starting AADSAS and TMDSAS applications early?

Hi, I think I read on here a little while ago that there are some people who have dumped both the TMDSAS and AADSAS applications in a word document so people can start gathering their information beforehand. I'm not sure if this is against the rules so if it is, I won't inquire about it anymore. But if it's not, does anyone know where to find it? I take my DAT May 13th which is after the TMDSAS opens and I'd really like a head start on it so I can do a little of it at a time now while I'm also studying for the DAT. I don't see myself starting the application until after I take the test otherwise.

Here's the PDF for the ADEA AADSAS manual:

I applied to Baylor and don't remember any difficult questions for TMDSAS.

1. Why do you want to attend a Texas dental school?
2. If you're not a current student, what is your occupation? Give details.
3. If your academic career hasn't been continuous, explain what you've been doing.
4. Give a brief statement about yourself beyond that which has already been presented. It goes on to give examples about what you can write about ie motivation, your values, etc. Very open ended.

No PDF version though 🙁. Thanks for asking this question! I had no clue what TMDSAS was!

on the pdf it says " ADEA AADSAS processing takes 4-6 weeks after your application, transcripts, and payment is received." So when people say the application window opens in June (btw is that right?)...does that mean you have to have your application submitted to the AADSAS before then? Can someone please clarify this whole thing?

thanks

The way I understand it, is that when applications open early June, you start to do your app and then you submit it. It's not due by June, it opens in June. It's due much later on but I'd recommend starting and finishing it in June.
