questions about transcripts and DAT scores

Some schools require that DAT scores be sent AT THE SAME TIME as the AADSAS, and some schools require that transcripts be sent to the Dental schools after admissions officer contacts you. What does that exactly mean? Don't we send our transcript directly to AADSAS and they send it to different schools? What if I take the DAT after i submit my AADSAS application? How can I send the scores at the same time as my applications?

THIS IS SO CONFUSING!

which schools require 1 non science LOR? do schools require 3 science LOR and 1 non science or just the 3 science? so basically what i'm trying to ask is.. is there a school that requires 3 science LOR and 1 non science/ 1 dentist?

DAT scores are sent directly to schools, not to aadsas first. When you take the test you will have the option to send it to 5 schools for free and then pay 25$ per school to send it to more schools, and you can send out copies to more schools whenever you like.

Yes, you send transcripts (with the matching form) to AADSAS, and they will forward them to your designated schools. Also, you can submit your application before you take the DAT...in the DAT scores section, simply indicate that you will be taking it on a future date, and make sure you request to send a score report to all schools you are applying to!

Do we submit supp apps (like app fees, DAT scores, or transcripts) when our application is sent to the schools or when we esubmit? I am confused...

For schools that say to send app fees, etc. at the same time you submit your AADSAS, you can go ahead and mail them in when you e-submit. It will also be wise to include your AADSAS number on your check as well, to limit any confusion. The few schools that I have talked with already said to go ahead and submit this stuff when you esubmit.
