Taking DAT after the dental school application deadline

[Rusmedvedj]

I am pretty sure this question has already been answered, however I cannot find the answer.

My question is: What if I apply to dental schools, but I am going to take DAT after the application submission deadline, will the application still be looked at?

P.S. After I put it in words, the answer seems obvious, that it still will be looked at, yet I would really like to know if someone actually did take their DAT after the application deadline, and got into the dental school. You know, better know for sure, then keep guessing.

I am applying to DENTAL schools for the 2015 school year. I feel like I'm really behind and I need help!!
I am taking the DAT on July 30th.
I have not yet submitted my AADSAS APPLICATION.
I have not asked for letters of recommendation yet, but do have people to ask in mind.

My science GPA is 3.7 and my overall GPA is 3.7
I have a lot of experience in DENTAL OFFICES.

Maryland is my top choice (I am a resident of Maryland), what are my chances of getting into UMDental or other DENTAL schools?

How bad does it look submitting my APPLICATION and LOR so late and is there even enough time for them to be received?

Has anyone taken the KAPLAN DAT prep class and felt that the test was easier or harder than the class practice tests?

Well like Glimmer said, get your DAT scores high like probably 21+ if you're applying late. Your grades and EC looks good. Best ask for LOR ASAP like right now. Unless you're cool with those people you're asking for LOR it's kinda bad because people don't like being rushed making you an LOR rushed. They might not even do the best job at it too.
