Do you send transcripts to each school your applying to or just AADSAS?

When you make your AADSAS account it will generate a matching form with a barcode. You will have to include that with your transcript for it to count as official. AADSAS will then verify and send your application to each school. You only need to send one transcript at this stage.

AADSAS will reopen your application for an academic update in mid-November. Wait until your fall quarter grades are posted on your transcript (until -late December). Once again, you will only need to send one copy directly to AADSAS who will distribute the update after verification.

At this point, you will no longer communicate with AADSAS

If you are waitlisted, schools may ask for a transcript directly to learn of your winter grades.

When you are accepted, schools will ask for a direct final transcript which must include your degree and last spring quarter grades.

I am a dentist in Sacramento, CA. During undergrad, I served as the President of my local Pre-Dental Society and learned the intricacies of the dental admissions process. PreDents.com documents much of what I learned during that time.
