It is likely tomorrow, April 1, for most schools, assuming they were alerted March 1 and gave 1 month to confirm. After May 15*, schools can give as little time as they want, even 24 hours to confirm or risk losing all offers.
Dental schools participating in ADEA AADSAS will report to ADEA AADSAS by March 1 the names of candidates who hold a position in their entering class. After March 5, ADEA AADSAS will report to each institution the names of candidates in their entering class who are holding acceptance(s) at additional institutions (only names are reported with no other additional information). The process for candidates holding multiple positions is as follows:
- Dental schools with candidates holding multiple positions on March 1 of the year of admission will contact such candidates and give the candidates a minimum fifteen-day notice to affirm their position in the class or to withdraw their position.
- If the candidate does not respond within the allotted notification time frame, the dental school may choose to withdraw the candidate from the entering class.
- Notification times may be shortened after April 15.
- Dental schools will have the option of rescinding an offer of admission to candidates who are holding positions at multiple institutions.
*
Applicant Response Periods. Allow an applicant who has been given a provisional or final acceptance between December 1 and January 31, the minimum response period shall be 30 days, and for applicants accepted on or after February 1, the minimum response period may be reduced to 15 days. The response period may be lifted after May 15, or two weeks before the beginning of the academic year, whichever comes first. If the candidate does not respond within the allotted notification time frame, the dental school may choose to withdraw the candidate from the entering class.
