Need Advice!

Hi guys,

I took my DAT yesterday and need some advice about what to do next. My scores are as follows:

Biology: 21
Chemistry: 21
Organic Chemistry: 20
Reading Comprehension: 19
Quantitative Reasoning: 22
PAT: 16
Total Science: 21
Academic Average: 21

I know that my PAT score is really really low. My mind pretty much blanked out during that section and I ended up running out of time and having to skip at least 5 questions. I am contemplating taking the test again to improve on the PAT and possibly on some of the other sections but that will have to be in 3 months. My original plan was to start and send my applications as soon as they come out (June 1st I believe) when my admissions chances are the highest. Can I send out my application and tell them I am going to take the DAT in about 2-3 months and then just update my scores when I retake the test. Would this hurt my chances of admission?

Thanks and I would really appreciate any advice I can get!
