Hey SDN,

I just received an email from my alma matter detailing changes to the ADEA AADSAS application for this upcoming cycle. I thought I'd share it with the pre-dent community.

1) Applicants can match their courses to fulfill prerequisite course requirements for a particular school before submitting their application to a dental school.

2) Applicants can request transcripts from World Education Services (WES) and Educational Credential Evaluation (ECE) directly within the application, eliminating sending documents by mail.

3) Applicants reapplying to 2018 ADEA AADSAS will not be able to carry over their information from a previous cycle. However, moving forward, reapplicants will be able to carry their information from the previous cycle.

"The Associated American Dental Schools Application Service (ADEA AADSAS®) will transition to the 3.X application platform for the 2018 application cycle. The ADEA AADSAS application opens on Thursday, June 1st, and complete instructions will be available on the ADEA GoDental website in late March 2017.

The new application features an enhanced user experience and interface, improved application flow, updated coursework entry functionality, interactive messaging, and dental school customization options. ADEA AADSAS applicants will benefit from this new, streamlined process, and have access to each school’s listings and requirements, individually customized through the platform."
 
As far as letters of recommendation go, what is the best time frame to ask for them to be done if the new system opens on the 1st? I have to ask for two of mine to be redone because we are losing everything. Also having to pay again for the coursework to be uploaded is a pain. I never applied last cycle just started my application for this upcoming one andddddddd its gone.
