Hi all,
I completed my app on AADSAS for Howard, but they have a required document section to upload my unofficial DAT score. I am retaking it in a couple of weeks, so am I supposed to wait, or are they asking for the unofficial score for all attempts?
Thanks

Hi everyone,
I have not yet received confirmation of my application/ request to pay the supplemental fee. Has anyone else received it?

 

[rafacena]

Are there any current students at Howard that I can PM? I would like to ask you guys some specific questions.

 

[NaturallyFlossy]

hey did anyone receive the email about 10 days to submit the $75 fee? And is this the supplemental?

Do you mean 10 days ago?

 

[NaturallyFlossy]

Do you mean 10 days ago?

No I got it today. It says I have 10 days to send the payment

 

[futuredmd26]

I received that email. I'll be sending the fee today! I don't think they have a supplemental since they asked questions on the ADEA AADSAS portal.

I did and yes I believe it’s the supplemental.

Hi all, Do they send the supplemental to those they want to interview?

 

[NaturallyFlossy]

I believe they send it to everyone. (Based on last year’s thread) But at this time in the cycle, they sent it to those they want to review/interview their application first. Hope I helped!

How important is Anatomy as requirement ? Can that be satisfied after graduation at a community college ? Thanks

I completed A&P 1 at CC but finished the second part at a 4 year institution and re took them in my post-bacc also at a 4-year. Id call the school and ask, because some are particular about completing those courses at a 4 year institution. As far as importance, I feel like its better to go into dental school with background knowledge because Anatomy can be challenging in general, but having taken the course prior can make it more manageable

 

[Laki123]

Thanks so very much !!

Thank you
