I have scheduled to take the DAT June 30th, but am really thinking one additional week could really boost my score, so I was thinking of switching my test date to July 7. I was told that it only takes about 2 days for the ADA to post the DAT score to AADSAS, but when I called to confirm that, I was told it would take 2 weeks. I don't want to delay taking the DAT too long in case admissions receive my application and see I still haven't retaken the test, and therefore set my application aside. I submitted my application on June 10, so I will be in the first round of applications mailed out. Any thoughts or suggestions as to what I should do (keep the 30th or change to July 7 for the DAT) would really be appreciated. Thanks!
 
It would be perfectly fine to switch it to July 7th, still early, dont worry about it. They say 2 weeks at the most. I think mine were available within a week if I remember correctly.
