What are the rest of your scores?

1. You can't apply in April.

2. Are you predicting your DAT scores...?

Well I applied in August with an 18 AA and 3.72Ogpa and got in just fine. However, everyone's application is different. The higher your DAT score and the earlier you apply the better.

Why are you imagining your retake pushing you all the back to September? You should be able to re-take in July and be done in August, which is still not great but not as questionable as September.

If you stick with your 18 DAT, you will most likely get post-dec interviews... Assuming you have great LORs, good PS, and a plethora amount of EC's and nice shadowing work.

But to just echo the fact that the higher your DAT score is.. the better chance of getting in.

I would aim for higher than an 18AA in two weeks. Push the test back if you don't feel ready. Don't plan to retake it.
