I don't think this means (s)he's in.. I wish though! Then I know things are rollin at UW!

Huh? Of course "Offer made" means an acceptance. What else would it mean? lol

My application was denied... I can't believe it. I'm crushed. :(

I am so sorry to hear that man. With your stats I thought UW would snatch you right away. Call Kathy tomorrow or better, stop by her office. It might be a mistake. It happened before.

How did they notify you that you got rejected?

I am so sorry to hear that man. With your stats I thought UW would snatch you right away. Call Kathy tomorrow or better, stop by her office. It might be a mistake. It happened before.

I am going to stop by tomorrow. I'm just going to ask and see what I could have improved on my application. Thanks for the support, that is very kind of you! :thumbup:

How did they notify you that you got rejected?

I woke up to this on my AADSAS: "Application Denied. Application has been reviewed; committee has determined there will be no further review and is denied."

Seems pretty clear that they don't want me lol

Huh? Of course "Offer made" means an acceptance. What else would it mean? lol
The post stated "if so", meaning if they're accepted they'll be happy. Anyway sorry to hear about not getting accepted! What's your next top choice?

Hi everyone,
If you could please update your predents.com?
Thank you much.

The post stated "if so", meaning if they're accepted they'll be happy. Anyway sorry to hear about not getting accepted! What's your next top choice?

Exactly. Having "offer made" on their AADSAS means they were accepted lol :D

My next top choice is UConn. I was really impressed by their program, so I'm glad I made it in there.

Congrats again everyone!

She's in 100% sure. I called Kathy.

lol whatever. I read it differently. Congrats, sorry you didn't make it into UW. I'm still waiting for a reply.

Hey y'all, congrats. Saw the "offer made" on the AADSAS this morning, hoping to hear from Kathy soon.

Its either UW (doing undergrad here) or Penn (got a scholarship). If I end up at UW, hope to see you all next year.

Go Dawgs! :D

lol whatever. I read it differently. Congrats, sorry you didn't make it into UW. I'm still waiting for a reply.

lol, I was just playing :p

Good luck to you too! I hope you get the acceptance you want! :thumbup:

Hey Everyone, Congrats to everyone with "offers made" to UW! For those of you who are accepting the offer, I wanted to let you know that the Class of 2015 has created a Facebook group for you all to get to know each other. It's listed as "University of Washington School of Dentistry Class of 2016". Pat yourself on the back for finishing the application process...we all understand how challenging that was! :thumbup:

Congrats! After our chat yesterday, I thought you might have gone with Penn. Either way, I'm an really happy for you! You have earned it! :thumbup: Now take it easy since you dont have to worry about that 3.5 anymore :cool: lol

Congrats! I was wondering when did you interview?

I interviewed 10/17...I'm also holding back on telling my family, my dad is currently deployed and I want him to find out on Christmas :) I'll be joining the group then!!

My heart is with UW, but Penn is very attractive as well (scholarship made that possible). Not sure what I should do, but I am in the process of getting advice from several people I know.

If any of you UW students want to help me out with advice, please PM me. I would really appreciate it.

OK, I'm breaking my silence now that my family heard first.
I'm in and super excited about it!!!!

Congrats!!! I knew you'd get in! I'm still waiting to hear back. How did UW notify you? I'm getting a little nervous...:xf:

It was through AADSAS (Dec1).

Kaylee, I'm keeping fingers crossed for you! I really hope you get in. No news is better than bad news. I'm sure you are in the considered pile if you haven't heard anything bad in the past 2 days. You might have some waiting to do since probably everything will be slow going during the holidays, so take a break from being nervous and do enjoy them, and then start checking again after the vacay. Hugs!

For those of you still waiting to hear back from UW, what does your AADSAS status say?

"invited for interview"

Congrats!!! I knew you'd get in! I'm still waiting to hear back. How did UW notify you? I'm getting a little nervous...:xf:

Well, like others have said, no news is not bad news yet! If they wanted to reject you, they would have done so already lol. I'm really hoping the best for you!! :)

Invited for interview.

I just talked to someone I interviewed with on Nov. 21 with and he said he got accepted. He said they called him and they just decided that day that he got in. So I guess they have reviewed all people interviewed up until now.

OK, I'm breaking my silence now that my family heard first.
I'm in and super excited about it!!!!

