What would y'all say is the latest I should take the DAT in hopes to still get an August/September interview?

I was planning on taking it on July 15th. Too late, too early??

I took the DAT at the end of August and received my first interview 3 weeks later.

it is probably too late, b/c it takes about 1 month for your dat scores to be sent to the schools. then it might take a few weeks to a few months for the schools to process those scores. if you're shooting for august/september, it'd be safer to take it in june... so long as you're ready. good luck.

yeah, i think it also depends on the school. like, i heard from suny buffalo really soon after i got my scores to them, but it took the ca schools a couple months to get back to me.
