First : For me, I did it before all CAPPID procedure will be finished. I am still working on writing personal statement and waiting LORs. I think it should be OK to submit the online application first.

Second : I encountered the same problem before. I think you might make an account before IDDP Dentistry was put on the list of the Application Type like I did. Try to apply for "New" on Application menu, and you will be able to see the "IDDP Dentistry" on the Application type menu.

Third : Also for me, I already sent my supplemental documents because I think there is no harm in submitting them earlier, and I couldn't find no specific instruction regarding the order of sending them.

These all are my case. Any comment?
 
attach the lor matching form to each sealed lor's envelope via a staple. put all 3 lors in one bigger envelope and post to caapid.
i've got lor but i think i cant send them to caapid because as i understood from the instructions , the evaluator should either send the LOR directly to caapid or electronically .correct me if i am wrong . it will be much easier if i could send it to caapid ,a little bit confused about this point , a little advice please
 
HI,
I think you can send them if they are in closed envelopes.I did it this way,provided you should ask your evaluators to enclosed the matching form
 
hey is it ok to send notarized copies of ece to caapid? i sent out notarized ones. or is it a ust to send original sealed one?

if you have the LORS sealed, you can send them by yourselves stapled with lor matching form with corrresponding letter..
 
How long does ADA take to send official score report to the the universities ? do they really take 3 weeks as its mentioned in the NBDE 1 guide ??? how about mailing time is it included in that period ???

what if i receive my NBDE 1 result by mid August, would I be able to send my application a program which deadline is Sep 1st ???

is it possible to ask for score reports to be sent to the programs at the same time they send one to me ???
 
i sent both my lors n transcript but only lors status is complete...
ne inputs welcome..
 
i sent both my lors n transcript but only lors status is complete...
ne inputs welcome..

since both go to different departments it takes a couple of days to update the status of either on of them...you can still call them and verify
 
i sent both my lors n transcript but only lors status is complete...
ne inputs welcome..
They updated my transcript after 12 days but LOR only after 3-4 days.Same happened last year too. So I guess their Transcript processing dept. is really slow.
NO NEED TO CALL THEM IT HAPPENS WITH ALL.
 
My LOR are 2 years old.. Is the ok or I need new one...:scared:
 
1)what exactly is this lor matching form and transcript matching form??
2)where do i find this on the caapid application??
3)if im sending 3 lors, then 3 different lor matching forms are required, fine
but what about transcript matching form, how do i send this?? along with what??
4)sending an ece-eval report wont suffice as we have to send trancripts also,is it???

thankyou so much for your wise replies 🙂

I have the same doubts too, can some one please explain thanks
 
1)what exactly is this lor matching form and transcript matching form??
When you fillup CAAPID app. details given by you will be recorded in the form of Barcode so when you print out these forms and attach with each documents that barcode on the forms helps CAAPID to attach LORs and ECE report in correct location.

2)where do i find this on the caapid application??
For transcript matching form look under 'academic history' and for LOR matching form look under 'letters of evaluation'.

3)if im sending 3 lors, then 3 different lor matching forms are required, fine
but what about transcript matching form, how do i send this?? along with what??
Along with your ECE report.

4)sending an ece-eval report wont suffice as we have to send trancripts also,is it???
We don't need to send our Transcript. CAAPID is confusing here. When they say EVALUATED transcript you have to understand that they are asking for ECE report.
thankyou so much for your wise replies 🙂

Thank you
 
I HAVE THE SAME QUESTION AS HYDDDS.Where do I mention about the CE courses in caapid?IN Externships or Other work experiences.

Please help
 
I found the answer for my previous question.
On CAAPID application under professional experience click on "other relevant information",under that you will be able to write about all your CE credits.600 characters limited.

Thank You
 
Hi everyone,
1)Do we need to mention the names of all CE courses, we attended or can someone shed some light on how to organise this part/ how to mention?
2) With LORS, caapid said that we either need to send original or notarised copies? In this case, is it okay that we can fill ourselves the matching forms and then attach it to each LOR separately and send them? LAST YEAR, I JUST SEND PHOTOCOPIES OF LORS, EVEN WITHOUT NOTARISATION, ONLY WITH MATCHING FORMS AND MY APPLICATION WAS COMPLETE. So, is it mandatory to get them notarised?
3)Also, can I send my documents( LOR and transcript), before submitting online caapid application?
Thanks a zillion

I feel you should apply caapid first so that you will get a ccapid id,then send the lors and ece with caapid id written on it.

Thanks partial denture, but I have started with my caapid application, and have an ID now, but its just that I have not submitted it yet. In this case, van I send my LORS and other docs with ID?
Thanks
 
first e submit the caapid application and then send lors and ece.i did it this way
 
I want to apply to ucsf and usc.is it compulsory to send original sealed transcripts from the schools where i studied even if i have sent ece report. and usc wants proof of licence to practice program .What is that?and in bench test do we need to carry our own instruments. Plz help .I am coooooonfuuuused
 
hey! did anyone get a confirmation of receipt of documents email from BU?
Do all schools send out emails of confirmation of receipt? has anyone heard from ucsf or upenn?
 
