I just received an invite to complete Iowa's supplemental application and schedule an interview. But, when I finally stopped jumping up and down long enough try logging into my account, I realized I couldn't. Is anyone able to? I know it's still early...
Iowa Interview Invite:) Anyone else having trouble logging in?

Thank you...I'm not an Iowa resident. I'm not comfortable posting my exact stats but I will tell you that my all of my GPA categories are above 3.75 and my DAT scores range from 19 to 21 in all sections.

Hey! I got the invite as well...I COULD log in and started filling out the supplemental, but I am having problems with it. It is typing in wrong dates and class names when I "save" the application. So...maybe it will be better soon???
Does this supplemental have any essays? I haven't received anything over here.

Good luck guys. I'm OOS and will be a D1 this fall at Iowa, so if you have any questions, feel free to PM me.
I was finally able to log in, and I'm having similar problems with the application. With some of the boxes if your response is too long, it doesn't save. For example, when I typed my zipcode in this format #####-#### (with the P.O. box number) instead of the five digit format, it wouldn't save. My current problem is with the coursework section. It saves everything except for the date that I completed my English requirement. It's so bizarre, and I've tried entering it multiple times on different computers. I'm planning on calling the admissions office tomorrow. Hopefully the kinks will be worked out soon because I'm excited to schedule my interview.
The only essay-like questions are optional. There is one for explaining any hardships that caused you to have a lower GPA, and one to describe any activities that better reflect your potential for success in dental school than GPA and DAT.

Yeah...sounds like my problem too. My English "completed" date is totally wrong and so is the number of credits under Gen Chem

Had you guys already paid your fee? I was in the first mailing but was waiting to pay since AADSAS said: Send these materials directly to the dental schools Only When an Admission Officer Contacts You:
Thanks for letting me know
- Application fee $60 (US citizens and permanent residents)

So...Iowa is kind of different...basically you will only pay the fee if they are going to interview you. You might get an email saying they want to interview you....then give you a link to a supplemental application, pay the fee, then reserve an interview spot. Hope this helps! Good luck!
I was finally able to complete the application, but I didn't change anything that I did. It just eventually worked. I did call the school when I was having trouble and they told me that IT was in the process of fixing various problems. It sounds like everyone is having issues, but each problem is slightly different. I would recommend calling admissions on Monday. I'm planning on calling again too, because even though I was able to schedule my interview, the site wouldn't let me pay the fee.
, there seems to be no rhyme or reason to this system....
