The ADEA AADSAS instructions state:
"Volunteer: Volunteer work done outside of the health care field; for example, working for Habitat for Humanity, tutoring students, participating in or working for a fundraiser walk or blood drive, etc."
Why does it say "outside of the health care field" ...
Hello I am working on my AADSAS applicaton right now, and I am wondering how to link my interfolio account with my AADSAS application? I have a couple of LOR's in my interfolio already do I need to send LOR requests through the AADSAS app also?
Hey people, so I’m kind of in a predicament here and was looking for some thoughts and opinions. I’m currently filling out the AADSAS application and wanted to have it finished by June 5 to submit it as soon as it opens up. However, I’m realizing this won’t happen if I want to get a committee...
AADSAS application opened today, so I thought it would be a good idea to contain discussion about the application to a central thread that is easily accessible. Good luck everyone!
Hi, I'm a fellow predental who applied the last cycle in 2017 but had no luck with the cycle, so I have been taking some classes and am going to retake DAT soon to prep for this upcoming 2018 cycle. I just have couple questions that I wanted to ask you guys who applied more than once to the...
I am curious to know whether the academic update is required or not. I took a lot of upper level classes such as anatomy and biochemistry. Unfortunately I fell sick due to sinus problems for a while which impacted my GPA tremendously. I applied with a 3.5 but now my GPA fell to 3.35.
I have...
I'm majoring in biology but I plan on minoring in music. Since my school transcript won't show minors, is there a place you could put it down in the AADSAS? I know minors don't matter that much but if there's an option to put it on the application, I think it'd still be good to do so.
Either...
Hi guys. So long story short, I submitted my application on August 3rd and my oGPA was calculated to be a 3.49 and my sGPA was calculated to be a 3.61. Four months later I now realize that there has been a huge mistake.. they double counted a full-year business course that I got a 2.0 GPA in...
I took my DAT in January 2017 and recently (12/01/17) was accepted into dental school. These are the materials I used to prepare for the exam and I highly recommend this study package to anyone who really wants to pass the DAT exam with high scores. Selling bundle for $250(USD).
This bundle...
Hey guys,
So I was accepted to Creighton and I received an email about providing consent for a background check through the website applicationstation.com
I am currently creating an account and am attempting to plug in my AADSAS number. My number is only 10 digits, but the site is saying that...
My AADSAS has been verified since the summer. Last night, as I was preparing to add another "achievement" to that section on my AADSAS application, I had an unfortunate slip of the finger resulting in me submitting an empty achievement titled "e". No description. Nothing.
After emailing AADSAS...
Hi everyone,
This may be an obvious/redundant question, but I was just wondering how the process of submitting letters of recommendation is when applying to dental schools? When I ask my professors to write one and they agree, do they have to upload it directly on to AADSAS, or would they give...
Hey all pre-dentals, do you know whether or not ADEA AADSAS sends updates on shadowing and volunteer experience to dental schools even after your application has been submitted?
For example, I submitted my application in early July, and am just waiting on interviews. However, if I want to go...
Hi y'all!
I am applying this year. I have turned in my application. However, I did not realize one letter I receive from my Pre-dental society does not count as a committee letter until WesternU informed me about it. On AADSAS, there is this rule that I can only submit 1 committee letter and 1...
Several questions about the AADSAS:
1. If I shadow at a dental clinic, do I list the name of the clinic I shadowed at or list all the dentists I shadowed there?
2. Would I be able to include leading a bible study group (organized by my church)?
3. If the application has a limited number of...
So I'm currently entering my transcript info into the AADSAS App. It asks for the number grade (95%, etc) I received for each class, and then automatically generates the letter grade. My problem is that I took Orgo I and got an 84, but my professor curved the course so that an 84 was an A-. My...
Does anyone else think supplementals/secondary apps should only be sent to the students that admissions really feel make good candidates rather than just anyone that has the minimum gpa? Like we spend days answering these supplemental questions and then it's almost as if they don't even read...
My dentist had me write my own LOR but she's going to make changes to it and will ultimately send it in herself to AADSAS. Do I waive my right to read it or no? Please help!!!
Theres a section about credit when adding a course. Am I supposed to put down the credit I earned or how many credit hours the class was(credits attempted)?
I took my DAT a few weeks ago and it just got processed/verified according to my account on the ADA website. How will I know it was transferred to my AADSAS application? Will it just change from "UNOFFICIAL DAT" to "OFFICIAL DAT" ? Thanks!
Hi I know I am late in the process for sending my primary application but had a question whether to send my primary application first without the DAT score or send the whole package with my DAT test which I will take in next 2 weeks or so... I have almost finished my primary application (just...
My transcript has been received and verified, and the notification said it would take 24 hours to view my calculated gpa. I've been looking everywhere and I can't find it for the life of me.
So i am about to finish my bachelors degree in biology in less than 2 weeks. However with that being said before i apply to dental program ( NOVA) i plan on taking a Gap year to enhance my resume and get service hours.
QUESTION:
I am unfamiliar with the AADSAS application site and was...

Hi:
I made a mistake when I submit my application. When I entered my unofficial DAT score I mistakenly switched my Ochem and GenChem score. So my unofficial score does not match my official score. I called ADEA. They said they can't change it.
Is that error matter? Should I contact the dental...

I took ASL in high school to fulfill my language requirement, and ended up using it to fulfill my college language requirement. It shows up as units on my actual transcript as transfer courses, but no grade shows up. All other classes were taken at my undergrad. Do i need to request a transcript...
Hi:
I am selecting 6 experience in my cover pages. I have 100+ shadowing experience, bu non of the specific one is above 100. Should I list one of them or all of them?
Thank you
At the end of AADSAS, when we're matching prerequisites with the courses from our transcripts, are we supposed to just put the minimal amount of courses that fit that prerequisite category? Or are we supposed to match every course on our transcript that fits the prerequisite category?
Hey all,
So I went to submit my application yesterday, but I held off because I got nervous about my evaluators not being to able to submit evaluations after I have submitted my AADSAS application. I had seen on here that evaluators CAN send them after AADSAS submission. However, when I went to...
For those of you that applied in previous cycles, what schools gave you decent scholarships? And if you don't mind elaborating, what were your stats? There isn't much out there on this. After searching SDN, I realized some of the large private schools like BU and NYU do offer good $$ to...
I am a bit confused about the supplemental application process and had a few questions!
1) I am submitting my AADSAS within the next day, but am I allowed to submit it without completing the "Program Materials" quadrant? Some of the schools' pages on AADSAS have a question section such as "Why...
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if I could get some advice foe the secondary application. A lot of schools ask... "Why ___ School of Dentistry?" Would you recommend to highlight many aspects of the school, or just focus on maybe 2 unique things that really stand out to you? At first I was...

My AADSAS app is complete, all I'm waiting for is for the Professional Transcript Entry to be completed. I sent out a request to all the schools I've attended for my transcripts to be sent to AADSAS, and now I'm wondering if I can submit, or if I have to wait for Professional Transcript Entry to...
Hello!
I'll be finishing my masters in the first week of July and final grades will be posted no later than one week after that, so my question: should I delay submitting my application until I get my completed transcript or submit now? I'm worried that if I submit now and my GPA gets verified...
