Hi

I am a Canadian applying to American dental schools. I sent my Canadian DATscores on April 15th. Are they going to keep my score or do I have to send themagain?

You sent your scores where? Who are they?

Only report Canadian DAT scores in this section from the Canadian Dental Association. Enter the most recent or future Canadian DAT test dates in the spaces provided. Enter the appropriate Canadian DAT exams. Request that official Canadian DAT score reports be sent directly to your designated dental schools. Do not send official Canadian DAT score reports to ADEA AADSAS. ADEA AADSAS does not forward score reports to your designated school, or return them to you.

If you're wondering if they carried over from a previous cycle (ie you're a reapplicant) then simply check the Canadian DAT score section in your AADSAS, if your scores are not there then just re-enter them.

From the above quote it appears you need to send official reports to the schools you applied to directly, but not to AADSAS. Again, if you're a reapplicant, I would contact the schools you applied to last cycle and see if they want you to re-submit official scores.

I hope this answers your question, if not please clarify what you're asking. 🙂
 
Hi, Thanks for replying. I sent my DAT scores directly to dental schools. They might have got it before 2013 application cycle opened (end of may). Do they keep the scores?

Ahh I see what you're saying. I think you're fine, if you'd sent AADSAS something (anything really) before the application cycle opened, then there'd be a problem. Just enter the Canadian dates and such in AADSAS.

If you're really worried then you could call or email a few schools (admissions) to verify they received your scores, just in case, but likely they all will have them for this cycle.
