Free guide

Your dental school application cycle, step by step

Most of the work happens in a few busy months. Knowing the order makes it manageable.

  1. 1

    Winter to spring: prepare

    Take or plan your DAT, ask for letters of recommendation, collect your experiences and hours, and start your personal statement.

  2. 2

    May: AADSAS opens

    Finish your statement and experiences, enter your coursework, and build your school list before you submit.

  3. 3

    June: submit early

    Submit as early as you can. Many schools review on a rolling basis, and AADSAS verification can take up to 10 business days after your application is complete.

  4. 4

    Summer: secondaries

    Secondaries arrive after verification. Pre-write the common prompts and aim to return each one within about two weeks.

  5. 5

    Fall and winter: interviews and decisions

    Prepare for traditional and MMI interviews. Acceptances can start in December, and some schools keep making offers into spring.

Make sure you have

  • A DAT date or score that fits the cycle
  • Letters of recommendation requested early
  • A personal statement someone else has read
  • Experiences with hours and clear descriptions
  • A school list that fits your profile and budget
  • A plan for secondaries and interview practice

“The Future Dental Prep Tutoring Program and my tutor helped me immensely. My favorite part was the mock interviews, which perfectly simulated the real experience. I am incredibly grateful for the guidance and support that helped me succeed!”

“The personal statement express was a lifesaver!!! I wasn't even going to apply this application cycle; however, with a last minute change of plans, I found myself scrambling to get everything finished. I had just written my personal statement, and was about to submit my application, and I was able to get feedback just a few hours after I sent it. The advice was very thorough and helpful! I actually talked with a dental school admissions committee on the phone to receive application feedback, and they said I had one of the best personal statements they had ever seen. Thank you Future Dental Prep!!!”

“I used the Personal Statement Express Overview that is offered by Future Dental Prep because I was finished with writing my personal statement, but I couldn't find the "perfect" final draft. I wanted an honest opinion from someone who didn't know me. Using this service was a wonderful experience! My assigned expert contacted me through email and thoroughly reviewed my personal statement within a day. The review included an overview of each paragraph with comments on the content, ways to improve the structure of the paper and grammatical corrections. In addition, my expert rated my paper out of 10 and wrote a summary of how the paper was put together and his thoughts on enhancement. The courteous feedback and timeliness of service was exactly what I needed to feel confident in my personal statement. It helped me to take what I wrote and make it into a strong, well-structured personal statement that I loved.”

“My experience with Future Dental Prep admissions was great. There was a great communication which allowed making the phone call appointment very easy. The phone call itself was very helpful for me. Before making the phone call, I was very unsure of where I stood regarding which schools I have a chance in being admitted, but my consultant made it very clear for me. He carefully answered all the questions I had and even allowed me to ask questions after the session. Now I feel confident regarding what school I will be applying to.”

“My personal experience with Future Dental Prep has been outstanding. My consultant was very responsive and helpful throughout the process of completing my personal statement. I would highly recommend this service to anyone wanting to craft an immaculate personal statement.”
