Taking the DAT in Sep?

[bodoro]

Hi everyone!!
I am applying this year but I haven't taken any DAT previously.
Everything has been submitted but DAT... so it's still incomplete, not even reviewed.
I am scheduled to take it next week but I got an accident.
I don't think I can take it as scheduled and so am thinking to push it back later in September.
My GPA is not that strong it's overall 3.5
Is taking DAT in Sep going to hurt really bad? It seems everyone is taking DAT no later than August and I am the only one taking it in Sep.....
I am so depressed and feeling misery.. Should I just aim for next year cycle?? );

Taking that late will definitely hurt your chances, but if you score a 22+, you can still get some postdec interview.

That's extremely unfortunate. I hate to say this but maybe the accident is kind of a blessing in disguise. I got injured this summer and it made me study for the DAT more and helped me focus (a bit painful in the beginning though). I hope you feel better soon and kill the DAT
