Hi guys,

I have read up and down this forum, and it seems that the consensus is that AADSAS sends score reports to all the schools, and that we don't need to send any scores directly to schools from ADA.

However, this link ( http://www.adea.org/dental_education_pathways/aadsas/Applicants/GeneralInstructions/Documents/2010SupplementalTableCompleteList%282%29.pdf ) has me a bit worried, since many of the schools require an official DAT score report from ADA. I understand that the list is from 2010, but I want to make sure. Does anyone have any input on this?

Thanks a bunch amigos,
Tely

If I remember correctly, I don't think you need to send any individual scores directly from ADA to dental schools. AADSAS pulls your DAT scores from your DENTPIN (which is essentially from ADA), and then sends it to the schools on your application. So I'm pretty sure that is still considered official from ADA. When I applied last cycle, I had the same question, but didn't send in anything and schools still interviewed me so you do not have to send in anything related to DAT scores. They will get it automatically from your DENTPIN. 👍
 
Creighton's website says they require the official report sent directly to from the ADA but I e-mailed them and they said the one from AADSAS was fine....
