Do we need to send checks(secondary appl fee) to dental schools that I will be applying right after submitting app???



Send these materials directly to the dental schools At the Same Time you send AADSAS materials:
 Application fee $75
 Official DAT scores

People said that I can submit it without the dat scores..
Does anyone have ideas when to send secondary fee??
I'm confused...

If you have submitted your application, send those checks asap to the school's that request a fee immediately.

You send secondary fees when you receive secondary applications from the school.

After I receive secondary app from the school? or after submitted thru AADSAS??

Depends on the school. It varies, but is pretty simple. If the directions say to send a check at the same time you submit, then send a check at the same time you submit. If the directions say to wait until you receive a secondary or are contacted by the school, then wait to send the check until then.

Just follow the directions.

Check the link that has all the supplementary information on AADSAS. Each schools has different requirements. Some say to fill out supplementary applications and pay their fee AT THE SAME TIME as submitting your application, some want you to wait until they contact you. Check with each school you are applying to. For me, there are 9 schools that want application fees paid right now, so I'm busy writing checks today.

I really appreciated it all your responses!!
are you sending them checks only or is there any cover letter or ID# we should write...?

What about the DAT scores?? Schools that I will b applying says OFFICIAL DAT SCORES at the same time as submitting..
If I haven't take it yet, do I need to delay submittinG?

Check each school's website as far as what to include. Some schools want you to write specific info on the front of the check, while others may require a picture or something.

With each check that I mailed, I also put a piece of paper containing my AADSAS ID, DENTPIN, full name, address, and phone number.

You should be fine having DAT scores sent in when you've taken them as long as you've marked on your AADSAS application that you have yet to take it. Regarding the payment, you should check the school website and see what they need. If they say they want it immediately, send it. Call them first though since sometimes they can have an obscure link where you can pay it online instead of sending a check through the mail. I know Pacific has a link on its website that allows you to send them the 75$. This site might also help regarding secondaries and what not.

Thank you!

You got 24~! wow! 30 on QR!!! How did you prepare for QR???
Im only studying kaplan & Destroyer...

I don't mean to sound arrogant, but I was kinna expecting a 30 on QR. I didn't prep for it unless you call being in high school mathletes for 3 years as preparation. Math just happens to be my best subject, and I was focusing on make sure I self taught myself ochem the right way. All I can say really is know your basic math. Algebra, trig, conversions, simplification, the like. Sorry I can't be more helpful on that :/

They did started letting us use the calculator program on the test this year though (the one in applications on windows comps (dunno about mac)) No keyboard though, so it could slow you down :/
