Question about updating DAT score

I'm reapplying this year, and I was wondering if I should indicate in my application that I am going to retake the DAT again.
If so, will they delay reviewing my application until I submit my new DAT score? (I'll be taking it in August).

BTW, my ave DAT was 18 last time.

Most schools will wait until you retake before reviewing your application. What is the breakdown of your DATs? An 18 isn't very competitive as its just average.

I don't have the breakdowns with me right now.
So.. should I just indicate the retake, and let them wait until Aug?
Isn't it going to be too late?

Well if you don't want them to wait for your new DAT score then what's the point of retaking it. If you don't think you'll do considerably better on the retake then maybe you shouldn't bother?
