I was wondering if anyone knew where I could read dental school secondaries if that even exists... I was told it did.

Also, while i realize we aren't lawyers, I was wondering if the AADSAS only asks whether you have had any felony convictions. I was also told that each school usually asks if you have had any misdemeanor convictions. Some even specify to only report non-traffic related misdemeanors. I had a traffic-related misdemeanor that was dismissed years ago when I had turned 18. It was not expunged but it seems people are saying that if it was dismissed you don't have to report it.

Also, does any of the secondaries ask if you have any convictions pending? I know this sounds crazy but I have a negligent driving misdemeanor pending (for 3 years, no charge will show) for driving too fast in neighborhood (was testing out a buddies new truck; stupid i know). Edit: I should probably add that the cop thought I was trying to get away from him (the supposed chase existed for 5 seconds until I saw his lights after going down a hill haha :/)

lol don't know about that but isn't negligent driving a traffic related misdemeanor? Even if you are convicted, I don't think its that big of a deal compared to other things like academic dishonesty, marajjuwanna, weapon possession, drug trafficking, assault, rape, extortion, insurance fraud, ponzi scheme, or murder.

As for secondaries, I think barely any dental schools even have secondaries. I think upenn has a few essay questions of their own on top of the aadsas stuff, and NYU has some essays for people who end up on their waitlist.
 
Would you mind elaborating on this? I'm on the waitlist at NYU and have not heard of this.

o I guess it wasn't for the waitlisters then. There was a thread about NYU sending essay questions that dealt with your interest in the school. I thought it was for waitlisters but could have been for interview spots. Hilarious video btw rofl classic
