I see many people got interviews at VCU. Now, I'm wondering whether they got my DAT scores or not. Anyway..
I only got an email back in July which is included in this post. Is this the only confirmation you get about your application and supp materials??????
And how does VCU inform about interviews, email or snail mail?
Thanks :


This letter acknowledges receipt of your AADSAS application.



Although you may have already sent these items to our Admissions Office, all applicants should be aware that in order to be considered for interview status, a completed application must include the following items:



VCU’s application fee of $70. Please make the check or money order payable to VCU School of Dentistry. If the applicant is different from the check writer, please indicate the applicant’s name on the check line at the bottom left-hand side. This fee is in addition to the AADSAS application cost.
Passport-style photo of the applicant’s head shot.
DAT scores from the ADA (official). You may fax us your signed/sealed score sheet that you receive on the day of your test; however, an official copy is required. Our fax is (804) 828-5288. DAT scores are good for three (3) years from the test date.
Three letters of recommendation. These may be sent to our office directly or through AADSAS. If you are mailing them directly, please send them and all correspondence to:


Office of Admissions

VCU School of Dentistry

POB 980566, Richmond, VA 23298.
 
hey, today, i just got an emailing saying that my application is now considered as complete.

here are the dates that i summited my application

June 1 - e summitted (with out DAT) and also sent application and photos.
June 1 - sent transcript and took about 2-3 weeks to verify
July 26 - took DAT and faxed the unofficial scores.

some AADSAS dates

June 30 - printout mailed
Aug 04 - recommendation mailed ( our school uses committee letters and that was the fastest date that my recommendations can be sent.)
Aug 11 - AADSAS revision mailed out ( called and asked and AADSAS said b/c of my new DAT score)

and today I got an email from VCU saying that my application is now complete. and i hope it was not delayed or something b/c VCU is my top choice.

does any1 have similar experience or something like that.?
 
Yes the first school that contacted me was VCU, i have similar dates as the poster above and they emailed me today saying that my folder is complete and that they will begin reviewing it. They updated my status on AADSAS a long time ago that says "under review" before i even got this email today...Strange
