“If you are planning
to apply to dental school in the United States, ADEA AADSAS

Esteghamat, a first-year dental student at Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of
USC. “If you are aiming to apply for dental school right after your
undergraduate degree, ADEA AADSAS can be filled out during your junior year.

on a rolling basis (first come, first served). The earlier you apply by
submitting the complete application, the higher your chance of getting an
invitation for early interviews.” ...
