Hi,

Can someone please just outline an overview for dental school applications. Like what I do with ada and what I have to send out on my own and stuff. I have no idea really where to start. Also, if there is a website with this information can someone please post it here. I am applying this cycle and I would really appreciate the help! Also is there a good website of the top dental schools?
Thank you!

You know, the best way to get the most info, lots of questions answered, and a good base to start would be to sit down with someone. Buy a fella lunch or something. You can read a ton online too. I usually enjoy writing out massive details for people, but I'm feeling lazy.

go to the pre-health advising office at your school!

You want to apply to dental school and you're not even willing to use google.

Basically you fill out all of your basic info, ECs, and personal statement to AADSAS which gets sent to every school. You have to get a transcript mailed from your school to AADSAS. You have to get your letters sent to AADSAS which forwards them to the schools. You take the DAT which gets sent automatically.

Then, you wait to hear from schools, pay their application fee and do a supplemental application if necessary and wait to see if they interview you. If they do, you go to the interview and do your best.