Can anyone tell that do we need to send transcripts also or just ECE?
 
BU will send confirmation of receipt of all materials via email only. Infact, all their communications will be exclusively through Email.

U penn will send out confirmation via letter in post mail. They will also tick mark certain pending documents if they haven't recvd them ( most of the time it will be NBDE official score, TOEfl sore etc.)

I don't have any idea about UCSF.

In all cases, allow some time after you submit your CAAPID application. After CAAPID dispatches your application to the respective colleges, it then enters the school's individual application cycle.

As soon as your begin your CAAPID online application, you will be issued a unique CAAPID ID.

Use this ID for all future communication purposes. For safety, write your name, DENTPIN, and CAAPID Id on all documents you use for aplication purposes to CAAPID and the schools. In this way you make their work easier, and hence improve your chances of keeping your application updated.

I feel you should apply caapid first so that you will get a ccapid id,then send the lors and ece with caapid id written on it.
 
Hi everyone,
1)Do we need to mention the names of all CE courses, we attended or can someone shed some light on how to organise this part/ how to mention?
Mention whatever you have done. It never harms to show them yor interest. Classify them according to their sub headings on the application. The extra stuff goes into the 'Other Relevant Work.'

2) With LORS, caapid said that we either need to send original or notarised copies? In this case, is it okay that we can fill ourselves the matching forms and then attach it to each LOR separately and send them? LAST YEAR, I JUST SEND PHOTOCOPIES OF LORS, EVEN WITHOUT NOTARISATION, ONLY WITH MATCHING FORMS AND MY APPLICATION WAS COMPLETE. So, is it mandatory to get them notarised?
IF it was okay last year, then it should be okay this year too. Just to be on a safer side, if you are taking the pains to submit a new application, why not get them notarized and speed up your process.

3)Also, can I send my documents( LOR and transcript), before submitting online caapid application?
Yes, you can send them before submitting the online application. My 2 cents- First submit the online application and then send the documents. The sequence just seems right, logically.

Hey mates!! i wanted to ask whether its possible to make ece agency send ece directly to caapid agency ??? i mean can i put in caapid's address there on "additional address" on the ece website so that caapid directly recieves a copy of it?? coz i am really short of time right now.. and if this is possible i might save few days.... the problem i think in this procedure is , if i make them do directly then how would i send the transcript form... can anyone shed some light on it.. that too quickly if possible...

Yes, you can order ECE to send your evaluation to CAAPID directly.
Have you already send your other supplemental documents to the school already? If not, then I would advise you to call the ECE report at your home and put everything in one packet and then probably send it in 'Express/overnight" delivery if you are running out of time. (Because it will take the same time for the evaluation report to reach any address in US and to CAAPID).All the respective matching forms need to be attached with a pin to the originals externally. e.g. if you have a LOR that is sealed then just attach the matching form to its envelope form the outside.
 
Thanks for the info mate!!! but Actually i am in india right now..and the permanent address i am giving is of india... so if i order ece first at home..its gonna take 15 -30 days for me to recieve it..and then if i send it back..its gona take few extra days... what you are saying that i should let it come at home..and then mail the whole packet along with everything via overnight courier??? did i interpret right?? 🙂 am confused..

Yes, if you are outside the US it will usually take a long time for you to recv the ECE reports at home. You interpreted my statement of sending everything together rightly. If you are willing to shell out some extra bucks, then ECE has an option of speeding up your application for a certain amount. If you are really eyeing a school deadline, then just send them what you have and order ECE to send a copy directly to CAAPID.

I can not generalize- but usually schools would be a little lenient about them not receiving one document by the deadline rather than not recing anything. Some schools will be extremely strict in this aspect. Good lluck for your application !
 
I spoke to CAPID today in reference to ECE evaluation and was pretty surprized to hear that they dont accept ECE older than a year 🙁( Does that mean, we have to go through the expensive evaluation process each year ?? what is gonna change with your degree in a year anyways ??? just sooo much commercialiazation !!

Hey Ece score report does not expire for abt 10 years I guess.it probably should be a recent copy request but u don't have to redo it.I sent an official copy of the report done earlier and my status was updated.
 
👍 thanks 🙂

lol, well you will be surprized if you call again and got a different response😀

ECE report doesn't have expiration date, unless they change the evaluation process so that would change your score.👍
 
Guyz will caapid send paper lors electronically to various programs is it?do shed some light on this plzzz.thanks in advance.

I asked them by E-mail but haven't got any reply! You can see under application status ''Mailing date'' of your CAAPID application. Even after that mailing date it wasn't received by Lomalinda so I guess after scanning and printout they are sending it by postal mail!! If any one knows pls reply. I got to know they process our application on every Thursday.
