Hey guys! I know that this is very time consuming and may seem like an extra full time job on the side, but don't let all these inconvenient little stuff cloud the excitement that you got your ball rolling already! Some of us are applying too and may never get to roll the ball not even once for what ever reason. So get it going and rolling--in few months it will all be history 😀 I can't wait to start getting emails, letters, ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work.

Is this your second email from VCU, or is it the first one that just states the receipt of your AADSAS application. I'm guessing mine won't be complete and under review until my dental rec is submitted (hopefully next week).

It was my 2nd e-mail from VCU

Dear Albuterol,

Your application is now considered COMPLETE. We have received your DAT scores, letters of recommendations, application fee and photo and included them in your file.

We will review your application in a timely fashion. In the event you are granted an interview, our admissions office will forward a formal invitation by mail and change your AADSAS status to "Invite for Interview." We highly discourage applicants from calling our office to find out if you have been selected for an interview.

Please note that supplemental applications are ONLY sent to those applicants selected for interviews.

Thank you for your interest our dental school.
Congratulations on a bright future.


Sincerely,

VCU School of Dentistry Admissions Committee

My stuff went out 7/10

Ya I got an email from UF today saying they are processing my application, but no secondary yet

Still nothing from BU, Tufts, or Temple

Louisville still hasnt cashed my check either and no packet from Marquette

This waiting sucks! :scared:
 
1) Dental Mom ~ that was so sweet!

2) Kentucky sent me an email saying they received my app fee.
 
Columbia hasn't cashed in the check yet.. :/
I mailed in the check on June 12. All other schools that cashed in the check though..
 
UNLV finally cashed my check yesterday and I received the email from Midwestern for secondary apps.

My app was mailed out 7/10 and the only schools I haven't heard from are Western, Tufts, and Penn (I already sent my supp app and fee when I submitted my app). I hope I hear from Tufts and Penn soon since I see some people already getting emails and packets!!

Got the VCU email today too.
 
Application is complete @ NYU and being forwarded to the admissions committee.
 
anyone heard from Harvard, UCLA, Bufallo, Denver, or UConn? I haven't gotten confirmations from any of them yet.
 
I got a letter from UCONN saying they received the app, and they want recommendation letters now.

Mine went out the same day, and it seems like we've applied to similar schools and are in the same boat with everything thus far. I hate this waiting game too ugh

I called UNC and they said my application was complete but I have gotten nothing else from them and my check hasn't been cashed yet

I've not heard anything from Boston. They haven't even cashed my check. NYU cashed my check on July 13th and sent me a confirmation email on July 15th.
So far...

Stony Brook: App complete
Boston: Nothing
UI Chicago: Confirmation email but withdrew application.
UNJDS: email confirmation. Havent cashed check
U Michigan: cashed check. no confirmation email
Connecticut: cashed check. no confirmation email
Temple: Nothing

From what I remember from the application cylce, Michigan and UNC are both fantastic at cashing checks and never talking to you again. That or I just sucked that bad

FOR BU, tufts, Temple, Nova, and new jersey dental, when do you submit supplemental fees? these schools list no information regarding payment on their website. Or do we wait for them to email us about it? and if so, how long is the wait after you submit aadsas to them?

thanks for your gracious help

I feel you. u can't really do anything right now. and :xf:

temple, boston, nova,...yes u gotta wait for them to send you an email. even if you fill out the secondary, they won't process it till they have your aadsas.
 
My AADSAS app got mailed 7/17. I've only heard from UMDNJ so far concerning receiving my application. Why is it taking so long? I know some schools like BostonU doesn't review app til mid-August, but some people have received emails from UCSF...I wonder if I should call the schools...

They will send you a link in the email they send you that states they received your application.
 
Got an email from Tufts this morning wanting the $70 app fee

But it did not say anything about a supplemental application..Do they ask for that later or is there even one for Tufts?

Tufts website was not helpful either
 
Got an email from u mich. Had an attached document that my app ha been received and is complete

So it's ready for review when everything's in? I'm missing ONE letter from my dentist and he says he's mailing it out in the next day or so but it's holding things up!!

Same here. The secondary is just a form where you fill out personal information (name, address, telephone, email).
 
UNLV app in and sent to adcom, Temple e-mail requesting money, letter from Pacific stating everything is received.
 
email from tufts requesting money
package from upenn saying my application is complete/under review
 
I got an email from Ohio State Univ, they want me to complete their 2ndary application, there is also a 2010 dental shadowing form and can be printed off of their website. my question is that do I need to print it and have my dentist sign it? or the AADSAS "shadowing" section will do the job? I mean even though I listed whom I shadowed and the hours I shadowed, do I still need to to print the form and have my dentist sign and mail it to OSU??
 
got a packet from case...app is ready for review.
got the temple e-mail also.
 
I got an email from Tufts finally asking for the $70 fee and an email from ASDOH saying my secondaries are in.

Also ASDOH and Midwestern both listed that they received my DAT on 05/01/2009 but I didn't take my DAT until 5/21/09. Is anyone else's DAT score dates weird like that????

Probably just a mistake...my UPenn package was addressed to "Richard", which is obviously not my name lol...there's a lot of applicants to keep organized, so I would just call the school up to verify they have all your info correct.
