Do these dental schools require DAT scores to be sent directly from ADA?

So this is what I read from another thread regarding sending DAT scores and who takes care of it:

1. AADSAS will upload your DAT score from the ADA as long as you put in your DENTPIN and Test Date in regards to AADSAS having your DAT score.

2. If schools want an OFFICIAL DAT Score Report, they should state it in their supplemental instructions, and that is when you contact ADA, pay the $25, and send the DAT score directly to the dental school.

I had my DAT scores sent to most of the schools I applied to since they were on my initial list when I registered for the DAT. However, I did not have my DAT scores directly sent to VCU, MW-Z, MW-IL, and Indiana. Do any of you if these dental schools require DAT scores being directly send to them? I heard that most schools receive scores from AADSAS anyways so it shouldn't matter....

I applied to those schools and they received it from AADSAS. they haven't requested anything from me at all. I was 4th batch (mailed out 7/6 and completed in 7/27). They would email you letting you know if they need anything.

AADSAS will receive the official score 2-3 weeks after you take the DAT. If I'm not mistaken, this is what schools mean when they say they want the official score report (i.e. you should not need to pay the ADA $25 to send anything to the schools).

VCU lets you fax over your unofficial score, but I don't believe your application will be complete until they receive the official score from AADSAS.
