From the opening screen, scroll down and click on Associated American Dental Schools Application Service (AADSAS). The deadline for submission of the completed AADSAS application is November 1st. This deadline is thoroughly discussed in the AADSAS application instructions and thus should be reviewed by the applicant. Remember to check the requirements for each dental school you are applying to, these vary from school to school. Even though the application deadline is November 1st it is to your advantage to submit application early because the committee begins admitting the class on December 1st.
