The most comprehensive database of dental school secondary application questions — confirmed prompts by school, pre-writing strategy, and how your secondary answers become your interview script. return ( You submit your AADSAS application in June. Within days — sometimes hours — supplemental application requests start arriving. Each one has a fee, a set of prompts, and an implicit deadline that no school publishes but every admissions officer enforces: the faster you respond, the earlier you're reviewed, and with rolling admissions, the earlier you're reviewed, the more seats remain. Most applicants treat secondaries as an afterthought — something to handle after submitting their primary. This is a strategic mistake. The applicants who receive early interview invitations are the ones who pre-write their secondary responses before AADSAS even opens, then submit completed secondaries within 48–72 hours of receiving them. This guide

provides every confirmed supplemental question for the 2026–2027 cycle, organized by school, with strategic notes on what each program is actually looking for and how your secondary answers become the foundation of your interview. How Dental School Secondary Applications Work Dental school supplemental applications — commonly called "secondaries" — come in two forms, and understanding the distinction matters for your preparation timeline. Type 1: Embedded in AADSAS Some schools include their supplemental questions directly within the AADSAS application. You answer them as part of your primary submission. These are sometimes called "program materials" within the AADSAS system, and they appear after you add specific schools to your application list. Type 2: Sent Separately After Screening Other schools wait until they've received and screened your AADSAS application, then send a separate supplemental application — either through email or

through their own application portal. These typically include a fee ($30–$150), additional essay prompts, and sometimes requests for supplemental letters or documentation. <CalloutBox variant=" }; export default DentalSchoolSecondaryQuestions;
