Taking DAT in a few days... hit submit?

Taking my exam in just a few days but everything else is ready to go.

Should I hit submit now or wait for my DAT exam scores?

Not the best GPA 3.4 and an honor code violation at undergrad for sharing iClickers.... (friend was studying for exam and so i clicked for them... counts as 20% of overall grade so pretty important factor).

anyway I'm worried schools will look at the application of 3.4 and honor code red flag and reject me before even waiting for DAT.

What should I do?
Thinking I can pull off a 20AA for sure

With the red flag I’d shoot for an above average DAT and wouldn’t take it until you felt confident in 22+. The honor code violation could definitely play a role and with a 20AA and a 3.4 with a non earlier submission I’d apply to a lot of schools.

As far as submitting, should i wait for dat score or submit now?

what are you saying here? admission committees look passed honor code violations if you have a high DAT score?

People get accepted with honor code violations. Obviously the higher your DAT is the better chance you have

If you will have the DAT done in a few days, then it won't be the end of the world to wait a few days to submit. Depends if you plan to let your score impact your decision on whether or not you will proceed with the application process. If you know you will apply regardless, go ahead and submit. If you will withdraw your application if your score is too low, then wait.

How much time has passed since the academic misconduct issue? One that happened more recently would be more of an issue than one that happened maybe freshman year.

You know how ignorant that sounds? lol

How is that ignorant. It’s fact. Honor code violations aren’t a good thing hence you need to prove you’ve grown and have other parts of your application that make the committee look past the incident like doing well on the DAT.
