I called them about this not too long ago. They said to write a written request: include your identity (name, dentpin.. etc..) and what you are requesting. Date it. Sign it. And then send that letter to them. This is what I did.

I had questions about that too, and just came from scouring the AADSAS website. Apparently, as long as you indicate at least one school, all your DAT scores will be listed on your application and automatically sent to all the dental schools you apply to. So... the initial selection of schools when you register for the DAT becomes unimportant.

Thanks, that's good to know. Because when they called me, they failed to mention that to me.

You should not take that statement as definitive policy across all schools. some schools, specifically Detroit Mercy asked that I send them a separate report from the ada. I have their sheet right on my desk.

If you have not registered yet its probably best to just check off all schools to be absolutely sure. That way you don't have to fork out extra 25 bucks when some school decides that the scores sent via aadsas is not good enough.
