Pre-Dental Students - New in 2018: 2019 ADEA AADSAS Application Cycle Begins Three Weeks’ Earlier


 

Gain Early Access: Start the 2019 ADEA AADSAS Cycle in Mid-May!

 

Ready? Set? Let’s Get Started! The 2019 ADEA AADSAS® (American Dental Education Association Associated American Dental Schools Application Service) “soft opens” on May 15, 2018, allowing applicants to start the 2018-2019 application three weeks prior to the official opening. 
  • For advisors, encourage prospective students to take advantage of extra preparatory time. Prepare in mid-May, then submit as early as June 5, 2018.
  • For applicants, this added preparatory time ends the pressure to submit same-day, resulting in applications at-the-ready for submission on June 5, 2018.
  • The submission period runs from June 5, 2018 to February 1, 2019.
Top Benefits for Applicants
  • Gain Early Access. With an early start in mid-May, applicants may submit in early June once the cycle opens.
  • Plan Ahead. Applicants now have extra time to learn what the application requires and what is needed for its completion before having to submit it.
  • Submit Early. Now applicants may time a submission to submit in the month of June for an early submission.
  • Manage Application Costs. Applicants who request an ADEA Fee Assistance may obtain a decision in June.
The 2019 ADEA AADSAS Application Schedule

Starting May 15, 2018 *:
  • Applicants and reapplicants may begin to prepare the 2019 ADEA AADSAS application in mid-May. Added time for preparation allows applicants to submit early—June 5, 2018 is the first date to submit an ADEA AADSAS application.
  • Applicants can print the Transcript Matching Form and send it to their registrar’s office.
  • Applicants can request recommendation letters.
  • ADEA AADSAS will accept Dental Admission Test (DAT) scores from the American Dental Association (ADA).
  • Applicants requesting funding from the ADEA Fee Assistance Program (FAP) can mail the required documents to ADEA AADSAS.
* Of Note: Advisors may also create a 2019 ADEA AADSAS “test” application starting May 15.
Starting June 5, 2018:

  • Applicants and reapplicants, make the choice to submit early—June 5, 2018 is the first date to submit an ADEA AADSAS application.
  • If all official transcripts are received, ADEA AADSAS will start the application verification process.
  • Applicants who submitted all required documents for ADEA Fee Assistance will begin receiving decision statuses.

The American Society for Microbiology UF Chapter would like to invite you to our third GBM of the spring semester this Thursday (March 15th) at 6:30pm in the Microbiology and Cell Science building's seminar room!
ASM Gators will be having a Medical School Panel with current medical students! 
This will be a great opportunity for anyone who is considering medical school and wants to hear about what medical school is actually like or for anyone who will be applying this summer and has any questions about their application or what to expect at interviews. Applying for medical school can be very intimidating so come hear from current medical students who have successfully made it through!

We hope to see you there!
