Hey!
So I submitted my AADSAS application on 7/1 and I've been receiving supplemental application emails from schools. I haven't taken the DAT yet (I'll be taking it early August). For now, I was planning on paying the schools that just ask for an application fee and hold off on schools that actually ask questions till after I take my DAT. I figured that would be best since it takes the DAT a couple weeks to be processed and I would have more time to write out better answers. Does submitting a supplemental early without a DAT score have any benefit?
 
I honestly don't think it will have any benefit. Whether you send it or not, it is still the DAT score that will make or break it in terms of being invited for that interview. As you said, waiting a little while longer will give you some time to craft better responses, and better responses on that supplemental will help you stand out as an applicant. Good luck!

I also think that yeah, they are not going to review your application at all anyway, until they have a DAT score for you. But once the DAT is done, get the supplemental application turned in within a week or so after.
