I received 19/19/20 on my DAT a year and a half ago. I was thinking about retaking it this summer because it looks like my chances at getting accepted are slim. My question is, if I send in my AADSAS then retake the DAT, can I hide my scores if I do not do as well. the 2nd time around? Or do they automatically get sent to AADSAS?
 
Depending on your gpa, you're scores are probably good enough to get into a dental school. Unless there is the option to withdraw after having felt like you have done poorly on the exam before seeing the scores, the second scores will be on record for the schools to see as they will be the most recent. Unless there are any one section below an 18 and your gpa is decent, I think there shouldn't be a problem of getting accepted.
