Has anybody been contacted by UF yet? I am still waiting on an email by them. My aadsas was mailed on 6/22/12 and I am becoming concerned.
Thank you for submitting your application to the American Association of Dental Schools Application Service (AADSAS) for the University of Florida College of Dentistry entering class of 2013.
We have received your application and it is currently in the review process. If you plan to retake the DAT exam, please notify us immediately of your plans. Otherwise, we will review your application with the current scores.
You will be able to check on the status of your application by logging into your online AADSAS application at www.adea.org and going to the "Status" section. If you would like to learn more about our application process please visit our website at www.dental.ufl.edu. We will contact you if additional information is required.
Does UF no longer have a $30 application fee? There was no mention of it in the e-mail or their website (http://dental.ufl.edu/admissions/dmd-program/application-deadline-and-procedures/)
Does receiving a supplemental app from UF actually mean they are interested from what they have seen in your primary application? As in, a possible interview may be coming up?
Same! So excited. And since I'm obsessive compulsive, I already wrote the essay for the prompt from last year so my supplemental is already submitted. Please please please send me an interview!Just received UF supplemental application!

I'm not doing that. It's optional and I don't think it will make much difference and I'm tired of the application process so I'm just going to skip it. Hopefully it will just expedite everything since it'll be one less form for them to look at.I'm excited too! Is there an essay for Part II of the supplemental? I'm finishing Part I.
Are you going to ask your dentist(s) to submit a Dental Observation form?
I doubt many people were given both at the same time. I think your stats are just so far off the charts that nothing you put on your supplemental could make them second guess giving you an interviewDid anyone else receive an interview at the same time as the supplementary?
Essay is basically anything about yourself

For the essay, do they basically want us to write about stuff not in our AADSAS app?
You should complete the dental observation form. Your competition will submit complete applications, you should too.
"Optional" is only for those who are willing to go the extra mile.
What if you already have a strong LOR submitted by a dentist and professor with whom you've done research with? I feel as if the optional forms would sound a bit redundant to the adcoms.
Please correct me though if I'm wrong.
I'm a bit concerned. I was in the first batch and have yet to receive a supplemental. I am a FL resident with 3.8 GPA and AA 20. Any advice?

I agree and am in the same boat as you. I already have LOR's from the dentist I shadowed and the professor I did research with. To ask them to fill out another form saying essentially the same thing seems redundant. The optional forms are only useful if either you didn't have your research professor write your letter originally or you did more than one research project with another professor or have more than one dentist that knows you well.
I have 120 hours of shadowing and over 100 volunteer hours. I did receive an email stating they had received my app on July 6 but nothing since then.
Oh jeez. Did they let you pick a day or just assign you a day to come? I have finals on the 9th and 10th. If I get an interview (fingers crossed) I'll just die if it's on either of those days.I was just invited for an interview. It is scheduled for August 7th. School isnt even over hahaha

Well congrats on the interview! What time did they send the email? Man you just made me so nervous. My application is definitely far from perfect so maybe they just didn't like what they saw. Tomorrow will be panic mode all day.
My AADSAS status changed for UF. I think it happened today, though it's dated 7/23 (the day I received AND submitted my supplemental).
Your application has been received and additional information has been requested from you via email. If you plan to retake the DAT exam, you must notify the Admissions Office immediately. Within a week of receiving your application, we will send an email to you letting you know it has arrived. If you have this status and have NOT received an email, please call the Admissions Office.
I assume it's just a very very very late update. Still no interview; crying tears of blood daily.
