•can I simply input my DAT scores in the application since these scores automatically sent to all the schools I selected prior to taking my DAT... or do I also have to send an official report using my DENTPIN?

•should I include work I did under the table as work experience? Also, would my job as a dental lab tech be under dental experience, work experience, or both?

•first batch isn't sent until the end of June. Has anyone done the FAP, and know how long it takes to hear back?

•can I send my transcripts a few days prior to June 1st so the verification process will speed up my app?

You cannot manually input your DAT scores on the application. All you have to do is take the test and they are automatically sent to the schools.

•should I include work I did under the table as work experience? Also, would my job as a dental lab tech be under dental experience, work experience, or both?

There is a category titled Dentistry / Shadowing Experience. If you worked as a dental lab tech I would probably put it here. It then lets you specify if it is shadowing experience or something else. Honestly though it's not like it matters if you put it here or in work experience, they will see it either way. I would not put it under both...try to avoid double dipping your experiences.

•first batch isn't sent until the end of June. Has anyone done the FAP, and know how long it takes to hear back? I remember when I applied, I applied right when applications were open. And then I didn't hear back till mid-end of January bc they're closed majority of December!

I asked adcom whether I should put my dental lab tech position as an intern on work experience or volunteer section. She said I can put it anywhere, so I doubt it matters.

For the matter of transcription, your school needs this special cover page from AADSAS with your authentic bar code on it and that cover page needs to be in the sealed envelope with your transcrioption. This way AADSAS can easily sort your transcript to your file. You can send AADSAS your transcript early but AADSAS said if you don't send your transcript with that cover page from AADSAS, the process to find your file will take longer.
You can only get that AADSAS cover page ONCE the portal is open on 6/1.
