Hello Everyone, I have some questions regarding the application procedure and I would love your input/Help

I'm a third year Student applying this cycle
My spring grades are not released until the end of June.
UCSF has told me that they would like to see those grades from all applicants

My letters or rec dont come in until June ~ 18

And I'm considering applying for Fee assistance ( which begins tomorow and takes some time)

DO you think I should wait to apply? Or should I apply tomorrow without my letters/spring grades. are there any other third years who have heard of something like this?

Would waiting till late June affect my application much?

Does anyone know when the batches of applications are sent out?
Do Dental schools read applications without letters?

Thank you so much! I appreciate any input

I would definitely wait to apply. Your application won't even be viewed until your letters are in. 2.5 years of grades is not enough to make a decision on you. Wait until your spring grades are in and send it following their submission. What's going on with your DAT?

There's no reason to submit tomorrow. So, your grades and letters are in by the end if June? Still early. Assuming you'll have your DAT done by late summer and you have decent stats, I don't see a reason not to apply.

YES! Apply!

Oh, I misread something. Just hangout until your grades are in. Don't let SDN make you think you need to submit tomorrow.

Thank you! So I should wait until My spring grades are in huh? Were on a trimester system here. so 2.66 years of grades + 2 Summer Quarters done so far.

Also its the schools pressuring me too haha. Western Dental told me to apply apply apply ASAP!, but some schools like UCLA and UOP said they don't start reviewing until October.

It's only a few weeks. Your stats are hot. May as well appease the schools who suggested waiting on more grades. You will be plenty early and have a competitive application. Go shop for interview attire while you wait.

End of June is plenty early! I bet you get first round interviews at many places with those stats. Following the logistics of getting your letters and final grades in will make all the difference at some of the top tier schools! GL

Thanks for the advice!

I have everything ready to go.

I guess I'll be playing the waiting game.
