Hey, I'm a post-bac/2nd degree student, technically a bio major now, but I won't finish the degree by the time I'm (hopefully) accepted to a dental school. I was never planning on it either- just to finish the pre-dental pre-requisites. What date do I use on the AADSAS application as to when I'll "finish" the degree?

Anyone have the same situation?

FYI They don't allow you to choose a year after 2016 (entry yr to dental school), which I was going to do to make it blatantly clear I wouldn't finish it...

As of now, I have it as May 2016, the last semester I'll take in undergrad.

In the list of majors they have 'post-bac study' which is what I chose. I'm also technically a bio major as a 2nd degree but not finishing. Just put the last semester you'll be taking courses as a post-bac (May 2016)

Thanks! I definitely did not look there for that!

It doesn't have anywhere to select "Biology" as the major if you do that .... I guess it really doesn't matter though, if you won't finish anyhow?

Also, anywhere to put in minors? I'll be finishing up my chem minor in the Fall...

Yeah I think if you're not completing the degree and have only been taking dental school pre-reqs, the 'post-bac study' option is the best fit...minor I'm not sure about but I'm sure someone else will know
