Does each school have a seperate personal statement required...how do I find out where the prompt is for me to write about? I tried going to the app service site, couldn't find it...any ideas or help on this? 😴

there is one personal statement that everyone writes for their aadsas application (unless you are applying to schools that only do in-house applications). the prompt is basically, 'tell us about yourself and why you desire to pursue dentistry'. sometimes schools will then have a secondary application with essays on it, which vary between schools but are usually something like 'why are you interested in our school'. to see the actual directions for the essay, go to http://aadsas.adea.org/ , click on instructions, and go forward until you get to the page about personal statement.

You write one personal statement for your AADSAS application and it is sent out to all of the schools. Some schools have additional essays on their secondary applications and in those cases they will supply you with a topic or a question for you to answer.
