Conditional Acceptance Background check certiphi email

Members don't see this ad.

I just got an email from "certiphi" asking to give my consent for dental schools to run a background check on me; is this legitimate, or will schools contact me directly?

It's legit. I think about 30 of the dental schools run background checks using this service.

Thank you. I figured that if this was a scam, it would have to be a preeeeety specific one

 

[Ashish]

I got one too. My acceptance letter said I would be contacted by them. Its legit.

 

[Dr5paceman]

I got this too. Does anyone know - for "other addresses" do we also put short term residencies like dorm addresses??

 

[Dr5paceman]

And how far back are we supposed to go? is there an alternative link for additional info?? there's not enough directions on this thing

 

[Dr5paceman]

I called the help number and was told that if it doesn't specify how long you should go back - "use your own discretion"

I'm just going to go back 10 years because that's how much I've gone back for previous checks

Are you going to list your University address if you lived in the dorm?

 

[Dr5paceman]

Are you going to list your University address if you lived in the dorm?

yeah i'm listing the dorm addresses just in case

edit: sorry missed part of your message

I'm going to list the exact mailing address I had in the dorms, not just the University address

 

[pete6277]

So does this apply to all dental schools? Stony brook in particular?

 

[TrueMenace]

What if you don't remember all your dorm addresses?

 

[Likkriue]

Aadsas is down and I have no idea what I put for my city of birth.

 

[mroerdh22]

It's legit. Slightly hurt my heart considering I was done paying for things after my matriculation payment. 🤣

 

[DrLTD]

Wait... so we pay for this background check and not the school? I'm just asking for clarification.

 

[Likkriue]

Yeah we pay for it.

 

[rdub]

Another unexpected payment to drop in the bucket. My wallet is struggling.

 

[BK165]

Does anyone know why it's $100 more if you're NYS resident?

 

[Charles_Darwin]

this is a common problem

 

[makoons]

How much is the payment btw? I haven't gotten the email yet.

It's a maximum of 150. Mine was actually only 45.

 

[Likkriue]

Prob more if you were a Vet/had criminal history. They have to dig deeper for those.

Yeah that's my main email. Still nothing. I also haven't received my acceptance letter in the mail, should I be concerned?

Thank you! That is a really helpful document!

I just paid for the service without realizing that my school doesn't participate. I forgot I was accepted to more than one school. I wonder if I can get a refund since they didn't actually process it yet. So make sure you guys check if the school you intend on attending actually requires this.

 

[raijosh]

Do schools send the background check when you pay the deposit?

 

[DMDDDSHopeful]

Do schools send the background check when you pay the deposit?

No. They are not linked in a manner in which one triggers the other.

 

[Ashish]

The email does not say when it has to get done by? Anyone?

 

[DMDDDSHopeful]

There's no due date. You have a due date for the deposit. Your acceptance is based on not having a criminal background or a background in which would disqualify you from licensure (e.g. Child endangerment, sexual offender, etc.).

 

[goldcrown17]

Never mind...

 

[DMDDDSHopeful]

What's the deadline for this background check?

Jw, does Michigan require it? I haven't gotten anything.

 

[LVKE]

Buddy called yesterday, AADSAS can't control which schools send and when, so some schools have sent this through aadsas and others have not (yet). I called my school I'll be attending and there's no deadline so don't worry, it's just something you need to get done "sooner the better" but obviously if they've not sent it yet then it's not an issue.

Michigan doesnt require it.

 

[Ashish]

I called and my school said complete it anytime before orientation.

for Certiphi? do you mind me asking what state you are in?

 

[htdt]

Buffalo said in the email that accepted students "must initiate their background check no later than the deadline date to accept their offer of admission."

[Likkriue]

Completed and I'm clean.

 

[1070752]

Completed and I'm clean.

Are we talking about STDs or criminal records here? 😉

lol trying to burnnnn me

 

[Ashish]

Congratulations on you acceptance. How long did it take to complete and did they charge the full $150.00?

 

[Likkriue]

Congratulations on you acceptance. How long did it take to complete and did they charge the full $150.00?

They charged 104$ for me cause I'm in NYS and took two days. It's very quick provided you are as clean as me.

Thought they charged more than $150 for NY?

 

[Likkriue]

They charge up to 250$ for NYS but every other region is up to 150$. This means if I had more stuff to look at it could e been above 150$

Weird that everyone pays a different amount for the same background check.

 

[Likkriue]

Weird that everyone pays a different amount for the same background check.

Probably costs more if you were a veteran cause they will have to look through military history as well. They didn't do that for me.

 

[eldmd_32]

Just paid 150 😕. There goes the money for that bass I'd been wanting to get 😡
