have you received the email to pay the $90?
Is it okay if we pay the $90 before our gpa is verified? I e-submitted then paid the next day. I got an email confirmation for the payment but otherwise I haven't heard anything else back yet.
That's what I did, so just sit tight 🙂

Yes, I'm sure you're fine. I have a hard time believing they would deny anyone before they received the $90. I feel like they see everyone's name and once everything gets verified you become next in line for review. Once your gpa gets verified you'll hold the next spot in line for review
I imagine that your avatar is you at this moment. Just relax and wait for time to pass.
lmao yes.
Yeah i paid the supplemental 4 weeks ago
Just received my supplemental application.
When did your GPA verify and when did your app mail?
Verified 6/22, and submitted same day. Not sure when it was mailed
no
Same, except my app was processed on the 10th... of June. I'm out of state but apparently that doesn't make a difference? No idea, honestly.
Been 8 business days (received the "in review" email on June 27) and still no supplemental. 🙁

It's early July so they probably are backlogged in the applications since so many are coming in at once. Just be patient guys. You'll get there!

Exactly same here.
Same 🙁
Same :/
Do you happened to know what questions they asked on the supplemental?
Yeah if someone could share the essay questions that would be awesome! Haven't got the supplemental but I'm *pretty* confident I'll be getting one, and I'd love to at least start planning my answers now
The supplemental questions were pretty basic I think. Just demographic info and the classic "why our school?" I think. If you haven't gotten one yet, chillax. You could get one any day.
Not really unfortunately. There are 7 essay questions total. Two could be considered optional if you didn't do a gap year and/or had no academic difficulties. Two of them are 1000 character limited. Definitely my longest supplemental I've done yet.

Try A.T Stills :/
😱 I must be mixing it up with someone else's supplemental. Good luck!
Does "gap year" apply anyone who isn't coming straight from undergrad to dental? I'm a "career changer," I've been out of college for a few yeas so it's not what I think of as a gap year but obviously there's a gap, lol. Thanks for the help guys, Maryland is my top choice so I'm just tryna be extra prepared 🙂
Yes.
One more question! For the part on the supplemental where they ask you to explain any "academic difficulties" you have had, is it onto put N/A if I haven't really had any? Or should I think of a class that was challenging and talk about that even if it t a good grade?

Received supplemental today / I have heard a supplemental here implies an interviews - is that true?
I just got the supp. after getting "app received" email on June 27th.
I have the same question as this. Anybody?
Also received the supplemental today. Good luck everyone! Definitely my top choice

@Scumbag_Steve ?
Not true.
Source: previous years' threads
Did not apply to Maryland, cannot confirm.
No just put N/A. I would take that question to mean something like a learning disability.
Generally, but maybe not 100%. Definitely a good sign, though
Minor point-why not just leave it blank (instead of writing N/A)?
Edit: sorry just noticed they say in small letters on the bottom to "use N/A for any question that does not apply to your situation" so that solves that.
Stats for people who recently received supplementals?
DAT: 21AA, 20TS, 23PAT
oGPA 3.78; sGPA 3.94; BCP 4.00
Also, I'm a Maryland resident.
How long is everyone making their answers to the essay questions? Two of them have limits of 1000 characters so does that imply that the others should be even longer? Or should I just go with what seems to make most sense-writing a paragraph or two for each one? I can't imagine the ADCOMs want to sit there reading a 2000 character answer to every question. Any thoughts on what's expected?
Answers as short as possible. Especially for straightforward questions

Received supplemental today. "Application received" email on 6/27. For those of you that haven't gotten it yet, there's still plenty of time!
are you a Maryland resident?
Nope, OOS
I paid the fee about 4 weeks ago and received the under review right away. No supplemental questions yet.
