When do dental school open up the cycles and receive applications? Is every school the same about when the cycle opens or do the differ?

is it in june or mid of may?
 
Here is a quick rundown of the cycle, hope it helps.

June 4th - AADSAS opens
last week of June - first batch sent to schools from AADSAS
Mid July - some schools like Case start sending out interviews (rare)
Mid August - most schools have sent out interviews
September - schools like USC do not review any applicant until their classes start back up (i called to verify)
December 1st - first wave of acceptances
Early January - second big wave of offers of acceptance (after deposits due for the first wave)
Late January - wait list and rejection time
Mid April - (possible) final wave of acceptances, only one school may be held per student after this time
 
As mentioned above, most schools don't give out interviews until August.

also, some schools don't even start looking at applications until very late (Aug/Sept). UCLA, Tufts, etc (apparent USC according to the above post)

Patience is key. I was praying for 1 acceptance and ended up with 7.
 
what is the latest date you can or should e-submit so your application to go out in the first batch?

should you e-submit w/out all LOR & DAT score or wait ?
