Hi all, got an okay DAT (430) score but I really want to get into state schools. I’ve had some input on this already but would love to hear more. I have all my letters, PS, hours/experiences ready to put on my application when it opens but I’m confused if I want to put “retake DAT” on the application because schools won’t even review until they get that and I plan to take it by the end of August which is also considered late by many of you.

I want to gage how I do on the practice tests to retake it so if I don’t get the score that I want I was just going to stick with the 430 and apply next cycle if I don’t get into cheaper schools. What should I do?
