Yes! thank god for this. I was literally just about to do a search for the discussions that were happening 2-3 weeks ago about secondaries. I just took my DAT and haven't even thought about sending checks or anything.
Stupid questions but if you have the answers, I would appreciate it a lot:
1) lol...so if a school just says "Send $__ at the same time you apply" do I just send a check to the address with my name and AADSAS ID on a separate page?
Should I include anything else with my checks?
2) People are already starting to get interviews and I'm getting worried. My DAT scores won't be sent to schools for 2-4 weeks (most likely 4). I'm clearly not early or at an advantage to other applicants now but am I going to be at a disadvantage for getting interview offers?
1. I think you should put your name and AADSAS ID as the memo of the check. At least that's what I did. 🙂
2. Anyone who's gotten interviews now are really early. Even if you get offers for interviews in August, you're still pretty early. And most schools won't start interviews until August and September anyways! So don't sweat it.
UNC's supplemental can be found here: https://www.dentistry.unc.edu/secure/academic/dds/supplementalapplication/index.cfm
Will help when I can.
Will help when I can.
When your application gets mailed to schools by AADSAS, they'll start to send you notifications. Right now concentrate on the DAT and don't even think about your application. You'll have the 2-4 weeks after your test (when scores are processed and sent to AADSAS...{to be subsequently sent to schools})
