Thank you for taking the time to read my post. My question is this:
I am currently in my junior year of college. After I have taken my Organic Chemistry final tommorrow, I will have completed all of my required courses. Being that my grades are good, but do have a few blemishes (2 C- in Pathophysiology/Pharmacology taken my sophomore year and 3 Ws
) I would like to apply as early as possible, as to increase my chances of being admitted.
When should I submit my application to AADSAS? Take into consideration that I am going to ask 3 of my professors for positive letters of recommendation on Monday (5/16), have yet to write write a personal statement (but have brainstormed), and have not taken or registered for the DAT. I would like to have my AADSAS application processed as early as possible, while still having a good amount of time this summer to study and do very well on the DAT.
I heard somewhere that one can process their AADSAS application as long as they have submitted their official transcript (processing does not require having your letters of recommendation or DAT scores in). One can then study intensely for the DAT and allot several weeks for their professors to write their letters of recommendation while AADSAS is processing their application. Then as soon as, or before, the application is processed one can submit their LOR and DAT scores and thus their application will arrive at the dental schools they are applying the same time (in comparison to if they had already had their DAT scores and LOR submitted to AADSAS at the time they filled out the original AADSAS application).
Anyone care to make an inexperienced and highly impressionable dental-newbie a timeline. Also, would any current dental students be willing to critique my personal statement? Does anyone have any quick tips as to how to best study for the DAT, as far as daily independent-studying regimen and/or materials to use?
Best wishes to everyone in all of their endeavors...
GOD BLESS SDN. 🙂
