Since some schools request to FAX your unofficial report (which contains percentiles) to them directly would they analyze my DAT score off of the standard score only or both? I just don't want them to judge my scores based on the percentiles!

I suspect that someone will grab your report off the fax, pull up your file, fill in the blanks for the scores, and then go about their other business. When your file is reviewed, they'll see the same standard scores just like the rest.

In the unlikely case that they are waiting just for your report and immediately run to look over your whole file for consideration with the fresh report in hand, I would still suspect that these standardized scores are really all they look at.
