Did I screw up?

I think I am overreacting but..

So I submitted my application a couple days ago and for some reason I thought all schools send you supplemental application, but according to Penn, UNLV, Creighton, Roseman, and Western I was suppose to submit my supplemental application at the time I submitted my AADSAS application. Is this a problem? Or because my application will take 4-6 weeks to process and get verified I have that amount of time to submit my supplemental application?

Thank you

You just need to send them in as soon as possible. There are usually deadlines that are the very latest you can send them in, but you should aim to send everything in much before that. I'm still working on all of mine kinda hopping back and forth between the required essays from different schools. You're all good!

Thank you! I think I heard 2 weeks is reasonable to send it. Also, will be sending physical hard copies of the supplement application to the schools correct? Or do we email it

You have zero reason to freak out. READ the supplemental. It tells you exactly how/where they want it sent.

Depends on the school. Some have things you upload, some want them physically mailed. Go to each school's website that you applied to and read their instructions.

Can I send in supplements after I submit my app if I haven't taken the DAT yet? I plan on taking it in July

Send everything as soon as it's ready to go.

I plan on strictly studying for the DAT after I submit my app around this week. Is it fine if I submit my supplementals around August?

Yeah I think most have deadlines around october or november or something, each school's is different but you can check by either looking on their website or calling them. First priority should def be crushing the DAT. So I'd recommend studying for that non stop and then as soon as you finish, take a day or two off to recuperate and celebrate, and then knock out those supps.

Thank you so much. Do you know which schools have a deadline earlier than October? It should be just a few schools, right?

What about the schools that say to pay after you e-submit. You think it's fine to e-submit now and pay around august? I mean, they are still getting everything by aug

Do not wait for supplementals.

If I were you, I would go around and pay for all supplementals that do not require long essays. And then focus on studying for the DAT, this score can make or break your app. After taking the DAT then you can come back to the supp essays.

Wait... which dental school REQUIRES you to send it supplementation via MAIL? I don't get why they all require all these physical copy crap when we're living in the age of electronic.

 

[FutureJawBreaker]

Isn't the supplemental just paying the extra fee and some contact you to pay the fee? Which schools require an essay?

Did you guys read the application? It clearly states every school has their own protocol for a supplemental application. Some schools want physical personal checks or a money order and the corresponding application to be mailed with it. That's just how it is.

The schools that require essays will say so on the supplemental itself. Once again, go look at the supplemental application information listed in AADSAS. There's a link that tells you literally everything about each school.
