Taking DAT after application submission?

[jkbaltimore]

Hey!
So I'm taking my DAT on July 12th, but I want to get my application in as soon as possible (because it's rollinga admissions right?)
Is there a disadvantage to sending my DATs in later?
My letters are strong. My GPA could be better (3.4 overall and 3.1ish science). But I also studied at a fairly competitive school and I had a lot of family medical issues and mental health crises the year my GPA took a dive.. It's been on the up and up ever since that dip though.

your stats are really similar to mine and i've also had some issues that gave me a really bad first 2 years. if you can explain it well and have a strong upwards trend i think you have a chance. let's yolo on this cycle together! .
