can't you just click Missouri School of Dentistry in Oral Health on the form
and wouldn't they send the official score to them?

why would we use the alternate institution when the school is already listed ?

I guess they have no way of getting it from ADA electronically.
 
sorry but this thread has been confusing... lets say i had sent my DAT scores directly to all my schools (yeah im an idiot and forgot to check at least one school on the original DAT signup form to send to AADSAS... so there goes like 200 bucks!) and i did click MSDOH but do i have to send it again bcuz they want it to another specific address? thanks!

i called the ada. they said if you check the "MOSDOH" box, your scores will be sent electronically. if you check "alternate institution" and type in the address, your scores will be sent by mail.

i then called mosdoh and she said that they cannot access anything from the ada electronically, which is why they need it sent by mail.

talked to the ada again. they think whoever is running the show with the apps at mosdoh did it at another school a few years back, before everything went electronic, so they are confused about how to access all the online stuff, which is why they are telling us to send by mail, even though they have full online access as far as the ada is concerned.

take home message: send it by mail

I just got an e-mail from Donna Sparks saying:

We were originally told we needed to use the alternate method listed in the secondary application....now the ADA is indicating we can have DAT scores sent electronically but not through AADSAS....check back with us at the end of the week to see if we have accessed them electronically.

Donna

Hope this helps!
 
I think they aren't doing interviews until the spring. However, they have started to send secondary applications that are basically identical to the ASDOH secondary.

BTW, about the DAT score:

I called and they already had mines without having me to do anything extra. But I did list them when I took my DAT in late August.
 
Spoke with some people in ATSU who were familiar with ASDOH and MOSDOH, and they said that they're quite behind on the app process, and are hoping they won't be delayed in starting up the school next fall...but they weren't all that convinced...

Best of luck to anyone who's applying here, and hopefully you'll hear some good news soon 🙂
 
Any news from this school??

i got this email today:

"Your application to A.T. Still University/Missouri School of Dentistry & Oral Health is now complete and has been forwarded to the dental school for review. It may be up to 8 weeks before you are contacted with a decision on your application."

When did you get a confirmation for the completion of your secondary?? Mine was 10/30. No letter here yet.


Question: Do ya'll know if MOSDOH offer interviews based on the same criteria as ASDOH?

i called and they said they won't start looking at applications until january since that's when they'll have a better idea if they're really going to be able to open next fall.
 
I am a MO resident and applied there and luckily was accepted into some other great programs on dec 3. I emailed them and withdrew my application, but if they don't open this upcoming fall I sure hope they do something in terms of reimbursing applicants some $! This is the problem with new programs. If they know for a fact that they will be pushing the time limits and are concerned about accreditation, then why make hundreds of applicants burn more money than they need to!
 
it had a return address from Kirksville, MO but the actual letter said rejection from Arizona. Sorry!

Yeah, I got one of those back in September. The two schools with the same name makes it confusing. But when I called, they also told me that they wouldn't start looking at the applications until January.
