less likely you are going to be considered? I was told that schools usually fill up their classes based on the earliest applicants (first two months or so) and use the rest as fill ins, perhaps only looking considering exceptional students maybe?


And in regards to the actual application... is it fine to put down short statements (5 - 10 words long) descibing acitivies done rather than wasting character spaces on writing complete sentences? ...175 characters is nothing!

Fundamentally you can apply in a week and still be OK. However, I don't think those are really good reasons to delay your application. You will want your app submitted asap, so that when AADSAS receives your transcripts, they don't have to wait for you to submit. And why wait for your DAT scores to submit? It can take several weeks for them to post to your AADSAS application anyway.

Applying in September or later severely reduces your chances. Many schools have already held interviews by September.
