Awesome! I was looking at the 2017 thread and it looks like it took 2-3 weeks to verify for the people in the first batch. Have you received any supplementals yet?

Thanks, you as well! Nope, none yet. I'm checking every day though I'll probably post here when I do receive my first.

Have you received anything from schools yet saying they've received your AADSAS application?
 
I have not. I submitted on June 5 with all of my LOE, transcripts, and DAT score uploaded. I did call a school and they told me that they see my application in the system, but it has not yet been verified.

Nope. I just emailed one school but no reply yet. Called AADSAS and they said it can take up to 4 weeks for grade verification. 4 weeks is so long :/

Same here man. I guess we have to just wait for verification to proceed. I paid one supplemental fee but that's it, no supplemental applications so far.

For "Iowa (Interview)", have they already reached out to you to schedule an interview or did you participate in the Iowa SHPEP?

Yes it’s normal to take over a week. AADSAS says it can take up to 4 weeks but to call them after 2 weeks.

How do you know if your application has been mailed? Does the status change to “mailed?” So far the status for all my schools is “verified.”

The status will remain as verified, but you will begin to receive emails from schools acknowledging that they have received your application.
 
I've had multiple schools contact me for supplemental apps at this time.

Anyone applied to UMKC and had them reach out to you to fill out a supplemental? They don’t have an application for dental school up yet for me....I’ve opened three applications through their portal trying to see if they had drop down options or something. Now I can’t delete them haha.
So has anyone filled out the supplemental yet?

So nearly everyone applying this cycle has a 24, 25, 26, 27 AA and/or TS? That is what it appears based on this thread.

I thought I was in a great place with 23TS/AA, but it appears I may just be middle of the pack at best. I read that ~20 is the average of accepted students, but I am beginning to have my doubts based on this thread and others. Man, this is going to tough.

SDN is not representative of the application pool. The average of accepted students is still 19-20
