1. If I didn't do any research, is it okay if I just leave that part completely blank. I always thought leaving things blank looks unprofessional, but I don't think I can put anything there anyways.

2. For the question "Do you intend to apply to the combined 7-year D.D.S.-Ph.D. program in Oral Biology for fall 2011 admission?": does anyone know if this affects your chances of acceptance?

3. For questions like "Have you ever applied to dental school prior to the present application cycle? If yes, include the name of schools to which you
applied and year(s) of application. Also indicate if you were accepted and/or enrolled.": If I haven't, do I need to write "No" in the box or just leave it blank? (I know this is a dumb question but I just want to make sure since there are no yes/no boxes like the other yes/no questions)

4. For the question "If you are not currently enrolled in school, what have you been doing since graduation?"
What if I am only enrolled as a part time student, should I still talk about what I've been doing other than classes?

1. I hated that research question. I haven't done any and I don't like leaving spots blank so I just wrote NA

2. You probably don't want to do that and correct me if I'm wrong but I think research is required to apply to that. It might say it in the research question. As far as your chances of getting accepted, it's probably not a good idea to just say you're applying for that to get an interview. Unless you really have researched that program and are interested just put no.

3. If writing "no" seems too informal, write a short sentence saying this is your first cycle.

4. If you haven't talked about that before, go ahead and say you are enrolled but have already graduated or whatever and say what you're doing on the side.
