Submit now or wait for DAT Score 2?

I finally finished my application and reviewed everything several times and requested to have my transcript sent to AADSAS last week. I'm not sure if I should wait to submit until I take my 2nd DAT on June 20th.

I took it last year but didn't apply and my scores were pretty cruddy:

Bio: 17
Chem: 17
OChem: 17
Reading: 20
Quant: 15
PAT 21
AS & TS = 17

I'm definitely more prepared to tackle the science this year and I'm pretty confident that I can raise my scores. Should I just wait until the end of June to submit?

Go ahead and submit so that your application is being processed by AADSAS (this can take a few weeks). DAT scores are sent independently of this application by the ADA. Go ahead and put your retake date in your AADSAS application though. Hopefully by submitting AADSAS now and sending your scores when you take the DAT at the end of June your apps at schools will be complete mid-July at the latest, which is great if you're shooting for first to mid round interviews.

Good luck applying!

Submit now. Just don't have your DAT score sent until you do better second time around. Good luck!
