Assuming (hopefully) I do well enough on the DAT in a three weeks, is it in my best interest to complete the entire dental school application and have them all sent out before the end of June since they come out on June second?

Or should I try to complete them even before that/wait longer than that?
 
And I know I can't start any of the essay stuff until they come out on June second, but is it possible to upload my rec letters and send in other stuff like that so it's already in the system before the applications come out?

Work on your personal statement now. Definitely try to submit by the end of June. I have been told by admissions staff that your best bet is to submit no later than mid-July. But since you will have your DAT done you might as well submit earlier than that

Yeah I started working on my personal statement back in December. Taking a break from it now and am on about my fifth draft or so. Hope to finish it up after I take the DAT
