Emailing dental schools for status in application process?

I applied to dental schools on Nov.1 which I know is late.
I haven't heard back from any dental schools yet and it's already February, so I'm really worried.
Would it be a good idea to start emailing dental schools on my status?? If so, how should I write the email?

Also, I applied to MOSDOH, but the school doesn't show up on my aadsas 'School decisions' section. Is that normal?

Some schools don't use the AADSAS site , they normally state it when they confirm they received your application. NYU and Harvard are two that don't.
As far as sending emails to schools, yes do it...I did it recently and received an interview and nice responses back from most of the schools saying they would add the update to my file. Just be professional short and to the point that you are just providing an update but make sure you have something new to add that they don't know about such as a recent award etc... Best of luck to you - I'm sure you will hear good news soon.
