Subject: [HLTHPROF] ADEA AADSAS
2010 Application Cycle
All:
This
is to provide important information about the launch of the ADEA AADSAS 2010
application cycle.
- The AADSAS 2010 cycle will launch on June 1,
2009. Traditionally, AADSAS has launched on May 15, but we are
delaying our opening this year as we move AADSAS to a new technology
platform. The content of the application is very similar to previous
years, but applicants will find a better flow to the application and
enhancements to help them keep up-to-date on their application status.
June 1 is the date applicants can begin filling out and submitting
their applications (there never has been one date for applicants to begin
filling out AADSAS applications and a separate date when they can begin
submitting them). We anticipate that we will start applications to
schools in mid June.
- Applicants to AADSAS 2009 who plan to re-apply in
2010 are reminded to print a copy of their 2009 applications. After
May 29, 2009 the 2009 AADSAS application will no longer be
accessible to applicants. At present, re-applicants must create a
new 2010 AADSAS application and re-enter coursework information,
etc. (We hope to be able to “move forward” applicant
data for re-applicants in future years, but do not have this option at
present.)
- The process for submitting Letters of Evaluation
to AADSAS remains unchanged from last year. Applicants continue to
have the option to submit four individual Letters of Evaluation OR one
Committee Report plus one individual Letter of Evaluation. AADSAS
considers a Committee Report to be:
- A Committee Letter with
supporting letters attached OR
- A Committee Letter that is
composed and uses quotes from various evaluators but does not have
supporting letters attached OR
- A Composite letter which
usually consists of a cover letter from an advising office and a
collection of individual evaluation letters that are attached; with
composite letters, the advising office serves as a central collection
service for the applicant but does not make additional assessments of the
candidate
AADSAS does not have a relationship with VirtualEvals
and does not have the ability to receive letters uploaded to VirtualEvals.
We
look forward to working with you as we launch the 2010 AADSAS application
cycle. If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact me.
