Hey everyone, I have a couple questions regarding payments:

1) Do you pay the supplemental fees to the dental schools online, via their websites? or do you send them cheques directly?

2) To whom do you address the cheque? The Dental School? The Admissions officer? (ie: do I make the payment to Dr. Edward Thibodeau, or to University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine?)
Dr. Edward Thibodeau
Office of Admissions, AGO30-MC3905
University of Connecticut
School of Dental Medicine
Farmington, CT 06030
sdm.uchc.edu


3) If I have to mail these cheques, am I supposed to include a letter saying who I am, AADSAS #, thank you, etc.?

Check out each school's website and it'll clearly tell you to whom to address the payment, and what payment methods are available.

Keep in mind if you are Canadian, and they want the payments in American funds, you are going to need to get money orders from either your local postal office or bank.
 
oh good call on the US dollar thing!

Does anyone know if you're just supposed to send a cheque in an envelope? or should I include a letter as well?

I sent out a couple without letters, and just in envelopes, but usually I would put in a little slip of paper with my name, aadsas #, address, etc. At least put your aadsas number on the check (cheque, my wife is canadian so I enjoy the spelling).
