Hi everyone! I'm scheduled to take my DAT on July 24th. I plan to complete my AADSAS application the same day it opens and submit it either that day or the following (Friday, June 2nd). Assuming I request Transcripts that same day and my LORs will be in by no later than the end of June, what batch would I be in? Is that DAT late too late or is it still considered early?

It's definitely not early, but it isn't late either. For reference, i submitted my application in early June last year and took my DAT July 18th. I still got plenty interviews. It's better to take your DAT a little later and do really well than take it early and not do as good. Study hard!

Batch numbers are a meme, they don't matter. Get everything in before August.

Batches do not exist any longer. Applications are delivered to dental schools electronically in real time. This is directly from ADEA AADSAS.

You're fine. It's really not a big deal because it's July. You'll be ok because by the time they get your DAT scores, your GPA will be verified.
Don't stress.

Neither early nor late, but certainly nothing to worry about. Request your transcript in advance of taking the DAT though - make sure the rest of your application is ready by the time you get your scores so there are no unnecessary delays.

better to submit early with mediocre DAT score and update my next DAT score in late july? Or just wait all together until finishing the DAT in july and submit both scores in july and submit the applications then?

Sorry to revive this thread, but didn't want to make a new one.
I'm rescheduling my DAT for July 10th. Submitting my application tomorrow (June 21st). I ordered my transcripts on June 9th but my University has yet to send them out since they are experiencing a "hot volume period."

I'm really starting to get ansy and beginning to stress. Should I be worried or am I overstressing myself for no reason? Is there anything I can to speed up my process or is there anything I should be on the look out for during this upcoming month in the application process?

You'll be fine! I took my DAT a little later than you, I still received an interview for mid August and early September (and others throughout the cycle). Complete any secondaries that you can in the meanwhile because those can be time consuming.

Definitely will! Thank you for the assurance!
