I actually didn't contact a recruiter until early November - got screwed over by Navy. The deadline was late December and my packet was submitted before then BUT I had a prior surgery that needed to be reviewed by MEPS. So I basically had to get a waiver from someone pretty high up to allow my packet to be submitted without the medical exam.
Recruiter stopped answering my emails and calls. Not the organization itself.
To my knowledge that has lessened but I cannot speak from personal experience at this time
I actually was invited to interview on December 10th or so and had my interview in late January. I heard back that week.
Mid July. I had good stats so I was surprised it took that long. From what I've heard, they don't give out early invites to people who are way above their averages.
Use them to buy me free lunches.
I can tell you that our gpa was around a 3.3, BCP was slightly lower, and DAT was a 19. We got tons of stats on this during orientation. I unfortunately do not have the specifics handy.
Many were BU undergrads or did BU's OHS masters program to help gain admittance. Many though had no connection at all.
Roughly 33% of grads specialize out of here per class, from what I've heard. If you really want to specialize, you need to go to an elite school. A friend told me that 34/35 of their grads specialized. To specialize, need to perform well. It's easier at the elite schools because it's pass/fail. It all comes down to h0w much time you put in/how much time you need to excel.
Intense, but probably no different than any other dental school. I am in class at least 7 hours per day, then have to study beyond that; basically all I do is study. We have 2 exams this week and another exam in a week. I think there's ~150 in the first two years.
Just try to relax, it's pretty informal. They'll want to get to know you and your interests. Not confrontational at all.
Yes. If you get an interview at Temple, it's pretty different from most other schools.
Don't worry @Scumbag_Steve we liked your humor. The person'a probaby just mad they didn't get into UConn

I keep it neat, not messy. Cough cough
Was sizable chunk, under 50%. They consider everyone for scholarships. I was awarded the scholarship at the same time my acceptance was sent.
Only way we're getting those is being a tour guide
Best
I can't really speak to that. I have no complaints and everyone that I've met has been really happy here. I think everyone here wants you to succeed and it shows. I haven't seen any negatives (YET), except that they're about to do a total redo of the school and we are all gonna miss it.
