What is the Dental School application process like?
Most dental schools use a central application service known as the Associated American Dental Schools Application Service or AADSAS. From their website you will need to set up an account and fill out the many categories of information including your personal information, the classes you have taken, the class you plan to take, an essay, and others. You will also need to send official copies of your transcripts to AADSAS which they will use to calculate your GPA. You then need to select which schools you wish to apply to. When you have completed all the information, you will then submit your dental school application and pay the fee which is based on the number of schools you are applying too. After you submit, it takes anywhere for 4 to 8 weeks for your selected schools to receive your AADSAS application. Once the individual schools receive your application, if they consider you a competitive applicant you will receive notification from that school that your application is under review
