How about all that extra stuff like volunteer work, research projects, and extracurriculars? Well now it’s time to lay it all on the line!\u00a0The American Dental Education Association (ADEA<\/a>) has officially opened the Associated American Dental Schools Application Service aka the\u00a0AADSAS<\/a>\u00a0for the 2018 cycle!<\/strong><\/p>\n

*Now just because the application is open until February doesn’t mean this gets to go on the back burner. It is highly suggested by literally everyone (schools, advisors, DAT Cracker, and me) that you get your completed application in the summer time<\/em>!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Check out the full & official ADEA AADSAS Application Instructions\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For now we’ll focus on the highlights…<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Getting Started…<\/span><\/h3>\n

Firstly you’ll need to create an ADEA AADSAS account<\/strong>, here<\/a>, and receive an\u00a0identification number for the application process. This account\/number is different from you DENTPIN<\/a>\u00a0you created for taking the Dental Admission Test (DAT). But have your DENTPIN<\/strong> handy too because you’ll need it submit your DAT scores along to dental schools through the AADSAS.<\/p>\n

The application is dense<\/em> and filling it out all the required information is a task not to be taken lightly.\u00a0Take your time to insure all the detailed information\u00a0is correct. Some of the sections you’ll see include Personal Information, Academic History,Relevant Experiences, and your Personal Statement<\/em> to name a few.<\/p>\n
