After You Apply
Processing
After you submit your application, TMDSAS will process and transmit your application to the dental schools.
TMDSAS does not wait on transcripts, letters or test scores to process applications. It is your responsibility to ensure that TMDSAS has received all supplemental materials.
While You Wait
While you wait to hear from the dental schools, here are some things you may want to do to prepare.
Status Check
Log in to your TMDSAS Application. Be sure that your [Status] page indicates that all your transcripts, letters and DAT scores have been received.
If something you submitted doesn't show up within a reasonable amount of time, you may want to send another copy or check with us to find out why.
Complete Secondary Applications
Secondary applications should be completed as soon as you submit your TMDSAS application.
Any questions relating to a secondary application should be directed to the respective school. Any secondary application required documents and/or fees should be sent directly to the school and NOT to TMDSAS.

Update Your Application
After submitting your application, you may make updates as needed to certain sections.
You are able to make changes to the following sections yourself by logging back on to the application: Contact Info, Colleges Attended, College Coursework, Planned Enrollment, My Account and Test Scores.
To update the information in your Letters of Evaluation section, you must email TMDSAS at tmdsas@utsystem.edu - include your full name, TMDSAS ID and the exact change that needs to be made.
Be sure to update this information whenever necessary. For instance, if you retake the DAT, be sure to add the new test date to the application and send us the new score once it is released.
