Anyone whose taken the DAT in August have their scores uploaded yet?

 

[YouAnti-Dentite!]

I took mine August 4th and they still haven't been uploaded yet 🙁

From what I've heard it takes at least 2-4 weeks before uploading.

Took my test 7/10 and it was uploaded 7/25 for reference.

Took the DAT on the fourth and still nothing...

Plus side is I DID get an interview because I emailed the schools admissions office with a copy of the unofficial scores. So my advice would be to do the same in the meantime.

Hopefully that means we might get notified today 🙂

Wow congrats on the interview! That is awesome!

I didn't even think about emailing our unofficial. I might just have to do that if we don't hear back soon 😀

Hey toothhurts,

Which schools did accepted your unofficial scores? or how did you word it to them? Because the schools I called said they won't look at the unofficial while the official one is being processed.

Dear adcom,

Wuzzup. Here is my dope-ass DAT scores. Dont even bother with the interviews, I accept my class of 2019 position at your school.
and here's why:

-Shadowing ****? Check.
-Talking to patients and ****? Double check.
-Studying and taking standardized tests? MEGA-check.
-Being all compassionate and ****? MOTHERFLIPPING CHECK ALL OVER THAT.

You dont need an AADSAS application when you have my FACTS. Check this **** out.
-5.0 oGPA/6.0 sGPA. Yo I MAKE my own rules.
-My scores were 45/45/45 across the board. Dont believe me? I dont need proof, cause I'm HONEST.
-Letters of recommendations? I believe you will get a call from my home boy Obama in the next hour, VOUCHING for my swag.

I'll come by tomorrow to sign all the paperwork at 0900 sharp.

Love,
-Dogg

PS I dont financial aid because the only financial aid I need is the stars and stripes. 'Murica.


Seriously, if they didnt take the unofficial report, they dont accept it. Just email it to all of the schools. Preferably word it EXACTLY like above.

Im on mobile but pretty much every school in my signature accepted unofficial scores EXCEPT Louisville. I did get an email today from Louisville that they got my official scores and my app was complete. There's no change in AADSAS though. I will update my signature when I get home but my interview was for Iowa

Although the schools accept unofficial scores they did tell me that they wouldn't make a decision until the official ones arrive. However I do think it expedites the process.

Yeah that's the point I'm focusing on. Obviously some of them that did specifically state in their secondary email that they won't accept unofficial. Some didn't say anything so which was why I was curious.

 

[Thetoothhurts91]

You'd think with the fact that the scores are sent electronically and that you pay hundreds of dollars, there would be a faster system in place. Still nothing from AADSAS...

The ADA and ADEA are different organizations. Makes sense that they would have some lag processing thousands of scores.

Add 2-3 weeks to Aug 8th.

 

[ZPederson11]

mine says date taken 8/08/14 and date received 8/22/14 if anyone is wondering how long it is taking for August DAT's

 

[Thetoothhurts91]

I finally saw my scores on AADSAS. Took the DAT on 8/4. It does say they receives it on 8/22 but I constantly checked it so I know it wasn't posted til this morning. So for me it was exactly 3 weeks.
