Apply now or wait?

[dentist2004]

Hello everyone- I was wondering when I should apply. I have my application almost completed but I am not planning on taking the DAT until August, do I wait to send the applications or should I send them now?

Send them now. One less thing to worry about.

What exactly does 'send it out' mean? I made an account at the AADSAS website and filled out some information. How do i 'send it out'? Thanks

Sending it simply means that it will be processed by AADSAS. At that time you are required to also pay for the application. Then AADSAS will send the application out to the schools of your choice about 6-8 weeks later.

Yes you can update your application later by sending in your DAT scores...........Best advice anyone can give a newbie applicant

APPLY EARLY!!!!!!!

no matter what the circumstances are, just apply to AADSAS ASAP! Remember, it takes them one month just to process the application, and like Bickle said, its one less thing to worry about......
