So, here is the official word from AADSAS about May 1:

Dental schools participating in AADSAS will report to AADSAS by May 1, the names and identification numbers of candidates who have paid a deposit and/or hold a position in their entering class. After May 5, AADSAS will report to each institution the names of candidates in their entering class who are holding acceptance(s) at additional institutions. Dental schools will have the option of rescinding an offer of admission to candidates who have paid deposits and are holding positions at multiple institutions. Dental schools with candidates holding multiple positions on May 1of the year of admission will give such candidates a minimum 15-day notice if they choose to withdraw them from the entering class.

So, for those of us who are waitlisted or on an alternate list, May could be a very good month.

do many schools distinguish between alternate lists and waiting lists?

Hi. Did you read this from the AADSAS? And, would anyone know if all schools participate in this?

Yeah, that came from the AADSAS website. I would assume that all the schools that use addsas would participate in it.


But, I do wonder how schools like VCU use it because the second deposit is due on May 1st also...so, if a student doesn't send in that second deposit are they scratched from the list as of May 2? And if they are listed at multiple schools how long does VCU give them to pick? I know no one knows the answers to these so its really just hypothetical...

i just hope i get in.

i think nova has those 2 different types of lists. my friend called a few months ago and was told that he was on the list that "was better". one is for people that are "accepted" but are waiting for a spot to open up and the other list is basically a second waiting list.

 

[night007]

I am unfortunately the one who is on the "better list" which means nothing to me as of right now...since I am still not technically accepted. So hopefully may will be a good month for me. I heard for Nova the second payment is due april 15th, but I'm not positive about that.

Anyone know when the the second deposits are due for Louisville or Maryland?
