Hey guys! Who's going to be in the sixth batch with me?

Just finished my personal statement, that took long enough. I submitted today, and it was also verified today. So it looks like either the verification process is speeding up or there weren't any changes they needed to make to my listed coursework (my grades weren't +/- so that makes it simple for them.)

Let's keep each other posted on application status, interviews, etc! 🙂

I am submitting tonight! I don't know how long they would take to verify. But I hope it is as quick as you.
 
I submitted yesterday and was verified today. It should be pretty quick for you too as long as your transcripts are already in.
 
Wow, it's crazy how fast they have gotten!
 
Yeah! I think now that they have gotten past the initial rush of applicants, it shouldn't take too long for anyone. Diene, are you in this batch as well?
 
How many schools are you all applying to?

Nope, I was in the 4th batch! At that point it took about 10 days or so for verification lol but I am glad things are speeding up now 🙂
 
Nine right now, and anywhere from seven to thirteen more depending on my DAT retake scores. How about you?
Only four for sure right now. I will add more before Friday, and probably get up to eight.

Make sure to add them by Wednesday night if you want them in the current batch because on Thursday morning/through out the day, they prepare the apps for mailing.

Oh, thank you!! Good to know!
 
I have submitted my application last wednesday and my gpa was verified last friday. But one of my LORs is not received yet (I have a committee letter and a LOR from a dentist, but the one from the dentist is not received yet), is AADSAS going to wait until all the LORs are received?
I took a month to write my personal statement and I feel bad about me having submitted so late. I am kinda desperate to send my app this batch...
 
I called a dental school just now to ask a question and they asked me why I am applying so late.

I hope we are not that late!

Unfortunately, you are.

Cynical Debbie Downer much? Yes, we're not early... but that doesn't mean we're late either. It's still August for goodness' sake. Predent36, just get those secondaries in soon, and then your file will be complete 🙂 First batchers are right where we are if they haven't submitted their secondaries at the schools that require it. Still plenty of pre-Dec interviews at the schools I'm looking at. I don't see any reason to worry...

Yes, indeed! My spirit was kinda down earlier, but it's rising back up. 🙂 It's good to be optimistic. SDN makes you a little crazy.
Good luck to you, cluckyducky!

Sixth batch is definitely better than say the 20th batch.

Lol yeah, don't listen to some of these kids on SDN. Optimism will get us much farther for sure. I just PMed you! Good luck to you, too! 😀
 
submitted monday night and verified earlier today lol. I'm applying to 7 schools, good luck everyone! One of my good friends is in third batch (sent out late june/early july I believe) and got couple of interviews already include NYU.

Edit: Actually, he was the second batch lol

Awesome! Good to know 🙂 And best of luck this cycle!
 
I like this thread 🙂

So optimistic!
 
I was hoping my application would go out this week but it appears the registrar sent my transcripts without the last semester grades. I got a message from AADSAS to get an updated transcript which will probably take another two weeks to get it there and verified if I am lucky. Oh well, nothing I can do now but wait.
 
How long did it take you all to get your transcripts 'accepted' into AADSAS after you requested your school send them in? I didn't realize you could do all of that beforehand so I waited for my DAT scores before doing my AADSAS app (should have been on this site a long time ago!). I requested them from my schools (4 of them🙄) on 7/24, called all of them and they all say they were sent out on 7/25, but still nothing in AADSAS, starting to get nervous. Hopefully this isn't a big learning experience for next year!!

I actually requested mine forever ago in June. It took a week and a half until my school finally sent them, then maybe another week-ish until they showed up on aadsas. If yours were mailed on the 25th, it sounds like they should be in by the end of this week or early next week.

Figure it takes about 3-5 days in the mail and then possibly 10 days for AADSAS to process (depending how busy &/or many transcripts you sent).

More like a batch of slackers....😀

Like I said, how old are we? We're adults, so start acting like one if you want any hope of being a successful dental professional. If you have nothing meaningful to contribute to this thread or even these forums, get your nose out of our business, because what you have to say irrelevant. Gain some social skills please, maybe it'll help you in interviews.

How are you going to handle four years of dental school with the maturity level of a child and an unwarranted superiority complex? Just curious.

My mailing date changed to 8/3! I'm so happy I'm in the sixth batch for sure. I got everything except PS in before July, but I was having a lot of trouble with the PS and finally submitted it on Monday. GPA verified on Wednesday. Now I just have to start working really hard on secondaries... 😛
 
i'm in with you guys!

applied to 7 schools! 🙂 hope to hear from them soon!

Good luck to you all!
 
I agree! Looks like we have a nice batch of people here. Will you be joining us in this batch!?

Yes! 🙂

My application went out this morning. Best of luck to all of us!
 
transcript received: 6/14/12
dat score received: 6/21/12
e-submitted: 7/13/12
re-e-submitted due to an error: 7/20/12
application verified: 7/26/12
mailed: 8/3/12

FINALLY!! 🙂🙂🙂

good luck everyone!
 
How do I check if my application is mailed out or not? On the mobile the status is still "submitted" but I have got an email from a school that my application was received...
So is my application mailed out? Why AADSAS does not tell me anything about this?

Hey there! So when you're on the AADSAS portal online, on the right under "My Application Status" go to "Dental School Designations." You'll find it there 🙂
 
I E-submitted on Aug 1st and have received 4 secondaries already on August 3rd? I wasn't expecting any of that until like 2 weeks from now? Anyone else get secondaries already?

Yes, I did. When I called ADEA AADSAS, they said that our applications would be available to the schools electronically ten days from when I submitted, but I guess not! I'm not complaining though. How many schools did you apply to? Good luck on those secondaries 🙂
 
Bump

Lol, didn't want the thread to disappear! Hope everyone is staying sane!
 
Our time hasn't come yet for the interview! Still submitting checks/couple of secondaries lol
 
Hello everyone,
Just wanted to bump this thread and see if anything exciting is happening with my fellow 6th batchers.
As for me... I have no interviews yet.. just a bunch of app complete emails.
Everyday has been a disappointment so far =/
 
I haven't received any interviews yet either. I only got app complete email from NYU, I applied to NYU, temple, stony, buffalo, columbia, UMDNJ and boston, I didn't hand in boston secondary yet

I see. We have a few schools in common. Just wanted to list them for everyone else in 6th batch to see...

NYU - app complete email on 8/17
Temple - haven't sent me anything since that "app received" email on 8/3 =/
Columbia - "receipt of fee" email on 8/16
BU - "supp app + fee received" email on 8/12

I'm starting to worry... I wonder if anyone from 6th has gotten interviews.. really hoping to hear back from some schools soooon :xf:

Don't worry, I'm sure they'll come!

No interviews here yet either, but my final LOR was only mailed out last Friday.

Just waiting patiently now.
 
Haven't gotten any interviews +1. I really really hope I can get interview somewhere pre-december 🙁

Sent from my Desire HD using SDN Mobile
 
Really thought we were on the earlier side of the application process but I guess not...
