What is the difference between ADEA PASS and Match?
ADEA PASS and Match are separate and distinct services. ADEA PASS is a central application service which distributes application information to programs to initiate the application process. The Match is used by applicants and programs to determine the final placement of applicants into positions after the application and evaluation process is completed. ADEA PASS is administered by the American Dental Education Association (ADEA), while Match is administered by National Matching Services Inc. (NMS).
