for those that haven't gotten interviews next and are taking the DAT again when are you planning on starting to study
Hey my friend was thinking about applying here. Can I ask what are your reasons for having this school as your top choice?
Yeah! For one, two grandparents and both of my parents went there (and met there), plus my brother is a freshman in their engineering program. So Michigan has run in my family for awhile, my dad was actually a cheerleader there and I have fond memories from childhood of going to UM for the homecoming games every year.
More importantly, I attended their ASDA pre-dental bootcamp and was absolutely blown away. Their professors are incredible researchers and educators and the students embody the "work hard/play hard" attitude I live by. Michigan is one of the top dental schools in the country and visiting it firsthand was one of my favorite dental experiences.
Finally, I want to go into dentistry to work in non-profit clinics for underserved areas (hopefully for the rest of my life). Michigan has a specialized pathways program (clinical/research/leadership) and the leadership pathway is something I think will prepare me really well for what I want to do, especially because I will be applying for the National Health Service Corps

lol turned mine down too, great school but I don't have that kind of $$$ for what they want in tuition/living cost.

Sorry, you're talking about cost, but didn't you attend an interview at NYU recently....?
Yeah I was already in NYV for another interview so it made sense for that one

?? a high DAT score doesn't guarantee an admission, isn't it smarter to go to all possible interviews and turn down an acceptance?Applied before I took my DAT
Ah, I see. Does that mean you'll turn down your acceptance at NYU if you get into another school?

Well maybe I should have added that I can't afford the flight and hotel, but I thought I'd give some positive news for all the neurotic SDNers. Tufts is a good school.
I try.You're a gentleman and a scholar.
Unless you've sabotaged all 6 prior interviews then go.... if not then I suggest declining NYU. Also, that opens a slot for meI will have to spend around $600 for my NYU interview, not including meals and transportation within NYC. Crazy. I don't think I'll attend this school, of course unless it's my only acceptance. I'm already exhausted from my 6 interviews within the last few months, so I am wondering if I should just call it good and decline in order to get some rest before Dec 1st? Can you give me some advice?
Yeah this is why I declined Tufts. The trip would be so expensive, and I'm already tired of traveling. I'd decline it if I were you. Six other interviews should be enough for at least one acceptance.I will have to spend around $600 for my NYU interview, not including meals and transportation within NYC. Crazy.

I am very fortunate to not only have a pre-December interview, but also have it at my top choice. I hope December is good to all of us.All it takes is one though
Hey @Viva Terlingua is right at the end of the day though! Haha don't worry the best part is it's at your top choice. My first one is at my top choice but I wish I got one before that to practice and get a hang of things. Lol but it's meant to be this way so let's do it!I am very fortunate to not only have a pre-December interview, but also have it at my top choice. I hope December is good to all of us.

For those invited for an interview at LECOM, what was their method of notification? Thanks!
Alright cool. Was there a change on your LECOM portal? (under admissions status what does it say?) Thanks!
Yeah, the change was also on portal and it said something like "Congratulations! you've been invited to interview."Alright cool. Was there a change on your LECOM portal? (under admissions status what does it say?) Thanks!
