Sending DAT scores to schools

Would it be smart to send DAT scores to my full list of schools including the 5 I originally had sent when I took the test in January? I ask this because I wonder if schools just toss out everything at the beginning of a new cycle. If this is the case, then I should send my scores again to the schools that I originally listed when I took the DAT. What do you guys think? Anyone have experience with this? What if they get 2 copies of my score? That shouldn't really affect anything either right?

i took the dat last summer and i just sent my app in today. i selected all of the schools that i applied to, to have the scores sent to- just to be on the safe side. the five schools i selected when i took the dat last summer were obviously my top 5 choices so i just wanted to make sure they got them. if schools get two of the exact score sheet, i dont think it'll matter. im sure ppl probably think this is stupid, but you never know what happens.

I emailed each school that I am applying to and asked if they retained scores sent last year. So far UMDNJ does not need another report sent and Tufts does.
