i was going to make aadsas account right now

but cannot find 2013 cycle one yet

i should wait until june 1st and start making account and everything?

i made a dentpin couple weeks ago to sign up for DAT (which i havent signed up yet)

and dentpin and aadsas account are separate things right?

That's correct. The DentPin is for your DAT, while the AADSAS is for your application.

The AADSAS will allow registration for the 2013 entering class on June 1st, 2012.

The most time consuming portion of your AADSAS application would be your personal statement, so you want to get it finished before June 1st. It's open ended and can be about anything, but there is a 4500 character limit.

Have your reference letters ready by June 1st, so on that day, you can your writers the link so they can upload it to the AADSAS.

If you have a GPA under 3.5, it greatly increases your chances of getting admissions if you applied early.

On the aadsas website (https://portal.aadsasweb.org/http://www.portal.aad), it states the following:

Please be advised that the 2012 ADEA AADSAS application cycle closed on February 15, 2012.
The deadline for applicants to submit Letters of Evaluation and transcripts was February 15, 2012.

The 2013 ADEA AADSAS application will launch on June 4, 2012. The first day to create and submit an application for the 2013 ADEA AADSAS application cycle will be June 4, 2012.
Please do not submit any materials to ADEA AADSAS prior to June 4, 2012.

I would suggest that you follow the advice given on their link: http://www.adea.org/DENTAL_EDUCATION_PATHWAYS/AADSAS/APPLICANTS/Pages/default.aspx in preparation for the upcoming application cycle.

Good luck!
