Hi all!
I'm currently in the process of applying to dental school. I've had some issues with my application and even though I submitted back in June, my application wasn't considered complete until September because of the following reasons:
1. Adding a planned Spring 2023 course, that affected my AADSAS verification
2. There was an AADSAS error where I was verified on their end but not on my portal or to the schools. So although I submitted in the first week of July, I wasn’t verified until mid August.
3. One of my letters of recommendation was submitted without a letterhead. I was recently informed and had it replaced in the 1st week of September.
For some context, I attended the University of Minnesota and graduated with a BS in Biology and a GPA of 3.56. I took the DAT in March 2022 and got a 21 AA and over a 20 in all sections. I haven't really heard anything from any of the schools I applied to, just that my application was considered complete in September.
I just don't know where I stand or how good my odds are, is there still a chance? Additionally, I have heard that sending a letter of interest can increase your odds. Should I be patient or just accept that I'll need to reapply?
Sorry for the long message and happy to receive any input.
Thank you!
