So I applied this cycle but its not looking good as I have no interviews yet. My gpa is on the low side and I have been taking classes to raise it. I recently decided on possibly retaking my DATs. What do you all think?

Bio: 19
GC: 21
OC: 19
PAT: 23
RC: 23
QR: 19
AA: 20
TS: 19

I also was thinking what if I applied to schools on June 1st with my current DAT scores and then retook my DAT in July. Would the schools wait on my score or can I be looked at with my current scores and then just send them my new scores when those come in.Would I be on hold? Would they even know Im planning on retaking it?

Thank you!

A 20AA is fine. theres no need to retake. Your real problem is your GPA. If you retake and score lower you might be screwed since some schools tend to look at the latest DAT score, even if its the lower one.

I got in with a 20AA, but my sGPA and BCP were very high.

I agree with above. Your DAT is fine. Just bring up your GPA. Good luck!
