So on the Western U supplementary, they ask:


"This space is provided to allow you to describe any additional information you would like the Admissions and Selection Committee to consider or aspects of your application which you think may seem confusing or incomplete as they are stated elsewhere.

You may also use this space to explain factors such as:
factors that may have had a negative effect on some aspect of your academic performance, experience in dentistry, extracurricular/volunteerism/community service, and why you are applying to the Western University of Health Sciences College of Dental Medicine specifically."



Last time I checked, all that information was already inputed in the AADSAS application; I used the "disadvantaged" section of the AADSAS and explained academic performance; my EC section talked a bit about my volunteer hours, assisting, etc; the only part that's new is the part about why I wanna attend WesternU but is that what everyone else is gonna be writing about too?

I don't get it.


Also, for UNLV:

"Please attach an additional sheet to explain any extenuating circumstances or provide the admissions committee with
additional information that may be useful in evaluating your credentials."


SAME THING! It's all on the AADSAS app! What else can I possibly add?


And I will do it; I know writing nothing doesn't look good and I wanna put myself in a good position so I really wanna take advantage of this chance, but I really don't know what else to write when everything is already on my AADSAS application.
 
I felt the exact same about their Q.. I dont know what to write neither.
 
Use your best judgment. If you feel like you don't need to write anything...then don't!
 
Yeah everyone says that but we all know if you DO write something, it looks better.
 
I am applying to both those schools too. I think that you shouldn't be redundant. If there really is something special that is not on the AADSAS application, then put it. I am going to try to think of a polite/professional way to say that all the information is already on my AADSAS application.

Yeah same here. Maybe I'll just further elaborate.
