Hello all! To explain my situation a little, I took the DAT back in 2014 after finishing undergrad. Then I found a part time job and saved up to apply for this 2015-2016 cycle. Long story short, I only had one LOR of science instead of two which a majority of the schools I applied to required. I was able to get a LOR late in November for my secondaries and now fast forward to today I am on two waitlists. With the next cycle nearing, I was wondering if I should retake the DAT (AA 21, TS 20, and PAT 21) since its been quite a while and attempt to score higher or just apply again with the old score? GPA is about a 3.5 if you were wondering and lots of ECs.

Absolutely not. Make sure the rest of your app is solid before you reapply. Your stats are good.

I wouldn't recomend retaking it unless you can guarantee that you'll do better because those are already decent scores. Something else on your apps is holding you back, not gpa or dat.
