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?

I got this too. Does anyone know - for "other addresses" do we also put short term residencies like dorm addresses??
 
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
 
I called the help number and was told that if it doesn't specify how long you should go back - "use your own discretion" :eyebrow:

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?

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

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

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.).

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

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.
 
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."

Are we talking about STDs or criminal records here? 😉

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