OK...I got the email from AADSAS, as I'm sure all of you have, and they want feedback. This is so funny to be because I just think of all the horrible things people have said. These guys must get ripped so bad by freaking-out predents who blame all their problems on them, it's almost kind of sad. Anyway, I thought maybe just for the fun of it everyone could for once take out their frustrations on a third party, AADSAS, in hope that maybe they will be spared in their survey. Go ahead...let is all out🙂
 
i was looking forward to this big time. good thing the email was sent when i have 3 tests in one week-aggression is riding high!
 
I think it's funny they used some other site to do their survey. You're telling me they couldn't program it on their own website? They're able to handle a reasonably complex website with all our applicant stuff in a database but not a survey?
 
I read a lot of bad things about AADSAS but I think my stuff was mailed out on time..just about 2 weeks after I submitted it. But the cost per school is too much so on that I would give a negative.
 
yeah, i don't know what everyone is complaining about. My stuff was handled in a timely manner, not lost, etc.

My only complaint is that they couldn't provide me with the reason why one of my LORs was "incomplete". It's already an inconvenience to ask dentists for LORs but then to ask them for another b/c AADSAS said it is "incomplete" w/out any reason is absurd. Also, AADSAS is mad expensive & their updates suck.

ok, i guess im the one complaining now 🙂

good luck everyone....less than 1 month!

Yeah I agree, the only things I really had problems with (that I let them know, cause its true and they need some fixin) was first they are WAYY over priced for what they do and they get away with it because they have a monopoly... Secondly, if im paying that much for some photocopies, dammit, YOU sit there and enter my courswork for the last 4 years.. Next, I want to be able to format my personal statement that I worked many hours on properly (indenting) and not have to worry about special characters showing up like im cursing my brains out.. ie... If I wanted to put "whatever" and it shows up like #I&(&#(&& cause I copied and pasted.. Not cool... And lastly, there is no excuse for why the application status is out of date, thats the only service we really even ask aadsas for... There was someone on here who posted they had done like 10 interviews already and aadsas showed ONE... CMON man, thats unacceptable.. were all waiting on this like a cliff hanger.. Wow, now that I read that back to myself, I guess I really did have some issues with aadsas.. I was much kinder in the survey tho... 😍

See what I mean? I thought I was satisfied to, and their questions don't really address all the issues. When you start talking about it, it all comes out...aaaahhhh, feel better now huh?🙂
