When to apply and take the DAT

[dental1234555]

Hello everyone

Hope guys are doing well, I graduate in the upcoming summer semester it would be my last semester, I am guessing it ends around early August. When do I apple for schools?and when should I take the DAT? Should I take the DAT before graduating because I’m scared that if I take the DAT after applying they would put my application aside and accept other people’s if the make sense. My plan in to take the DAT in spring but I just found out the the application submission start June 1st and I want to apply early, right now I’m a little bit confused on how things work.


I really appreciate the input and thank you all in advance

If you have time and want to apply early (June-July) then try to study for the DAT in the spring. Take it in the spring or June-July. Keep in mind that it will take 2-3 weeks to verify your scores.
And don't worry, they won't put your application aside if you take the DAT after graduation. This is not how it works. Take the test and apply early!
Goog luck!
