Application Timing Help Needed!!

The dental schools wants the letter of rec and the transcripts and their fees as soon as they received the AADSAS application. I just sent my application now. I guess it will take them a few weeks to send it to the dental schools, so at the mean time, send all the letter of rec and transcripts right away. (you can do it through AADSAS' service).

After you take your DAT, you will have to fill a form with the additional schools that you want the send the score to, of course, with the money order.. The form is in the DAT's website. This process will take a few weeks also. So do it as soon as you finish your test.


These are all I know, hope this helps.

 

It takes about 5-6 weeks to process your application. So you have some time. I personally picked like 17 schools when I submitted AADSAS ( I was in a rush to submit it). Now since all of my schools have my AADSAS application I sent in checks to my top 6-8 choices. The rest are on hold until I get my DAT scores and if I don't get accepted by Dec. 1. So in a way I am doing my own "batch" system. I did lose some money, but I guess it is better to be safe than sorry. Besides it's cheaper to apply to schools in one shot than reapply and pay 75 bucks to add in a school and wait anothe two months.

I would send in the money immediately with a note stating you just submitted your AADSAS application, etc etc.

Hope this helps.

Send the stuff in as early as possible. I actually sent stuff to the schools a few weeks before submitting the AADSAS. As somebody who now has a couple interviews lined up, I can tell you that it pays to get stuff done early.
