re: supplemental applications...

can you get interviews if the dental schools have not got their $ and supplemental applications?

Ideally you should send these into dental schools after or before you submit your AADSAS applications?

also for LOR's goto AADSAS right? It is my understanding that AADSAS handles LOR's but dental schools seem to want me to send the LOR to them directly. Which is it?

You usually can't get an interview unless your application is complete at the school since they won't even look at it until it is. To be complete a school needs your supplemental app (if there is one required) and most importantly your money. Once you complete your AADSAS, you should immediately send in your money and fill out the supplementals. The quicker you can get it in, the better chance you stand of getting an earlier interview spot.

Most schools prefer you send your LORs directly to AADSAS, I don't know of any schools that want them separately (though there might be some out there; one exception is schools who don't use AADSAS - you'll need to send them directly to the school). You should look on the school's admission website and if that doesn't specifically say, you could always contact them.

Good luck!

after i submit my AADSAS i sent checks to all the schools. you can send it before, but before i was busy filling out my AADSAS. after i sent in my AADSAS i had time to write all the checks. the schools i applied to all got the DAT and checks early. i think they just put it in a file for you and wait for your AADSAS.
