I am in the process of filling out my AADSAS application form and was wondering when I would have to pay the application fee for each school? My application will not be completed until I take the DAT, so will I have to pay when my whole application is completed or once I add the school?

You can submit your application without DAT scores if you wish to.

If I remember correctly, after you complete the application, select your designations and submit, it asks for payment for your application to be processed.

For secondaries/supplements, that depends on the school.

Is there really any positive to submitting without my DAT score? I much rather submit when I have everything 100% completed.

They say grade verification can take a few weeks and to allow time for that. In reality though, it only took four days for my grades to be verified. So yeah, I submitted so all that mess would be done with and just updated my DAT when it was done a month later.

What do you think is the most efficient way to get those forms over to the schools for my transcripts to be submitted?

I directly contacted the registrar's office at my Univ. and told them to expect the form. There was a generic e-mail for inquiries for the Registrar at my school and I just used that one to send them. Once I sent, I called again to make sure they had it in hand. I did not want to take the chance that they say "yeah we got it" and then it ends up on a pile.

Exactly, I don't want it to get lost. So you just emailed them over the form and they sent it?

Yes.

Yep. You can even ask for someone's email and follow up to make sure it was sent. Odds are you aren't the only one who has requested one be sentw so they'll know what to do.
