Do we need to send official DAT scores to schools?

When I took the DAT, it gave me the option to send my scores to 5 schools at no cost.

I am applying to about 11 schools. Now that the application is coming up, do I need to go to the ADA website and send official DAT scores to the other 6 schools that I did not initially choose when I took the DAT?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

I've heard mixed things about this.

If you want my opinion: I did the same, I had official scores sent to 5 schools when I registered for the DAT. I applied to 12 schools total, I never had to waste extra money by sending official score reports to schools because the DAT scores were uploaded onto my application and that got forwarded to the schools. All I had to do was enter the month and year I took the exam and within a few days it was received by AADSAS.

Thank you for your prompt reply. I really appreciate it!

Does anyone else have any input to give as to what they did/plan on doing? Thanks in advance!

If AADSAS has your scores, they will distribute to all the schools that you designate when you submit your application. So no, you do not have to go to ADA and send it to the other 6 schools.

This is what AADSAS told me last cycle. You should call to confirm.
