Reapplying to D-School?

I apologize if this topic has been covered in another thread, but I couldn't find the answer anywhere.

I am re-applying this year. I took the DAT last August (2008). In my AADSAS application it asks my DAT scores. When I hit send can I assume that my scores will be sent to all the schools? Or do I need to do something else to have my scores sent to the schools?

Any advise is appreciated. Thanks guys 😍

NO!
AADSAS doesnt send your DAT scores to the school.
ADA does. Whatever schools you selected when signing up through ADA are the schools the
scores will be sent to. if you need to send it to additional schools you can do so.

Did you send your August 2008 DAT scores to all the dental schools you applied to last cycle? You do not need to re-send them to every school. Some schools will still have your DAT scores on file from the last cycle.

I did send my DAT scores out last cycle. This year I am applying to about 14 schools. 9 of them are from last year and 5 are new schools. Do I need to call each of the 9 schools that I applied to last year and ask them if they are going to keep my DAT score on file or if I need to have it resent? I guess it's either that or pay the fee (what is it now, $50 per school?) to have it resent to all 14 schools? omg

you will have to resend to every school but it's $25 / school.
i guess few schools would keep your old score in file but you do not want to delay your process by any means for trying to save $25

yeah i feel your pain since im reapplying and im applying to 17 schools but hopefully it's all worth the money at the end.

Just call each of the 9 schools and see if they still have your scores from last cycle and if they are going to keep it for this upcoming cycle. It only takes them like 2 minutes to pull your scores up if they have it. It won't take that long to call and ask them. This way you will save $25 per school that you don't need to re-send your scores to.