Yay! Congrats!

As a general question people that have got in when did you interview?

I interviewed 11/28.

I interviewed 11/28.

So you interviewed and got accepted a few days later? Thats pretty awesome. did you hear Dec. 1?

Anyone else switch from offer made to recieved/under review?

Anyone else switch from offer made to recieved/under review?

Did your status change from offer made to received/under review? That would suck :-( I wonder what it means...they took the offer back?!?

Anyone else switch from offer made to recieved/under review?

Mine changed from "Invited for Interview" back to "Received/Under Review"

Mine still says invited for interview. Maybe that's a good sing that you are still in contention if it went from "invited for interview" to "under review"...

did you hear Dec. 1?

Yes...it was unexpected. I'm grateful and very lucky.

So you interviewed and got accepted a few days later? Thats pretty awesome. did you hear Dec. 1?

I interviewed on Monday (the 5th), and the associate deans told us the earliest we'd know is this Thursday; another girl at the interview said a friend of her's, also get accepted only a few days after interview. So I guess it's fairly standard practice for them.

But for those who are anxiously waiting, there may also be deviations from standard practice so don't despair. I've talked to a person who did not get called right of way so there's hope.:xf:

I didn't mean to imply fast notification was the norm, just that it isn't unusual. Sorry if that may have bothered anyone waiting.

To piggyback on what winnie bear said, I don't remember if this was said to us at our interview or on their site or something, but remember they gave out 80 or so acceptances (for 63 seats) last cycle, which means they definitely give out quite a few acceptances that aren't taken, and then those go on to others waiting to hear, even more reason to keep hope!

Anyone else switch from offer made to recieved/under review?

Anyone else have any experience or insight with this? It said offer made and now it says received under review

Anyone else have any experience or insight with this? It said offer made and now it says received under review

Did they call you and make an offer? If they did than you got in. If they did not call you yet, then maybe it was an error.

Hey congrats to all of you that got in! I just wanna give some hope to those waiting, you can see by my predents my interview and acceptance dates...that's right, I interviewed on the first day of the cycle, September 20, 2010, and was accepted March 15, 2011! Keep your heads up and think positive...hope to see you all next year!

Anyone else have any experience or insight with this? It said offer made and now it says received under review

Are any of you doing the RIDE program?
Do you know how many students each year do RIDE?

Thanks!

They accept 8 students per year to the RIDE program, and 55 to the Seattle program.

Total of 8, I think.

There are 8 RIDE students accepted per year. I am not one, but maybe one will answer.

Thanks!

I applied for it, still waiting to hear back post-interview. I actually didn't know I was eligible until I interviewed (had to update/revise my app with Kathy once I got home), because their previous policy was only WA residents could participate, but now it's open to all.

I believe 8 students are selected for RIDE, though I could be wrong.

8 RIDE, 55 Seattle...100% positive

Are any of you doing the RIDE program?
Do you know how many students each year do RIDE?

Thanks!

8 do RIDE, I have a friend that got accepted Dec. 1 and he said he got accepted to RIDE as well. So he is doing RIDE.

63 students are admitted each year to the class. 8 are selected from this group for the RIDE program. There often are more than 8 that show interest in this program so this could be a selction proces also . On your app, it absolutely does not make any difference if you show Ride as a preference for your chances of getting an interview

I think it's been established that 8 people get into the Ride Program.

Just got a call from Kathy! Accepted! Is there a Facebook group?

Thanks! I interviewed on the 2nd day of Interviews on Oct. 17th.

Congrats!!! The adcom met today, that explains the phone call. I wonder how many spolefts filled and if anybody is going to turn down their acceptance. I can only hope. Lol

I just had my interview today. I loved the new set up, but I hope that I had more time. Thank you all for all the advice and tips. I hope to join you all next year.

The RIDE program has been 8 people each of the first four years and is said to be increasing in size in the near future. I think it is still 8 this year, not sure though.

Good luck! I hope you get in!! :thumbup:

Did you guys pay your deposit? I was denied

I am wondering how many students they already accepted. I am still waiting...my AADSAD status still says invited for interview. Kathy told me that I should hear back after the holidays, I am super anxious!!! What does this mean anyways? They didn't reject nor accept me...it makes me curious to where I stand. I have been waiting and waiting, and my head is going to explode LOL. I will just have to wait some more!!!

