WoW AADSAS is so slow that it took them a month and a half to send out my transcript alone!!!! This is ridiculous.

With AADSAS, who knows. :laugh:
You're right Sprgrover!! I received my confirmation packet today. It was mailed on the 21st. I'm so happy that everything is correct and the schools should finally be receiving my application!! 👍
 
I too recieved my AADSAS confirmation packet today. My application was submitted Aug 3rd

For those of you who have applied early, did AADSAS mail your pink confirmation sheet at the same time they mailed your application to the dental schools; or did the pink sheet come weeks after they mailed the application to the dental schools?


I believe when my application was sent to schools, it was the same time that they sent me my pink confirmation sheet.

I checked Infosource and it said that AADSAS mailed my application on 9/23. What I can't understand is that they received one of my letters on 9/16 but it didn't go out with the rest of my application. 😕
 
My question is not about aadsas#, but I really don't want to start another thread.

I just received my pink confirmation slip from aadsas and I have a question! My GPAs are shown under 2 columns: "inc.+-" and "w/o +-"

Can anyone tell me what they mean? Which ones will the schools look at?
 
inc +/- means that the grade was calculated with B+ being worth more than B which is worth more than B-, etc. w/o +/- means it is just A, B, C, etc. it depends on the school and what grading scale they use as to which one they look at.

thanks, biogirl! I guess I have to hope they use the "inc +-"!

The "inc +-" gpa factors in + and - grades, like A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, etc. So, roughly, an A+ is 4.3, A is 4.0, A- is 3.7, B+ 3.3 and so on.

The "w/o +-" gpa just uses A, B, C, D, F grades and does not use + and - grades. So, no A-, B+, B- etc. in this grading system.

My guess is that the dental schools will look at both, that is prolly why AADSAS includes both of them. But then, maybe it depends on the school.
 
to recieve your number once you have submitted your app?

thanks
 
mine took about 6 weeks. aadsas sent out the application to schools in 3 weeks, but i didn't recieve the pink sheet with the number for 6 weeks. you can call before that to get your number though. also i applied may 19 so they did mine faster than people that applied in aug or sept. i would give them 4 to 6 weeks to send it to schools and maybe 2 months to get you the pink sheet.
 
Bump.


Just want to see how high the current numbers have reached.
 
mine shipping tommorrow applied end o august over 4700+
 
mobius: what date did you apply in??

i am sept 13.. hope its only 2 more weeks.. idon't want to be pushed into november.. but my luck it will be like 2nd week of novemeber
 
yea so i finally got them to pick up....

submeitted sept 13, going to be sent out the week of oct 25 - i guess oct 29?

my number is 54**

i guess alot more people applied earlier this year... kinda sucks
 
i applied aug 31. it shipped yesterday

wish i applied beginning of august but i was a little woried about the dat. of course i had the time to take it again so i should have just applied, but no big deal i dont think october is to late to get your apps out there. yours should go out on time mine went out one day early 😀
 
For all those who have failed to get through to the AADSAS:

I submitted my app on Wed Sept. 8th and they told me that it will be sent by Friday Oct. 22th. Hope that saved someone a phonecall.
 
am i the last one to have applied or something?? nobody after me to make feel better hehe
 
I submitted my app to AADSAS on Sept 4 and it was mailed out Oct. 14
 
i submitted mine aug 9 and i am #3959..i only just received confirmation that schools received it in the past week!
 
Does anyone know how long it takes infosource to show that your app. was sent. I called last week and they said that my application would be mailed by Friday. I was just wondering if anyone knew when they would update infosource. (I'll just feel better once infosource says that my app. was sent 🙂 )

Infosource is updated sporadically, and once AADSAS creates your file, it is left up to the schools to post information. Give them some time, although Infosource should reflect the date that your application was mailed out. It took a while before anything showed up, and even then AADSAS posted incorrect information (said things were sent when they weren't, etc.) and it took some time until everything was ironed out.
 
Infosource updated 🙂 I submitted my app. Sept 8th and they sent it off Oct 21st. My number was in the 5,200's. Even though I won't hear from anyone for awhile, I still feel better seeing that it is on the way to the schools.

It depends on the school. Case was really fast in sending a reply to me, but that was back in July, while some schools waited for about a month before sending a secondary. Since schools are getting overwhelmed with applications at the current moment they might take a bit longer to respond. My hunch is that it will be around three weeks.
 
Applied Sep 27th, and i am in 6400's....
the application might not go out till end of the November 😡
at least i'll have AADSAS confirmation by Dec 1th...

that sucks i sent mine out sept 26th and im 6057..
 
how impressive would it be to have an AADSAS ID of 1? :luck:

:laugh:
i am 49xx ppl after 1... 😛

on a completely different topic, which i don't think really needs a new individual post:
Dr BadVibes....u are THE spokesperson for Temple, i was on the canadian dental students forum, and u wrote so much about Temple, and how good it is....i hope i get an interview there! 👍
 
😛 Hiya folks. I'm a newbie here. Sent mine May 22. My # is between 80 and 90.
 
AADSAS called me this morning. Can you believe it? I am given a number for less than 4 weeks. 68XX, where XX is VERY LOW. He aslo mentioned that the volume seems to go down. So it may not take as long as 6-8 wks as they had mentioned earlier. He said they were speeding up their process too.

that's interesting. when did you submit?

there was someone on this thread who submitted 9/26 with a number 60**, and someone ONE day later with a number 64**. Mine was 12 days after that, and my number was "only" 65**. So i guess only 100 people submitted in those 12 days, vs. the 400 that submitted on one day in september. i think things have calmed down considerably....
 
I submitted my app at the beginning of september (really, late, i know) and my # is in the low 5000s. yikies :scared:

it also took them 7 weeks to process my app; maybe they've speeded up a bit now...
 
I submitted mine online on Oct 15.
 
I am in the 6400's ... submitted Sep 27th.... just got an email from them today that mine will go out in the next 7 days.. yay!!!
 
Want to see where the numbers are this cycle.
 
if someone know the latest AADSAS number, please post. im curious to see if they hit the 10,000 mark.

I called AADSAS today and asked them what the number is and the lady (who seemed a bit annoyed) said that it is well over 9000 applications. She wouldn't give me a precise number, so I help this estimate will satisfy everyone's curiosity.
