Hi everyone,

I'm in a bit if a sticky situation right now. Because the lease to the apartment I just lived in the past year ended yesterday, the address I put on my AADSAS application is the address to my new apartment (which I will be living in for this upcoming semester of school). The thing is, that lease doesn't start until next week. Therefore, I am wondering.. do dental schools MAIL secondaries, and if they do, which ones? The reason I'm asking is because I have no way of getting any mail until about a week and a half so I won't be able to get those secondaries. I'm currently staying at a friend's house until then and my actual home-home address is hundreds of miles away from campus. Basically, there was no way to avoid this situation due to the time my application was submitted.

Any suggestions? I feel like most secondaries are sent via email and others, like Columbia, USC, etc. only ask for a supplemental fee so it shouldn't be a big problem....
 
I didn't have a single secondary mailed to me. They all either just wanted money, had an online secondary or emailed me a secondary.

Make sure mail is being forwarded to the new address. Most supplemental apps are through email (or you have to mail it after printing it out to them). Penn is the only school to which I applied that communicates only through mail.
