Starting to prep for filling out AADSAS in only 7 short weeks (yikes), and realized that when June 1st rolls around, I may have a more-than-average amount of dentists/specialists I've shadowed. I've bounced back and forth between home and school, and had to switch away from places that charge $20+ for parking each day (for obvious college-budget reasons).

So my question is: is there a limit to how many dentists you can list on the app for shadowing? Will they cut you off after a certain point?

Thanks all!

I think they limit you to 10 entries within the application if I remember correctly. Some secondary apps give you the opportunity to mention dental experience not listed on your application though.

Keep in mind there's a new version of AADSAS this year so no one really knows what kind of changes there will be. I do know that in the beta version that's currently being tested by admissions offices around the country allow applicants to update their activities throughout the application cycle, but that also is subject to change by the time the official version is released in June. So just stay tuned for now

You mean I can for starter add for example 80 hours of shadowing and after week from applying I can add more hours if I did more shadowing? Is that possible?

If so, this is such a relief, as I was planning to add more shadowing and volunteering hours before studying the dat and that would delay me a lot.

From what an admission officer showed me, yes that will be the case. BUT she emphasized to me that it's possible this is only a feature in the beta and may be turned off when it goes live to everyone so I wouldn't bank on it. Get your hours done now if possible!
