When you fill out your secondary application for dental schools (after completing AADSAS), do any of them ask you to send them your transcripts as well? Or are they just looking at what you've entered on AADSAS (i.e. what AADSAS sends to them after they've verified transcripts)?

do not ask for transcripts. if i'm not mistaken, a few of mine asked for short anwer responses, and the rest asked for basic information & of course, money 🙂

So basically, as far as grades are concerned...all they see is what you listed on AADSAS?

What you listed on AADSAS and whats on your transcript should be identical in the first place so it would be redundant, would it not?

Out of the 15 schools I applied to, only Penn needed transcripts before being accepted.

Not necessarily, one of the schools I attended used a non-letter grade system of grading. Since AADSAS only allows you to choose from A,B,C,D,F or "Pass" as a grade, then the transcript will be different from what I have to put on AADSAS (which is "Pass").

Also, I took a Pass/fail course in undergrad...and on my transcript it says "S" for satisfactory...but on AADSAS I'd have to put "Pass"

So, what's on AADSAS doesn't necessarily equal what'd be on the transcript. This is why I'm asking.
