I think that one needs to report all the graduate school entrance exams one took on AMCAS application, right? How's having DAT or GRE score on one's score gonna be looked upon by schools? Has anyone experienced this being brought up during an interview?

No. The AMCAS Instruction Manual says:

Other Tests
[FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]Applicants who wish to include non-MCAT test scores in their application may do so by clicking ..Yes [FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]in the Other Tests section. Examples of other tests are the GMAT, LSAT, or GRE. ..

AMCAS doesn't require the divlugence of other tests, however, other schools may have extra requirements.

TMDSAS has a portion for you to disclose these scores.

I had a DAT on my app and was accepted in October. Nobody ever asked about it. It's, obviously, school dependent though. If you have a good reason for not pursuing dentistry, I don't see why it would matter.

I like the play on words. Get it? "That score on your record?" "Dat score on your record?" lol.

DATs a pretty good score.

Also, what did you get on the DAT? I'd disclose it if you got a 22+ AA.

I switched from dentistry too and included my DAT only because it was pretty good (22), but if it's not, I don't think it is dishonest at all for you not to include it.
