Hello SDN peeps.

I am new and need help! I am retaking the DAT aug 19th, I have my application filled out and ready. I have been told to wait to submit the actual app for a couple reasons. Primarily to allow my new score to upload and get on teh app around the same time I get supplementals done.

SO...

I am thinking of applying 3rd week of JULY, like hitting the submit button. This allow for schools to get my app, send me supplementals. I then do those, send them in. If I do this they will process and the whole application will be done right around when my DAT is taken/uploaded. (I do plan on sending my unofficial scores the day I take! directly to teh schools)

Is this a solid plan? Should I submit earlier? later? I just dont know the timelines of app processing/school admission committees reviewing.

I am applying to:
