The application is send through AADSAS to dental schools.
DAT scores are send through ADA to dental schools.

How would dental schools match my DAT scores to my application??

There are many applicants with same name as mine.. I even have a few in my school who is applying to dental school with me...

So... would Dental Schools match my DAT scores to my application by "Social Security #" ? (I guess this is the only thing that can be the same except for name)
or
When I am taking DATs, is there a place to fill out my AADSAS application ID number on the exam??

Can anyone explain this please..

Thanks!
 
yes, you're right in that they match your DAT scores to your SS# since you include that in your aadsas application, when you apply to take the DAT, and when you ask ADA to send your scores to the dental schools so this is probably one of the things you don't need to worry much about. also, there is not a place to fill out your aadsas id on the DAT since you put SS# on it.
