Does anyone know how long it takes for dental schools to get the official dat scores? Do dental schools even consider applications without the official dat scores? Thanx
Yeah, the best thing to do is call the schools you applied to and see if they've received it. If not, then bother ADA. Just keep calling either one as much as possible until everything's complete.

expect at least 10 business days, i'd say. first, you have to mail payment (certified check or money order ONLY) to the DAT headquarters, they have to process, and then they send your official scores out to the schools.
i think most dental schools put your application on hold/incomplete until they do get your scores. to speed up the process, you can fax them an unofficial copy of your score and then tell them that you are getting the official copy in ASAP. but they will still want the official score in the end (although i'm sure they'll start reviewing your application if you do send in unofficial).
