Question about DAT/applying?

Ok, I was originally scheduled to take the DAT on July 22nd. I rescheduled to August 10th. I feel like I've made great progress, and that I could PROBABLY get a 19-20 in each section if I took the test sometime in the next 7-10 days. My GPA isn't stellar (3.3/3.4), so I know I needed to score really high to give me a decent shot. I am applying to these schools (Temple, Mississippi, Tennessee-Memphis, Loma Linda, Western, Midwestern, AZ, UNLV) and I was just wondering if I should go ahead and bite the bullet and get it over with. My perceptual skills are increasing (I scored a 22 on CDP today, BUT it was untimed). I feel like I could study Biology for the next 3 years and still not be ready. On Topscore, I've been getting 20-23 GC, 19-21 OC, 20-21 QR, 22-24RC). Biology, of course, can be anything from a 17-23, depending on what test you get and how lucky you are. What do you all think? Is that two weeks worth it, meaning will it give me that far of an advantage to get my DAT scores in just two weeks earlier? Thanks so much in advance.

If you submit Aug 10th, your apps will probably be mailed out Aug 27th or Sep 3rd.. This results in not receiving any pre-dec interview invites.
Right now, it's getting later into the cycle, meaning you should try to hurry up. Or you can take your time more, take the test in september, rape the DAT and apply next cycle June 3rd. 👍

So, I have already paid and submitted my AASDAS and other things. The only thing on hold are my DAT scores. The schools all have my info. Not sure if I made that clear, maybe it doesn't make a big difference. I've already paid out so much money this cycle so maybe I'll just see how I do on the DAT. Of course, if I don't do so well, then I'll have to wait until next cycle. I had no idea that it took so long for the schools to get my DAT scores 🙁 That sucks!!!
