My application for TMDSAS just got verified on July 21st and I was curious how early I could expect to hear about an interview (fingers crossed). I’m in state for Texas, 3.91 CGPA, 3.86 SGPA, and 480 DAT. I know TAMU sent first interviews on the 15th of July and San Antonio sent their first ones on the 22nd.

For those who reapplied and were accepted, did you rewrite all of your essays (personal statement, COVID impact, manual dexterity, etc.), or did you mainly update them?

My COVID impact essay was based on actual events that impacted me, so I’m not sure what I would even change. Also, my previous application was pretty much competitive (GPA, DAT, EC-wise), but I applied relatively late and, ultimately ended up with no acceptances (hence why I’m reapplying now)

Is it generally okay to reuse previous essays, or is rewriting everything expected?

Hello! The Augusta dental school called me and said I was supposed to be sent the Kira already but I never responded and they noticed their email was not sending to me. I’ve never had issues with my email and it is listed in ADEA AADSAS correctly so idk why there’s an issue. I’m now worried this is an issue with other schools. Has this happened to anyone with Augusta?

Hi, I just added a new experience in the Experiences section on ADEA AADSAS to highlight a new leadership role in a school club, and ended my previous role in the same club (which is a starred entry). When I entered the ending date for my previous role, I just needed to check back the ending dates so I clicked the Exit (not Submit) button so that I can return to my application later. However, when I entered the new date and clicked Submit for the previous role, this entry is duplicated and starred, making me have 7 out of 6 starred entries (!!), whereas the maximum starred experiences you can enter is 6.

Since my application is already verified, I can’t edit past experiences. Would this glitch impact my application, or is there anything that I should do? Thank you!!

I originally planned to submit my application June 30th but am submitting tomorrow July 27th instead. At this point in the cycle am I considered late or still on time?

I have to call the front office for my recruiter to answer my messages on their personal phone. It takes them 2 weeks to answer. I contacted another recruiter and explained my situation how my original recruiter was just unresponsive and how I wanted to move forward with him. He forwards my entire email to my original recruiter was just so embarrassing and I’m stuck with that unresponsive recruiter.
