Okay so I will be applying for this upcoming cycle (opens June 2.) I have my grades and letters of recommendation all ready to be sent in (actually still need to find a dentist that will write me one 🙁 ) and my DAT will be completed around June 7th.

I will be studying for the DAT throughout may until the test date. What should my exactly procedure be to ensure that my application gets in/viewed as early as possible? Thanks.

Personal statement?
List of schools you plan on applying to?
Payment for AADSAS and secondary/supplemental fees?
2x2 photo for some secondary/supplemental applications?
Supplemental application info here: http://www.adea.org/dental_educatio.../Pages/ADEAAADSASSupplementalInformation.aspx

Other than that, you just fill out and submit everything when AADSAS opens, it will get mailed out when your GPA is verified and then you play the waiting game.

sjv nailed it on the head, pretty much. You might talk to your school's pre-health advisor to make sure everything is in order. If you aren't ready to submit on June 7th, don't rush your application to get it done ASAP. I took my DAT May 22 and then worked on personal statements, essays and the application process for about 3 weeks. Got it sent out around June 20th and heard back from interested schools by mid August. They say to get applications out early, but as long as you are done by mid to late July, you should be fine.

And get that last letter of rec!!

Also waiver form and official transcript. Might take one or two days for your school to process and 7-10 days for AADSAS to receive from the school. For me, the personal statement took the longest because I was putting it off (wish I got it done sooner). Didn't finish and submitted until mid August even though I filled out everything on June 2nd.

I plan on submitting my application the first week of June. However, I wont take the DAT again til June 30th, and of course it wont be til probably mid July until my LORs are in. Will my application still be viewed by schools or will they put it aside until it is considered "complete"?

put aside until ur DAT score come in. some schools only consider applications complete when LOR DAT + transcript verified application are all in

Is mid-July still considered early to have a complete application?

Others on SDN say so.
