So basically I scheduled myself to take the DAT tomorrow because I wanted to get my application completed as soon as possible, but the problem is that I really don't feel ready (I've been scoring like 14s and 15s in the sciences with topscore...) and it is past the 48 hr period to reschedule it. I was thinking I would just not show and retake it again a little later. I know I'll lose some money, but I think it's better than doing really bad on the DAT.
I really need to do well on the DAT because of my bad undergrad GPA of 2.7 according to my university. (I'm currently working on a MS in biotech. and getting a 3.8 so far). I was hoping I could just cram because I should have learned all this stuff before, but it just isn't working out so well...
So my main question is that even though I scheduled the test for tomorrow, because I won't show, I can schedule another one at the next open date correct? I don't have to wait the 90 days as if I had actually taken the test.
And my last question is if I do take it, can I use whatever score i get to apply (not telling them I'll retake it so that they'll look at my application sooner), then ask the schools to reconsider me when i retake it?
Thanks
