Okay, so I'm applying to 20 schools and it cost me around $1300! I know I have to send in secondary application fees to schools as well which will add onto the amount. What I don't get is...after I take the DAT, I know we get 5 schools free to send our scores to and after that we have to pay a fee. Do we need to pay for each school to receive them as well?! Why can't AADSAS just verify it like they do our transcripts and save us a whole lot of money?

Just to clarify:

-there's the initial AADSAS school designation fee
-the secondary application fee (for some schools)
-AND I have to pay for the 20 dental schools I'm applying to to receive my DAT scores? Is this correct?

every schools needs an official DAT score report so it looks like you have to pay for 15 (you get the first 5 free). it's $25 a pop to send scores, ridiculous isn't it!
