An honest mistake

When I e-submitted to AADSAS on Tuesday, I wrote that I received 2 As during Winter Semester 2005. Grades were not yet posted, but I made an educated guess. Grades are now up, and those 2 As that I wrote are actually both A-. I know AADSAS verifies what we write with transcripts they receive, but will dental schools see that I essentially lied? Am I being paranoid??

You can make addendums to AADSAS, But I'm not sure of the process.

AADSAS will send you a confirmation packet of your grades, aka the "pink sheet," and paperwork to correct any mistakes.

You have likely just delayed your application to schools by a few weeks while they input the corrections. Not to worry, though, you are very early in the process.

Actually, if I am not mistaken I beleive that AADSAS actually encourages applicants to make educated guesses about their future grades since the AADSAS update form is only available after January.

I seriously WOULD NOT worry if I were you. If you received a C and wrote A then maybe that would suspicious, but you got an A- and wrote A. TOTALLY NOTHING TO STRESS OVER. RELAX!!!! 🙂

No school is going to care that you received A- grades instead of the As you had assumed. You didn't lie, you made an honest mistake. It happens.

You can either worry about it and go through the process with AADSAS to change it once you are sent your confirmation sheet (which in an of itself will be a hellish process) or you can not worry about it.

I'm doubting that adcoms will even notice it. Seriously.

The other rather humorous fact is that you could probably ask AADSAS to change it after receiving your confirmation sheet, and the odds are pretty good that they wouldn't ever change it.

Personally, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

Don't worry about it. It's really no big deal. A buddy of mine put down "Semester" for everything, when actually here was on the "Quarter" system. He thought it would make it look like it took 8 years to get an undergrad 😱 . Before it got changed through AADSAS, he'd already been accepted to 3 schools.

I really like this song...but I doubt schools will care. AADSAS of course will send them your real transcripts, and verify the error.

i agree with people that say it's probably not a big deal as long as you correct it eventually... but i am not sure why you estimated in the first place if grades were going to be posted this week anyway? i realize in your case what's done is done, but for other's reference applying to aadsas a week or even a month after the application comes out is still pretty early, so i'd just wait until your actual grades come out.

I would wait to correct it till after AADSAS has forwarded everything to the school. Then they can make amends and sent an update to the school.

Some schools or most do not have the (+-) grades. So essentially it is just an A either way. I would't worry about it.
