The instuctions on AADSAS say that we have to send the secondary once we submit the application. However, Western's website says that we will get a notice in order to fill out the sec. application. This is confusing. I tried to call them, but noone picks up the phone, nor returns the call.
Anyone has a clue about this?
My application was mailed on August 11th, and My DAT was taken 3 weeks before that. I have not heard anything fromt them yet.

I called last week and was told that they had only looked at about 100 applications so far. The lady said they hadn't sent out an e-mail yet to update the status for people. I was calling to check the receipt of my DAT scores. They had everything. I think the problem is they send you to the recruiter and he is very busy. Being a new school I would expect some delays. I would wait as they haven't sent out anything yet.

Thx for letting me know about your call.
So have you sent your secondary yet?
 
Sorry, no I have not sent a secondary yet. From my conversation they were still reviewing what they had and have not sent out requests or notices via e-mail yet. From other posts it appears that Ca takes a little bit more time to get rolling than others.
 
hey harry, this might help you too. b/c i had no clue that there was a $60 app fee and a prereq course sheet until i received this. good luck!

Dear 😀,

Thank you for submitting your supplemental application for Western University’s College of Dental Medicine!

After a quick review of your documents, I noticed that you did not submit the $60.00 application fee or the Prerequisite Course Worksheet. You can access the worksheet on our web site at http://prospective.westernu.edu/dentistry/apply. Please submit the application fee and worksheet as soon as possible so we may continue processing your application.

I would like to take this opportunity to give you an idea of what the rest of the application process will look like.

Admissions Committee Review
Once we verify that you submitted the proper documents and meet all our requirements, we will forward your application to the Admissions Committee for review. After their review, highly qualified applicants will be invited for an interview. Interviews are required prior to acceptance.

Interviews
We anticipate that interviews will be held from early September 2008 through April 2009. We will provide you with more details about this process at the time you are invited.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Have a great day!

Thank you for sharing. Had they previously asked you to you complete and mail the secondary app or you just did it without any notification?
 
They had the secondary up on their website.
 
I just sent in the secondary right after I turned in my AADSAS. All the directions are on their website.

i remember they had nothing on their site early june, but then they emailed me as soon as the secondary was available online. i just did it as soon as i was notified it was online...i dont think they need to notify you first.
