You should consider doing a post-bacc leading to an MS to boost up that GPA and retake the DAT. :banana:

Your GPA verified already? That's surprising.. Only curious because our transcript received dates are similar.

Mine was verified too and several schools emailed me my app was completed and ready to be reviewed by ADCOMs.

I find this hard to believe. I am a reapplicant and they have all my stuff verified from the previous cycle--yet my GPA isn't verified yet or mailed yet.
 
I guess if that's all true then good for you. You'd think there'd be fairness across the board as far as timing goes.. Not worried about it though, best of luck!

General comment for anyone worried about not being verified yet, LORs not being in, or whatever else about timelines:
I looked back on my application from last year and realized I didn't have my LORs in until the beginning of August, meaning my application had been incomplete and not looked at by adcoms for the entirety of June and July. I still got many pre-December interviews. IT IS WAY TOO EARLY TO FREAK OUT. please be calm. There will be much better times to stress out later in the cycle, I promise.

People shouldn't freak out, but to kind of say you're still good to apply in August may be doing some a disservice. Maybe I'm an outlier but mine was in August and I did not get any pre-Dec interviews.

Love the Jon Snow avatar btw..

No no I meant my application was finally complete by August. Not that I submitted in August. Sorry for any misunderstanding!
And thanks 🙂
 
Should you submit secondaries before you primary is complete, or wait until the primary is sent?
 
Did your GPA get verified by any chance? I havent received a supplemental from UMD yet.
UMD only sends a supplemental to select applicants. Not all people who add it to their AADSAS list will receive one.
 
Did anyone contact AADSAS and was told that they no longer do batches? There is no more mailing out and all the schools have access to your file electronically once you hit submit. They can choose whether or not to review it before or after they do their verification. I'm still waiting for my verification.

If that's the case that is great
 
Welp clicked that submit button today, good luck to all!

Anyone else conform this? AADSAS didn't tell me that.
 
If the dentist you shadowed attended a university you're applying to, would it beneficial to mention that in the LOR? Or would that just be useless?

Pretty useless. Just tell your interviewer that information if you get an interview.

IMO, if you only apply to that 1 school then yeah, go ahead. But most of us submit the dentist's letter to AADSAS for more than 1 school, so don't bother mention the school's name

Oh man, GPA verified but haven't received a supplemental yet 🙁 too early to worry?

AADSAS hasn't even sent the first batch yet... Is this really an indication of how stressed people are going to be this cycle lol?

No such thing as batches anymore.
 
It seems like AADSAS is sending out your information to schools as soon as you submit it. Mine says it hasn't been mailed out yet but I have been contacted by a couple schools already. Sadly no supplementals or interviews, mostly just confirming that they have everything needed.

Yes, definitely way too early to worry. I didn't receive a supplemental until August from UMD with an application complete in July and didn't receive an interview invitation until much later once I was happily committed to a school. I would definitely not stress - the process may be unpredictable at times but it definitely is very early in the game that very little of this matters yet. Best of luck!

When it's your 3rd time applying, I think stressing out this early in the cycle is a little warranted. Clearly I need to stop checking SDN for a month or two to keep the anxiety at bay.
