Have your course history, shadowing/volunteering/extracurriculars, work history, personal statement, list of schools you're applying to, DAT scores (unless you haven't taken it yet)...and once it opens submit your LOR writers' info and they will get an email from AADSAS about how to submit electronically (if they are mailing it in, print the LOR matching form, bring it to them, and make them mail it to AADSAS with that included). Also print the transcript matching form when it opens and take that to your registrar.

By course history, you simply mean the courses that we took in college correct? (without the course description of each and every class)

What about the personal statement? How many words? Is it ANY topic that introduces myself?

4500 characters. From what I've heard, the prompt has been "Why do you want to be a dentist?".

Can we submit application without LORs?

Can anyone confirm this?

I heard it's "Why Dentistry?" which is pretty much the same thing. 4500 characters including spaces, commas, colons, periods, and apostrophes right?

That's what I was thinking of.

For course/academic history, order official transcript(s) from all the colleges that you attended because you need to enter correct/accurate course title according to your transcript and not what you know from your course catalog...

For example, I thought my Chem 1 series is entitled as Introduction to General Chemistry. But on the actual transcript, Chem 1A stated as Intro to Gen Chemistry and Chem 1B stated Introduction to Gen Chem. Although they meant the same thing, but AADSAS wants it the exact title on your transcript.

So order your transcript now will facilitate the process.

Yes, just the name/number and grade you received in all your classes...the names/abbreviations have to be exactly the same as what your transcript says, so I would go off of that.

Yes

Yes, 4500 characters includes everything (letters, spaces, punctuation)

[SIZE=-1]From the AADSAS site,
"Your Personal Statement should address why you desire to pursue a dental education and how a dental degree contributes to your personal and professional goals[/SIZE]."

I would laugh if someone prepared a personal statement ahead of time only to find out that the prompt is different this cycle.

But given that you have that finished, the only part of the application that takes forever is your coursework. You have to type out each class that you've ever taken manually, and it's really tedious. You can easily finish it within the same day of course, so then all you need to wait for are the transcripts and LoR's.

I keep hearing different "topics" for the personal statement. Can someone just find it and link it to us?

And if I submit with no LOR, I can add them later....right?? 😕
