I am sure that is true, but a dean specifically told me to apply in June. Also, every dental school's websites tells you to apply early, and some of them are in big bold letters. There shouldn't be judgement on people who want to get in the first batch. Who knows, they might review them by the batches they receive? Being a reapplicant, it's been a long time coming, and I'm sure all of us just want to get everything right. So it's ok to freak out and be on top of the status of your application.
I made a HUGE mistake last year with some technical/logistics difficulties that delayed my application until October, even though I submitted in July, and took my DATs in August. Well, long story short, my request for my DATs did not go through to schools in August, and I was contacted by a school in October that they have not received my scores. My request never went through even though ADA charged my credit card, so I submitted them again after talking to ADA. Once the schools got my DAT scores, I received 4 Spring interviews in November/December. I obviously did not get accepted anywhere, hence I am reapplying. But sometimes I sit and wonder if I would be in dental school by now if I had my application in earlier and was on top of everything about transcripts, DATs, LOEs, secondaries, fees, etc.
Anyways, hope everyone gets their transcripts in no problem and your undergrads did not make any errors in sending them.
