I submitted my AADSAS application electronically on July 6th. Later, I took my DAT on July 22nd. My GPA got verified on July 27th. I added two more dental schools to the "dental school designations" on my AADSAS and ened up paying another $120. My applications has not been mailed out yet.
Now, I'm supposed to go to www.ada.org and request my score reports. Should I check all the 7 dental schools on that form or just the two new ones that I added? The 2007 examinee guide says that I have to check all the schools, and I will end up paying $25 for each school added more than five. However, when I mark my 7 DS desingations, it says it's going to charge me $175. What is wrong here? Am I not supposed to pay $50 only?
I have never requested a score report before.

When you took the DAT, hopefully you checked all the schools that you originally applied to. If you did, you only have to send your scores to the two schools you added.

Did you take the DAT in august of last year? because august 22 hasn't arrived yet.... 😕
 
When you signed up for the DAT, did you select schools and pay the applicable fee? If so, then you're score will automaticly be sent to the schools you designated when signing up for the test. Thats why it is expensive to take the test. It might take 1-2 wks for the schools to get the printout though. Hope that helps man.

Oh my bad, I mean July, not August.
Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure if I have done that. I guess I need to give them a call on Monday. I might end up paying $175.

I really don't remember man. I signed up for DAT earlier than filling up my AADSAS application. Thx for the answer. I gotta give them a call on Monday.
 
i think that examinee guide only applies for when your registering for the test and it gives you 5 freebees, then all the extra ones you pay for. But if your just doing extra ones after the fact then just check the extra schools and send the new form, you don't have to re-check all the ones you checked the first time through. I've had to add schools a few times already with new forms and I always just check the new schools I want to add, never had any problems.
