Would a DAT score from an exam taken in Octorber 2009 still be valid for the next cycle (2012 cycle) if that peson intends to submit in June 2011?

scores are good for three years.

A couple schools say 3, a couple says 5, but most schools say two... but they never mention if its two from matriculation or two from time of application or two in calendar years..........

I had this same question when I applied in the 2009 cycle (Submitted July 08) with a DAT score from June '06. I called all the schools that I was applying to that had a 2 year limit on DAT scores and, if my memory serves me correct, they all said that I was ok as long as I had everything complete and to them before 2 years had passed. Basically, if you submit early (as you should) and have your file complete and sent out by aadsas in the first few batches, you should be fine.

You should, however, call all the schools with 2 year limits just to dbl check.

Yea, I was planning on calling all the 2 year limit schools later anyways... just wanted a quick checkup on this forum to see what the general consensus was. Thanks for the reply.
