Hi all,

I am reapplying for 2014-2015 cycle. I've already taken DAT last year but I was wondering if I need to let ADEA know what schools I am applying and have them send my score to those schools individually or do I just need to enter dentpin on the aadsas and it takes care of it all?

As long as you marked a single school during your DAT registration, no further action is needed as it will be connected to AADSAS through your DENTPIN.

I remember marking multiple schools (schools I applied) for the score to be sent directly from ADEA. Do I need to contact ADEA?

No, you're fine. I also misread that you were reapplying, if your DAT scores made it onto your last application, they will the same way for this next cycle through your DENTPIN.

Thank you so much for your help sjv!

So... I can't remember exactly, but something tells me I DIDN'T pick even one school to send scores, because I wasn't expecting being asked, was all hyped up on adrenaline, and just wanted to get the test done and over with. How will I go about getting my scores to AAADAS?

I think dentpin is what matters the most. It should load your score to aadsas when you enter your dentpin.

You don't pick these schools AFTER you take the test... You pick them when you sign up for either your DENTPIN or your DAT test date (I can't remember which one).

I made the same mistake last year. It's a quick fix, though. Arbitrarily pick any one school to send your scores to and they'll be received by every school. It took about a week for the ADA to process my request, but as soon as they did so, every school I applied to instantly had access to my scores. I'm sure this was done electronically -- not sure if the one school I selected also received a physical copy or not, but it doesn't really matter.
