I noticed that some schools do not take DAT scores older than 2 years old. My most recent DAT is on April 29, 2010. I was wondering if the schools will accept my scores or require me to retake DAT.
My DAT was outdated for 7 out of 20 schools I applied to. I don't know if I should retake my DAT or just not do any supplemental applications for those 7 schools.
Thanks!

As a rough rule of thumb, the oldest DAT scores schools will accept will vary between 2-3 years for most schools. In your case, if you do not want to retake DAT, then you may have to pick and choose which schools to apply to. Those schools to which your DAT is outdated may even notify you to retake, because they will see the test date in your application. Most supplements are required by schools so not completing them may delay your application.
