I'll keep this as short as I can;

I plan on taking the DAT this coming winter break. I started looking into how to sign up and found the ada site, created my DENTPIN and basically know now how to sign up for the DAT. Still haven't signed up yet bc I'm just nervous! 🙁

BUT, I have seen so many posts on here about applications, and submitting grades and classifying them as science or non-science grades and all that... but what I don't understand, is where everyone is going to create this online profile of themselves with all their grades posted and all that. From all the forums, it seems like there's one place you go to submit all your grades, letters, DAT scores, etc and you build a profile of yourself... which is then sent as one piece to whatever school you desire. But where is this site? Is it still ADA? I feel like this is a really stupid question but I've been searching for days now and just can't figure it out 🙁

Thank you for everyone's help in advance! 🙂
 
Posted too soon! Haha literally 20 min later I found their number and called ADEA. I didn’t even know they had a number! But for anyone else that’s getting really confused by all this info out there and all these forum postings.... I thought there was like a “hub” or website where you could build your profile over time and keep updating things throughout undergrad until you finally finished all your requirements such as DAT, grades, letters of rec., etc and then just submit all this info at once... But the person I spoke to on the phone told me normally people don’t “keep updating this throughout their undergrad” but instead just create this entire application the year they are applying and send it out to schools a few months later... not a few years later [emoji28] I haven’t filled anything out yet but he said if I wanted to keep updating it as I progressed through undergrad there’s a way to save all the info and carry it over for later. I think I have a decent understanding of how it works now but if I’m wrong or if anyone wants to add anything on, please go ahead!

Basically you start an application (AADSAS) the year before you want to enter dental school.
This cycle soft opened May 15th (you could start filling things out), with first day of submission being June 5th. It will go until next May (2019). People applying this cycle will interview from July 2018~March 2019 for the chance to start dental school in Fall 2019. This is similar to applying to undergrads, where you apply before you start senior year (unless you're a non-trad -> diff story). You got all the main info down though- you gotta fill everything out asap and submit asap to give yourself the best possible chance at getting interviews and acceptances.

You can head here for the instructions, what you need, what happens, etc: The application to dental school: ADEA AADSAS
