So I was just viewing "application PDF" under the dental school designations to preview what they see, and noticed my coversheet has me an age older than I really am...what the?? I was born Aug 1986 and am 25 not 26! anyone know why this could be or anyone else notice the same?

My 24th birthday is in July and my application says I'm 24 already. I'm assuming it's to show the age we'd be when admitted, since that information gets recorded for the adea guides.

The same happened to me. I am 23, but they put 24. My birthday is July, so maybe our birthdays are coming up soon and they wanted to round up our ages. Just a guess.

Maybe they had a lazy programmer, and for age, he just did 2012 - birth year.
