Sending official DAT score

[YoonS]

Members don't see this ad.

Okay I tried to search the answer but I couldnt

So when I first apply to take DAT I just randomly chose schools.

But now I have list of schools that I want to apply and there were some

schools that I didn't check when I applied for the taking DAT.

In this case, do I have to report ADA to ask them to add more school?

or is there anyway that I can change the school?

I asked this same thing a few days ago, and based on the wording of some of the stuff on the ADA's website:

"If the schools you requested participate in a standardized application service, e.g., the Associated American Dental Schools Application Service (AADSAS) or the Texas Medical and Dental Schools Application Service (TMDSAS), the scores will be available to the schools directly and through the application service."

And this on the ADEA website: "Applicants no longer self-report DAT scores in their ADEA AADSAS application. ADEA AADSAS will obtain your official DAT scores directly from the American Dental Association’s Testing Services Center and will import them directly into your application. If you take the DAT after your ADEA AADSAS application has been sent to your designated dental schools, an updated application, reflecting your DAT scores will be forwarded to schools just as soon as the scores are received.''

Based on those two paragraphs, it seems to me that you don't need to go through that hassle as long as the school accepts AADSAS, but I'm still not 100% sure. I am going to call later today about it. Not sure if you have looked into it, but resending those scores through the ADA is $25 a school as well.
