Hello fellow predents/dents

I am in need of a retake which I will take aug 21st. But I have everything prepped now, should I fill out the application and submit with my dat score (18aa 17ts 23 pat) and tell them I am retaking? OR should I not and wait to submit when i retake, so august (which is pretty late)?

gpa 3.5 3.4sgpa 200+shadowing 1000+volunteering, strong LRs, PS.

Thanks, I am sure there are others like me who need to know what to do.

Do it, apply in June. Just dont forget to note in your app when youre doing the retake; there will be a place where you can tell them youre taking it again.

Getting your app out as early as you can is clutch. If you wait to submit it after you retake the DAT, well then youll be applying quite late because theyll have to calculate your GPA (and receive other documentation from you) and thatll be another week or 2 until your app is finally sent to the schools. If I were you I'd try to reschedule the DAT for late July or early August.

I am unable to do it any sooner than the 21st of august. If I submit the application that I have filled out 2 weeks before I take the dat, then the gpa can be calculated and such, and then its just a waiting game for the score to come up. But I can send my scores to the schools from the unofficial score report so they know its coming. I just dont know what to do...
