AT Still has nothing to do with UofA

You're right about your DAT being iffy. School list looks decent enough, just know that LLU does need a letter from a spiritual leader so be sure you have one that can be sent in on their secondary app. See how this cycle goes and if it's not successful, then your DAT will need to be retaken.
