Hey Guys,

Everyone is getting supplementary questions at different rates, but of course it is to our advantage to submit those early (especially, if you are a slow writer like myself).

I wanted to offer to exchange questions among ourselves.
I am seeking questions for the following schools:

Maryland

Boston

LECOM

Tufts

Stony book

Temple

Virginia Commonwealth

Thanks!!!
 
Go to the different schools website to see if they have supplementals or not because I know Tufts only has a fee and Temple's supplemental is on their website and there's no essay with that...

No extra questions beyond the program materials for Maryland. I don't know about the other schools.

thank you!!! oh i see, is this it for Temple? Supplemental Application | Temple University - Maurice H. Kornberg School of Dentistry
I was a bit confused because another website section says "The only paper records we require are submission of the supplementary application (emailed once the application is processed) " (copied from here: How to Apply | Temple University - Maurice H. Kornberg School of Dentistry)
 
nice! did you get the request for program materials emailed to you or is it available online?
thanks!
the program materials are a section on the aadsas application. Boston's supplemental question are also just on the program material materials section. This is a new section on the application this year and many schools are using it to put their supplemental questions so you submit it with your primary application instead of sending it later.

Hey! I can't find the supplemental application information for Temple. When I Google "temple dental supplemental application", this comes up: Supplemental Application | Temple University - Maurice H. Kornberg School of Dentistry, but there is nothing there. Do they email you their supp information instead?
 
I'm confused, on Temple's website it says to wait for the supplemental app to be emailed, people are finding it now on their website?

Also for the BU people the wait right now for many isn't supplemental questions, rather the link to pay the secondary fee.

**EDIT**

So for temple I got an email and they said the supplemental will be emailed out once they receive your completed application from AADSAS. I'm confused because my app has been complete for weeks now

I emailed temple and they said: The school has not began processing applications. You will be contacted with instructions on when to pay.

funny how different schools are. some already been giving out interviews for like almost 2 week...others haven't even logged into their AADSAS lol. I really do not understand why some schools wait...it would make sense to me as early as possible to avoid getting backed up.

So after emailing and saying to them my app is complete, I got a reply that said they've received my app and will send email for supp..? But the first email I sent the reply I got was like "once the office receives your completed app..."

I was a bit confused about Temple's supplementary too so I called the admissions office about a week ago to ask. They said that they would email the supplementary application and where to pay the fee once the application is processed. If that helps 🙂

I paid my fee for Tufts around a week ago and didn't receive any update if they got the fee or not? Did anyone by any chance got a confirmation that they received it after paying?

I got a receipt from them. The email said:

"Dear ...
"Thank you for submitting your application fee to Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. ..."

Don't know if that's what you're asking about or not.

Do you guys think it's a little late filling out the supplementals right now? I'm in the midst of doing the secondary apps right now and is just taking longer than I planned.

I just don't know when is early nowadays whether it's being complete in June or completing before August rolls around.

You're still early if GPA is verified. If the main app is in secondary aren't urgent. Just get them done as u can. You're good

July is still early, don't worry. August/September is when it starts getting a little late for some schools, though still possible to get acceptances.

Are you referring to the school-based questions that are within the AADSAS app itself?

I already submitted the primary AADSAS app. There's a few schools that I still haven't submitted it for because the school-based/secondary questions are included in the AADSAS app, which i'm currently working on.
