I hope all has been well SDNers,

I have a couple questions and a few problems. At the end of the post is a list of the remaining classes I will be taking until my estimated grad dat spring 11'.

I believe in order for students to get into dental school the following semester after they graduate, they must take the DAT the summer of junior year of college?

Being that Im a junior now and haven't taken the necessary requirements to take The DAT test (Gen chem II, org 1 and 2, physics 1 and 2, I wont be able to. So I was looking for some advice as to when a good time to take the test would be. I wont be done with org1,2 and phy1,2 until fall 10'. I know early application to dental schools starts June 1st, so when do you think would be a smart time to take the test? right after fall semester, during, after graduation? When should I start studying, according to my semester load towards graduation?

Does this also mean if I apply June 11', I would be applying for acceptance into next year cycle of Fall 12' and would have a year off after graduation?
Im sorry for all of the questions, I needed assistance, and I thought who more to ask than dental school graduates, applicants and fellow pre-dents.. I greatly appreciate yours answers and comments.
