OK
So now matter how many times I read the directions (and they're so flippin' long) I'm still confused.

1) Can we get started before June 3?
How do print our transcript matching forms, and all that before June 3?
If we can't, does this mean theres no way to send everything on June 3?

2) Is it better to use Interfolio for LORs or just have them send it to AADSAS electronically? I'm using my school's committee but want to add some, is that okay?

help please!
 
You can't do anything until June 3rd, including downloading matching transcript forms.

I'm not sure regarding the interfolio deal. I'm getting all my evaluators to mail in a typed letter, rather than electronic.

Good luck figuring that out
 
1. on june 3 when you sign up for you account. they will let you print the transcript matching form which you will give to your registrar to be attached w/ your transcript and sent to AADSAS.

2. if you are using committee letter option then they will only allow you to send it from your committee office and ONLY one more additional REC. letter from your DENTIST and thats it.
If you choose to send individually w/o committee letter then its 4 rec. letter and 1 dentist letter i think or may be all together they have to be 4.

Interfolio is just for your convenience if you have rec letters in them then use it along w/ committee letter by mailing them to your committee office.
 
Unless it has chnaged since last year. (It probably hasn't) You will not be able to access it until June 3rd. You want to get it done ASAP but AADSAS information is sent to schools in batches. Your stuff will take 6-8 weeks to process and will finally get sent probably get sent towards the middle to end of July even if you got it in on June 3rd at 12:01 AM yours would still would not get your application any sooner than the guy that submitted a week later than you. The key to getting in is replying to secondaries quickly.

Good luck
 
quick question regarding the school committee letter and the one other letter. It's only restricted to that of a dentist? No other person can write it? The reason I ask is that i'm currently taking Dental Biochem and the professor agreed to write me a letter pending I do well in his class. Problem is that his class doesn't end til June 21st.

Firstly, do the LORs get sent along with the primary AADSAS application?

Secondly, if that's the case, any suggestions on how to go about with the letter from the Biochem professor?

Sorry to hijack the thread btw but it's sorta related haha
