Hello everyone. Can anyone tell me how to check if my application is complete? I sent the online app. in on September 29th , the dat scores, transcripts and letter of evaluation went out about the same time. I understand they need time to process, but when should I start pulling out my hair. I also know that some schools require another fee and photo. So should I wait till they contact me before paying more money? Thanks for you help.

😕

First call AADSAS and see when they?ll send your application out to the dental schools. Have in mind that it takes them A LOT OF TIME to do this so if you get an answer like ?middle to the end of October? you should be happy. Make sure you send your DAT scores now and don?t wait for the schools to get your application first. After AADSAS tells you when your application will go out call them on that day to confirm that everything is OK. Wait like 4 to 5 days and then start calling the dental schools to see if they have your file and if it is completed. For some schools you can send the application fee right away without waiting for them to contact you, however with others its good to have a little bit more patience. I spoke with someone from Temple and she said that since I have sent my application fee before they have contacted me I might get the check back. Also some schools require you to send them directly official transcripts so be ready for that too.

You can find AADSAS phone number here : http://aadsas.adea.org/
Call in the mornings!

Good luck

xkurkox,

You can also use that website that boyan gave you to determine which schools you should be sending your application fees/photos to right away. That info is listed under "suplemental materials". Send out all of that stuff ASAP if that is what the school wants you to do.
