I put one of my minors with my major (the one I petitioned for first), and then I put the second one/newer one under "Experiences" as "Academic Enrichment", and then described it a little in its description box.
It slows down the process cause they will tell you it is a mistake and you will have to fix it or something.
There's no consequence besides them requiring you to fix it and your application being delayed, as @tiper15 said. That's why it's so important for applicants to really take their time when inputting their courses.
You should put it only once, and describe when you got it in the description box.
The way I did it was to make the number of hours work. So if you have 4 weeks at 4 hours and 4 weeks at 6 hours. I would then make it 8 weeks at 5 hours each..... If that makes sense.
I put it as "Orientation".
For the pass/fail question just put down whatever is on your transcript. If you don't they will say that you did it wrong. If the test shows up on your transcript add the course in like normal and put 0 credits and then follow what the aadsas says.
I have read elsewhere that the AADSAS says to put certs (like CPR, etc) under achievements. Certifications I think are specifically for things like dental assisting, nursing, etc
You can pay early but your app cannot be submitted until the 5th of June
The AADSAS is pretty specific about the fact that all of the materials you include have to have been completed or in progress at the time of submission. You cannot include future plans. It might be something that you include in the description that you are going back but I don't think you can include the hours.
I've just been putting best estimates as some of the experiences are 5 years old.
Thanks
But there is another option to choose here which is other. Can’t we choose that one for CPR certification?
I dont think they will get angry, and I personally didnt ask. But since it is labeled licenses not certifications I think that is what they are going for. On another thread I read that someone called and asked and they didnt consider certifications licenses.
I asked about this and they told me that it is mainly for if a school wants to contact the person. They told me extra information (dmd, phd...) is isn't bad to include but mainly it is so they know how to address the individual.
Awesome, thanks!
Whatever it says on your transcript for a "grade". If it doesn't accept that, then I would call or email the AADSAS and ask what you should put. It might delay your app if they don't like and tell you to fix it.
A friend of mine is putting them as freshman courses since that was technically his status at the time he took them.
Sorry I think I misunderstood. I would think that CR would be the appropriate grade (especially if the test is one of those listed under other test credits), but I am not 100% sure. It might be best to call them and check.
I put deans list under achievements. I’m not too sure about research but I would just put the subject as whatever department it has listed on your transcript!
I put mine under dental experiences though I think you could throw it under academic enrichment as well.
Depends on who puts it on. Midwestern's for instance is an ASDA event so admissions would not necessarily know you attended. Plus no other school would know that you did it.
would it look like you have a preference for the school who put on the event? and would it come off as a resume filler in any way?
I don't think it shows any preference, as most people go to one that is near by. For most students it's a chance to get more exposure to the dental field and to dental school life. I think that is how most schools would view it. I don't think it will make or break your app by any means but I think it can provide more evidence that you are interested in the dental field.
Yes
Yes. All the coursework has to be listed
