sending in canadian DAT scores

[boomshakalaka1]

Hi, I had done my DAT on Nov/5/2011 but I had not applied to any schools, I'm planning to apply for the June 4th 2013 cycle and I was wondering (I guess maybe this is something only Canadian students would know), if i should ask for the CDA to send my DAT scores now to the schools i want to apply for, what i mean is, if i send it now, will the schools keep those scores for the upcoming june 4th cycle or will they disregard it if they get the scores before june 4th.. i know, this sounds like the dumbest question..

nope

you can reorder the scores to be sent when the cycle starts

it's on cda's website i think

You should only send 'em in once your application is open. Neither AADSAS nor the schools know who you are yet.

hey but if the CDN DAT scores take 10 days to process the order and 4-6 weeks to arrive in US, and because the cycle opens on june 4th, shouldn't i be requesting to send them right now as of early may?

I took the Canadian DAT a year before I applied and had the scores sent out to my respective schools. Some schools kept a record and some didn't so I had to pay to have the CDA resend my scores to those schools. If I were you I would just give them a call to see if they have them when you apply.