The adcom will meet on mid January (13th or 14th) and will send acceptance to 4 applicants. They filled exactly half of the class.

Hey, did they give you this info at your interview or something, it's amazingly specific. :)

Yes. They were very upfront about giving specific information that day. I guess they didn't like the fake news and/or gosssips on SDN.

Only 4?

That is what we were told. I could be wrong, but I think they are trying to make sure that they have spots left for future interviews till the end of the cycle.

Wow, I guess they have their system down then lol

I applied to RIDE as well as the Seattle campus program. Funny the RIDE page doesn't explicitly state the number of spaces available, though I understand that UW continues to increase the number each year.
I am hoping to get picked for RIDE for the great experience of working in community clinics, though the job outlook in Spokane is pretty grim. (My spouse will be supporting us through my dental education - not an inconsiderable issue.)

I am in guys. Can't wait to meet my future classmates.

I am in guys. Can't wait to meet my future classmates.

AWESOME! Way to go man! Feels good I'm sure :) :thumbup:

Thanks man. Yesterday was a combination of laughs and cries. It would have been so cool if you went here too.

Btw Gmoney, did you apply to RIDE as well? I wonder if they still have spots for that...

I didn't.

I am not sure, but I think 4 people are on the uw Facebook page that are ride students. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Anybody know the next time the Adcoms are meeting? Hopefully the weather doesn't interfere with their ability to meet.

My interview is scheduled for Feb 6th. Does anyone know how long you have to accept an offer once it is made this late in the process? A couple weeks, a month?

I got the call today! I am in! I called 2 weeks ago to ask about any news and she said they had none, because i was going to be putting a deposit down at UoP. Than today when she called she said "I talked to you a few weeks ago about a deposit somewhere else right? and she said sorry" 2 weeks to the day!

SO EXCITED!

Congrats. I bet you feel amazing right now.

They gave me two weeks, and the deposit is not due at the same time. They contact you later asking for money (250).

Hey Annamk,
I have an interview on Feb 6th. It is the last day of interviews.
wish you luck

How do you know its the last day of interviews? You meant at UW?

Kathy told me when I asked if I can reschedule.

Kathy told me when I asked if I can rescheduled.
How was your interview today? I guess we will be hearing from uw soon if today was the last day of interviews!

I got Accepted last night into the Trust program!! Class of 2012!

After a long depression I finally got the call :)

Congrats!!!

Thank you :)

Thank you :)

Hey!!!! Way to go! Thats so awesome! Congrats to you, I hope the best for your next 4 years ;)

Accepted yesterday (Kathy called) around 3pm Seattle time. So excited, but big decisions are ahead!

I was waitlisted. Anyone else on the same page? I just sent an e-mail asking about my position and how long the list is.

I was waitlisted. Anyone else on the same page? I just sent an e-mail asking about my position and how long the list is.

No idea, haven't heard anything at all. :confused:

How long is the list and where is your position on it?

I haven't heard anything either. Talked to Kathy last Monday, she said the committee was trying to finish making decisions last week. Maybe we will hear by the end of this week!

Sorry, not trying to make you guys panic or anything. Like kaye1der, when I spoke to Kathy a couple weeks ago I was told they were trying to make final decisions by mid-march, which would be now. They must be in the process of notifying.

By the way, Kahr, I believe we interviewed the same day, 12/5. You had the glasses correct? Hope we all hear good news...

EDIT: since people usually like to know how, my AADSAS portal status was changed to waitlisted last friday.

EDIT: since people usually like to know how, my AADSAS portal status was changed to waitlisted last friday.

Yes, I had glasses, I was also the only one from Hawaii there, so I'm sure that would narrow it down a fair bit. ;) I'm glad you at least got waitlisted, better than a rejection by far. I hope we hear some more news soon, I'm anxious to get this over with one way or the other.

Who were you by the way?

At least you guys received the news. I am still in the dark! Last year, as I heard from someone on the forum, the copy machine broke and couldn't get rejection letters out on time. I hope that's not the case!!!! I'm trying very hard to be optimistic but it's getting harder and harder everyday. I waited several months, I can wait for 2-3 more days!!! Cross fingers for all of you. UW is awesome and it will be such an honor to be a part of their dental school!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who were you by the way?

