Hey guys, I'm going to apply in May 08. I was wondering how the AADSAS work. I already have my DAT scores and my 3 letter of recs that we need for dental school. Can I send these in now to the school? Or do I have to wait and submit the AADSAS then I can send in the LOR/DAT. I know there are some options on the AADSAS about DAT and LOR, what do we have to do on there? Do we just input our scores and send our LOR to AADSAS and they post everything there, then send it to dental schools? Thanks, Happy New Year!!

When the AADSAS application comes out in May, only then can you submit your LOR's and DAT. Your LOR's will go to AADSAS, who will then mail them to the schools. You will have to request the ADEA send out or "official" DAT scores to the schools of your choosing.

so, how do we upload our LOR's to AADSAS. Will we ask our school(the careers center) to send it out to AADSAS? We just send it to AADSAS address and they upload it for us? The careers center at my school already has all my copies and they say that they will mail them to dental schools by scanning and then just sending it to the dental school's mail. I don't understand what the AADSAS play with the LOR. Also, for the DAT, do we need to send them to AADSAS too? Or can we just send them by the ADA website to the dental schools?

I didn't even bother sending my LORs to AADSAS because my school sent them directly to the dental schools. I think AADSAS only accepts like 4 LORs anyways. In terms of DAT scores, I asked ADA to forward copies to AADSAS and the dental schools.
Good luck
