TMDSAS and DAT scores

I took the DAT on 9/18 and my TMDSAS status still shows that the scores are needed. How long did it take for TMDSAS to get the scores? I know that the ADA says up to 3 weeks, but I didn't really believe it. Also, when I signed up for the DAT, I selected UT Houston. Does this mean that the scores went directly there, or did they go to TMDSAS? Thanks for the input.

Here's just my experience. I took the DAT 9/17 (so right about the same time as you). I only applied to the 3 TX schools, and I have received file complete letters from each of the 3 schools. San Antonio sent me a file complete letter on 9/20, got an interview invite and file complete letter both on 9/25 from Baylor, and just yesterday (9/30) Houston sent me a file complete letter. I did, however, fax my scores (unofficial) on 9/18 to all the schools, but I doubt this mattered. If you haven't received file complete letters yet (and you feel you have sent everything in), I'd probably be calling...

Thanks for sharing. I actually got a letter for an interview dated 3 days prior to my DAT test. I am just concerned that TMDSAS shows that they still need the scores and what will happen if they don't get them by 10/15.

It actually took a little over 3 weeks for the TMDSAS to receive my scores. I took the test on 08/08 and my scores were received by TMDSAS on 09/03. TMDSAS completed processing my application on 09/06 and I got an interview invitation on 09/18 to UTHSCSA (the only place I applied).
