On the PDF for each school for your application, what does the number represent to the left of the school name? Does this represent the school number designated by the ADA, or maybe the application number sent to the school?
 
Hm, weird. I wondered this too. Maybe it's just the code that AADSAS uses to ID each school in place of the name? I don't think it's alphabetical ordering though because CASE for instance is listed as 36.

Not sure. I noticed that it wasn't alphabetical either and not likely when the school was founded because older schools aren't below younger ones out of the ones I applied to. Hmm
 
Is it alphabetical by state the dental school is in? Just a guess, because Marquette always showed up at the end of aadsas lists and I assumed it was because it was alphabetical by state.

Click "Dental School Designations" then under Application PDF on the right, click any of the symbols.

That's my point, there is nothing there to click. There isn't anything that says Application PDF anywhere after I click dental school designations. There is a column on the left and a print button on the bottom, logout button on top.

"Dental School Designations" under Application Checklist, not under "My Application Status"?

you need to go to the main menu, not the status column.
 
The numbers on pdf upper left side next to the school name indicates the order that the schools were posted on the page where we selected each school from when we made our selections s. Its totally unimportant to the application process, I think it means nothing.