I thought the "asian" guy with spiked hair (I forgot his name...think it started with an S) was also from Hawaii. But I was one of the guys who happened to be interviewing with his friend, I was the one with the dark hair, I was initially sitting across from you when we first walked in talking to the other interviewee from Alabama? Or somewhere? I was in the second round of interviews.

:luck::xf: to all of us

Anyone heard anything?!?!

Nothing! :(

I called on Friday. Kathy said the committee was going to meet in two weeks and it was hopefully going to be the last time. So anyone waiting still (like me) will hear then. They have filled the class so any news now will either be wait list or a rejection.

Any Washington residents receive their site preference yet?

I've heard of the pre-matriculation program...but I don't know anything about it except that it exists. I haven't quite gotten any of my official paperwork, so maybe that's why I don't know anything about it. Could someone fill me in?

Hi, this is from an email from Memory Brock, the Pre-Mat program coordinator:

Just a reminder, if you are interested please drop me an email soon.
Memory Brock

Hello incoming School of Dentistry Students.

My name is Memory Brock and I am the Program Manager for the Office of Educational Partnerships and Diversity at the University of Washington School of Dentistry.
This letter is to tell you about our Pre-Matriculation Program (details below) which takes place this summer here at our school. I am hopeful you will look it over and consider attending.
Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions, and I look forward to meeting you in person soon.

Prematriculation (PreMat) Program

A Summer Enrichment Program for

Students Transitioning Into Medical And Dental School

Each summer, the Office of Educational Partnerships and Diversity in the School of Dentistry, and the Office of Multicultural Affairs in the School of Medicine sponsors a Prematriculation Program (PreMat) for entering medical and dental students from educationally or financially disadvantaged backgrounds. The goal of the program is to facilitate students’ transition to medical or dental school by providing academic and social support. PreMat is especially helpful to students who have been away from an intensive academic program, because it provides a preview of the medical and dental school environment and curriculum. The major course of study during the program is Histology. Students receive intensive histology instruction for five weeks and take a challenge exam at the end of the five weeks. Students who pass will receive credit for HuBio 510 (Histology) in the fall.

Program Activities & Schedule

Histology lectures are held daily in the morning; a lab with organized review and tutorial sessions are held Tuesday and Thursday in the early afternoon. Other activities include: sessions on study and test-taking skills, stress management; health disparities, service learning; and meetings with school deans, counselors curriculum managers, and current medical and dental students. There are occasional evening and weekend sessions.

Cost & Housing

There are no tuition costs to participate in the Prematriculation program. PreMat participants are responsible for required texts and their room and board while in Seattle.

Faculty

Histology instruction is given by faculty from the UW Departments of Biological Structure and Physiology. Second-year medical and dental students serve as teaching assistants and facilitate the lab and tutorial sessions.

Networking

As mentioned above, there are no tuition costs for participating in this program. In exchange, we expect that PreMat participants will network with the pre-med/pre-dental undergraduate and the high school students who are participating in our other summer enrichment programs - the Summer Medical/Dental Education Program (SMDEP) and the UDOC high school program. There will be scheduled networking sessions as well as a session with Dr. Acosta on good networking skills.

Program Dates

The 2012 Prematriculation Program will be held from June 18th through July 20th, 2012. Sessions will be held at the University of Washington Magnusson Health Sciences Center in Seattle. Attendance is required at all sessions. Participants should expect to spend six or more hours a day in sessions. We highly discourage students from being involved in employment or other outside activities during the five weeks of the program.

Eligibility

Students who have been accepted to the University Of Washington School Of Medicine or School of Dentistry, who come from economically and/or educationally disadvantaged backgrounds, or who have spent a significant time away from academic study, are encouraged to apply.

To Apply

Submit a letter of application by May 18th 2012. In your letter please: 1) state that you are interested in participating in the 2012 PreMat Program; 2) state how you would benefit from participating, 3) state what you feel you can contribute to your peers in the program, and 4) describe how you can contribute to networking with undergraduate and high school students who are interested in health care professions.

This sounds like a great opportunity. Is anyone planning on doing this?

Yes. I already sent my email/letter a week ago, since Memory wrote to "drop her an email soon" instead of waiting close to the May 18th due day. Good luck!
