How long does it take for your DAT score to reach a designated school after you have submitted an electronic transcript request from the ADA?

well i took the DAT and i recieved an interview 7 days later.... so i guess it doesn't take that long to send them out. About 5 other schools sent me an application is complete about 3 weeks after the DAT date.

i would maybe recommend immediately faxing the copy you receive to schools just to be sure. ive learned not to rely on organizations like aadsas and adea in terms of getting things done efficiently so....😡

Offical DAT scores typically take between 3-4 weeks to reach the dental schools, though they may arrive sooner.

Please refer to the candidate guide, found on the official DAT website, for further information. http://www.ada.org/prof/ed/testing/dat/index.asp

I emailed mine to all the schools as a precautionary step. I really think that the ADEA is ripping us off by charging $25 per school to mail these scores. Why do transcripts cost $4 at my home school, yet DAT scores cost $25? Two years ago they charged $10 per school, now they charge $25? I hate being gouged for no reason.

Is there a reason for the 150% increase (besides greed) TestingDeptRep?
