Very Frustrated...

Members don't see this ad.

Hey, guys. I would like to get some advice from you.
I requested ADA to send my official DAT score to 14 dental schools after I took my DAT on Aug 16th. At the same time, I sent my unofficial DAT score report via a fax to those schools to speed up my application. After that, I got one interview invitation from Nova and some other schools indicated "Received/Under review." Therefore, I believed my application will be complete in other schools soon and I have waited to hear some good news. However, some schools sent me emails this week that they have not received my official DAT score, so my applications are not complete!! So, I called ADA to check if they sent my official score, but ADA told me they have never received my request!!! Now I just realized schools that told me my applications are complete are fine with the unofficial scores as long as official score arrive after interview. The schools that do not accept the unofficial scores have not even looked at my application yet. I am really screwed up...
I called each school today, but many of them are not available to check my status. Could you guys tell me which schools are not going to review my application with the unofficial scores??

UCLA, UCSF, Tufts, U of Michigan, UMDNJ, NYU, UNC, U of Washington, Marquette, Pacific

Whoever read this thread, you should check each school whether they have received your official score.
Do you have any advice?? I am very worried about this!! I hate ADA!!

Did you ever get billed by the ADA for your score request back in August?

Yes, I got billed $350 and I paid.

Pacific, UCSF and UCLA for sure won't look at you without official transcripts. I think Tufts will ignore you too. Not sure about the rest.

I called Pacific and they told me my application was complete two weeks ago... And AADSAS indicates "Received/Under review" Do you think they are still waiting for my official DAT to decide whether invite me an interview??

I got the same situation, 4 schools in my case.
I could recognize when NYU asked me to send my DAT score.
I called to ADA and sent them a copy my Credit Card Bill and some personal information.
Then they sent my score again, but it took long time.
I'm still waiting for those 4 schools.

Good Luck

Right after I found out my scores were not sent to the schools, I asked the ADA to mail out immediately. So, they mailed out yesterday. You should call the ADA and speak to Cynthia Willett. She is the one responsible for sending DAT scores. (312) 440-7648 this is her direct phone number. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your info. Fortunately, I already faxed my unofficial scores to every school right after my DAT. AADSAS indicates that U of Washington "Received/Under review." Although this means my application is complete, do you think my application is on hold because the official score has not arrived??

Also happened to me last year. Cost me at least 2 months of time and definitely hurt as earlier is always better.

Wow... I am in the exact same situation as you did last year. I called all 14 schools, but 10 out of 14 schools told that my applications are complete. I guess It's because I faxed my unofficial scores right after my DAT. DId you fax your unofficial DAT score last year?? If so, did it help?? I am kinda worried about it now.
