Hey guys,
just wanted so help. I plan on applying early because my
-gpa isnt great (about ~3.3 for overall and science)
-plan on taking the DAT around june 12.
-Im applying to ~ 20 schools (Im from Canada), have 100 + shadowing, 4 great LORS and tons of volunteering in community and school (200 plus).

I have only been able to study for about 2 weeks and have another 2-3, so im not sure Ill be able to do well on the DAT. Should I just go ahead and do it.. and if I dont do so well just sit for it again in three months? Or should I just wait? I really want to apply early. I should mention I cant write it between June 20 to mid July due to surgery. If I write it now, dont do well and do it again sept 13ish and improve will they be able to see it or will most rejections/acceptances be done by then?

thanks!
 
As long as you have a good foundation in science, I recommend you take it.
