Not sure if it's like this on any of the other secondary apps as well since this is the first one I'm filling out, but for the evaluations information, what are we supposed to put there if we have a committee letter? I'm a little confused why we fill this out again on a secondary app since it's already a part of the primary app.. Do we just put what we put in the AADSAS app for our committee letter here as well? Will I have to have my letters sent again or do they just want you to fill out here who wrote your letters that you turned in to AADSAS?
 
dont sweat it. it's due on march 1st 2014. plenty of time.

Instructions are pretty clear. If you have committee, you put that for one letter and your dentist for the other. You don't need to send them again. They just want to know which letters to look at. For example, an applicant might have 4 individual letters. They want to know which 2 you're using for the requirement.

You will find lots of redundancy between aadsas and secondaries.
 
For the volunteer experience section did you guys use your descriptions from AADSAS or did you embellish a bit, free of the 175 character limit? I think I'm going to expand on those descriptions, but not overly so.

I'd beef it up.
 
When I looked on their website it says that secondary applications will be sent out to those who qualify. What do they mean qualify? I received an email today requesting secondary app, I was just curious if they request it from everyone?

I think it's a GPA/DAT cutoff screen only for secondaries.
 
well, I also received their secondary but I havent even taken the DAT yet. Any thoughts on that?😕😕😕😕

Well, it's must be GPA only. In fact, that's what the website says:

"Applicants meeting the minimum GPA requirements will be sent instructions to complete an online secondary application, which will be assessed at a $70 application fee with a January 31 deadline."

The requirement for oGPA and sGPA: 2.50 (you know that's what attracts applicants who drop some cash without knowing about the school)

3,600 applications last year...most probably paid the secondary fee =$250,000. I think around 400 interview. Can we get more than granola bars and cold half-sandwhiches for lunch, please?
