🦷Dental School Application Cycle Checklist✅ - July Edition
Are you in the thick of the dental school application cycle?
📝Here’s a checklist of key areas to focus on this month:
1. Primary Application (ADEA AADSAS): If it's not in, submit it NOW. Then, become an eagle-eyed monitor: verification can take 4-6 weeks, so confirm your status is "Verified" and all transcripts, LORs, and DAT scores are received. Fix any "Undelivered" issues instantly. You can access the official ADEA AADSAS Applicant Portal here.
2. Supplemental Applications (Secondaries): Expect these soon. Submit within two weeks. Tailor responses to each school's mission, showcasing unique experiences and authenticity; do not repeat your primary application.
3. DAT Scores: Ideally, scores are ready now. If not, schedule ASAP. Strong scores are crucial; retakes require 90 days.
4. Interview Preparation: Invitations start late summer/early fall. Research schools, practice common questions, do mock interviews, and plan professional attire.
5. Financial Aid Planning: While offers are still months away (Dec 15th start), begin your research on FAFSA and scholarship opportunities. Early planning pays off.
July is about ensuring your AADSAS is polished and complete, secondaries are submitted swiftly, and you're ready to impress in interviews.
