dental application 2019

So for some reason there is a college under my "transcript entry" that I never attended. I don't know how it got there and it's making me worried that it might hinder my application in some way. There doesn't seem to be any way of removing it from my application. I called ADEA and they told me...

So lots of these types of threads have been popping up about questions about how to submit something or how to do something, so I'll be adding them to this thread one by one so that people can have these to refer to all in one place! Going forward, please post new questions in this thread, and...

Hey all! I have a question about how to approach an issue I am having with getting a letter of recommendation from a dentist. I have shadowed a prestigious oral surgeon and respect him highly. I am very non confrontational so it was hard as is to ask him for a letter in the first place, but a...

This May sound like a dumb question, but for the AADSAS application to dental school, do you have to wait until May 15 to have your letters of recommendation submitted? That is the only date I can find online for when the new cycle “soft-opens”, but it seemed kind of late to me. Just wanted to...

Hey everyone, I know oftentimes it is more helpful to reach out to admission officers at individual schools regarding the question to retake the DAT or not, but I was just curious if anyone had any feedback on my current situation. I plan on applying June 2019. The part that bugs me the most...

Dental school tuition is steep. I heard from somewhere that we can try to "negotiate" scholarships into our financial aid package. I was wondering if that's a good idea and how people can go about doing that without being "rude"? For an example, I would love to go to your school and it's my...

Hi, I applied to a number of dental programs this cycle. Among them was Marquette University. I received an email today saying that quote: "The Admissions Committee of the Marquette University School of Dentistry has reviewed your application and supporting credentials for the 2019 Freshman...

I sent my application to Tufts back in July and paid my supplement fee as soon as possible (mid-August). A day later, I got a receipt of my payment, so I assumed everything was good. I believe my status for Tufts stayed at "Under review" for the longest time. However, I received an email from...

Thank you.

Hey guys, I took the suggestion of applying before I completed my DAT. At the beginning of June, I submitted my applications to UCLA, UoP, UCSF, Western, USC, Rutgers, and Maryland. Now that I finished my DAT, I am trying to figure out which other schools I should add. I am a California native...

Hey everyone! I’m new sdn and I wanted to use my first post to gather some opinions. A little about me— I am a veteran of the United States Air Force and current student-athlete. While in the military, I served as a dental assistant and was awarded the Military Outstanding Volunteer Service...

Hey Guys, So I am currently almost done sending out all of my apps, and for my gap year I was originally planning to work part time as a research assistant at the UNC School of Dentistry. They wanted me to start as a volunteer, and when I gained some experience I would then start being paid...

Hey guys! I was wondering if anyone went through this similar situation. I submitted my AADSAS on June 17th and I got an email on June 21st, which told me my transcripts were verified. I was confused because I thought the process was supposed to take 3-4 weeks, so I called AADSAS. I asked the...
