AADSAS is slow to update. As long as you got that email, you're good. It just depends on how fast schools like to update AADSAS, which isn't very fast-- they prefer emails, or their own portal if they have one (like LLU, MWU AZ, ASDOH, WestU, etc). So, as long as you got an email, you're fine.
You can submit now and once the letter is added it will immediately get sent to schools. You can only apply to a few schools and I would if you are going to wait on some because then they will start verifying your transcripts.
Personally, I'd go with committee and science professor. There's a reason most schools request letters from sci profs. Unless you know your dentist super well and they can speak to a great number of your qualities, a science professor will be the better choice. If a school requires all three, they won't process your application until all are received. Have the additional letter sent directly to the dental schools that require it. Schools understand that you sometimes can't upload all of the required letters to AADSAS, and as far as I know, you are always able to send necessary letters directly to the school. Most schools mention this on their websites, but you can always email any schools to get their recommendation. Again, if you don't meet the requirement for letters, they will just wait until they receive them all. They won't throw it away! If you're really concerned, you can always let the school know your plans, too.
The courses should always go under the school you took them at. Put them under that school and submit your transcript from the original school. Do not list them under the school they were transferred to.

Yup for secondaries! They know that you submitted, but they just don't have your application in front of them until it's been verified. Some schools will start sending you links to pay their supplement fees, or to start filling out their secondary app. You won't get interview invites until your application is complete, which means they have your primary app, secondary app (if that school has one), and the supplemental fee paid.
I did not use Interfolio. I thought it was pretty straight forward to enter their info on AADSAS and have them send a letter request to the writer. I, nor my writers, had any trouble with getting letters submitted - including a couple less tech savvy writers.
I probably would, but it won’t carry much weight. It definitely won’t hurt.
I would, while the subject may not help you, because dental schools will probably like seeing a clean record for that licence.
If the second attempt appears on your transcript, I would consider it repeated.
One of the requirements for prerequisites is getting a C or better in them, so matching W or F courses would do nothing to fulfill said requirements. If you don’t have another course to fulfill them, you’d better plan on taking one in the future to meet the prereqs.
I believe and you check the instructions that W courses do not count as repeated courses.
Yeah, so complete means that the schools know your application exists. Most schools won't look at it until the transcripts are verified which currently has been taking 1-2 weeks. Your transcripts will turn from arrived to verified and you should get an email.
Some schools will allow letters to be directly mailed to them.
You do not have to provide transcripts for in progress courses. I’d submit your application as soon as possible, without the grade. But yes you could update your application with the grade at a later date.
I would count that as volunteer. Dental is more specific to working with dentists or in the dental field.
You can add it. There is nothing wrong with working with relatives. Just make sure you have other experiences.
I took the spot to talk about why I struggled that semester and what I did to remedy the situation so that it wouldn't happen again.
Manual dexterity would be a good place to talk about that. Your PS might also be good if you have the room.
Understandable. I am not sure wear in experiences you could fit it in unless you could work it into an achievement or a club/band.
What would you need to change? If the transcript is verified that means it should be correct.
You should be able to edit an planned courses. Once the course is complete you will need to resend the transcript.
Indents won't work on the application, you'll have to leave spaces between paragraphs.
Yes, they just want an idea of what you'll be taking, but you don't have to stick to it word for word. You'll send in an updated transcript during the Academic Update period anyways, and that might show different courses than the one you have submitted now- that's fine. 🙂 AADSAS might change it to match what's on your transcript, but you can just change it back during the Update period. Since it's planned, I don't think they'll change it.
Yeah, it typically takes a weekish if you have taken your DAT already. If you just took it or will take it, it takes about 2-3 weeks, I believe. Eventually, though the AADSAS will just match the scores that are connected with your dentpin. You will not have to do anything.
