The Interfolio Blog

This summer, we’ve seen a big increase the number of Interfolio users who are applying to dental school.  If you are applying to dental school, you can use Interfolio to send your letters of recommendation to AADSAS.

AADSAS requires Interfolio users to indicate in the AADSAS application that they will be submitting the letters by paper, but the delivery type from the Interfolio account will be electronic.

To send your recommendation letters from Interfolio to AADSAS, you will need to collect these documents in your Interfolio account:

• Letters of recommendation from at least three professional contacts. 
• Corresponding AADSAS matching forms for each writer.

If you need help figuring out how to request your letters of recommendation using Interfolio, we have a lot of information in our Help Center.  For those new to our process, I encourage you to review this article.

Once you have requested your letters, you are ready to collect your AADSAS matching forms.  To generate your AADSAS forms, you will log into your dental application and navigate to the “Evaluators” section.  You will need to generate a separate form for each evaluator.  These forms will be printed, signed and faxed to us at (202)-403-3783.  If you have access to a scanner, you can upload the forms to your account electronically. Once the signed documents are scanned in, you will need to repeat this process for each AADSAS form.

Once you have all of your letters and matching forms stored within your account, you will be able to create a delivery by doing the following:

• Log into Interfolio, navigate to the “Delivery” tab and select “Add Delivery”.  In step one of the process, search for AADSAS and select it as the receiving destination.
• In step two, add the letters of recommendation and corresponding matching forms that you have collected in your Interfolio account.
• Step 3, include your AADSAS application ID number.
• Finally, you will click the orange “Check Out” button at the bottom of the page and choose one of the paper options as your delivery method.

Then, our Operations team will assemble your requested documents and ship them out accordingly. And, that’s it; you are now on your way to filling cavities, prescribing your first set of dentures and reminding your patients to floss regularly.
