Got the acceptance email/phone call this morning!!!
Congrats! What was the date of your interview?Not accepted yet but I got an email saying my app was still under review :/ Got in other places though
Sweet. Ive been accepted somewhere else but still really hoping for ECU!Haven't been on here in so long but to those of you who have not interviewed or have interviewed and haven't gotten in, there is plenty of time left. I am a D1 now at ECU and was accepted post December so hang in there. If you have any questions, feel free to message me. Good luck to everyone, those who have gotten in, really utilize your time wisely between now and the start of school and have some fun!
I interviewed on October 27th. But finally accepted to ECU SoDM on dec 18th!! When was yours? Did you get in anywhere else??Congrats! What was the date of your interview?

Anyone know when the next big batch of acceptances will be given out? I heard it was at the end of January? Correct me if I am wrong.
I have a slight suspicion that they just wait longer to take action in the application process because they know that some of their most qualified candidates will choose UNC.
UNC has a wonderful dental school with top notch students. However, ECU doesn't speculate on where they think candidates will choose. It's easy to fall into this mindset, but I can tell you with certainty that it isn't a position that the school takes. We choose the most qualified students who will fill our mission statement. Some students will choose UNC, and that's perfectly fine. You really need to check out both schools to see which one is right for you. Many of my classmates were accepted into both, but chose ECU for a number of reasons.
Making assumptions about ECU based on a superiority complex is petty, and will not help you sleep at night IF you don't get into either school.
I did not mean for my comments to demean ECU AT ALL. I would be absolutely honored to go there and have heard amazing things. It's a simple fact that schools compete for the best candidates (like we compete for the best schools) and that ANY newer school will have slightly less power to draw students than an established one, especially one with the research funding UNC is able to generate. I've seen your school's average NBDE scores and they are exceptional.
Don't stress, I know what you're trying to say. I just want to reiterate that it's not a competition against one school. We want the most qualified students that will help fulfill our mission.
That being said, when you interview don't come in with preconceived notions about how our school feels about you. There no such thing as too qualified, and if you're interviewing then you are obviously qualified enough to be considered. Go into it with that mindset, be yourself, and all of you will do great.
*If anyone is stressing out and wants to ask me, or my classmate PMON, any questions please do! Were just starting to get into the fun stuff of dental school and we'd be happy to help advise you in any way!*
They said they interview into February!Is ECU still interviewing? I have decent stats for that school and haven't had an interview or heard a thing.
any new acceptances??
I did as well. What does this mean?Anyone else get the continued interested email yesterday?
I received an email last week asking if I want to remain an active applicant and how my "professional aspirations" are in line with the missions and values of ECU. Is this the same one you guys got? I sent a long reply that I hoped was thoughtful, but have not heard a response. Please give me a chance ECU.I did as well. What does this mean?

Yeah I got the continued interest e-mail too. I think ECU is just asking us if we are still interested in pursuing admissions there so that they have a more narrow pool of applications to work with and can discard all the people who aren't interested.I received the email yesterday. The email that I got only asked if I am still interested in the school and if I am I needed to just reply with an email stating that I am still interested. Seems like you got a completely different email than what I got.
Anybody know when we might be hearing some news? They say they are on a rolling admissions, but this thread hasn't heard any good news in a while.
I interviewed last month, so I didn't get the continued interest email.DentalFarkles, did you get a chance to interview sometime at ECU and/or get the continued interest email from them last week?
really? i know someone who interviewed last month as well and he also got an continued interest email.I interviewed last month, so I didn't get the continued interest email.
I interviewed on the 26th, so I guess they figured that I was interested when I showed up. Haha.really? i know someone who interviewed last month as well and he also got an continued interest email.
that makes more sense lol I thought you were referring to an earlier dateI interviewed on the 26th, so I guess they figured that I was interested when I showed up. Haha.
no news hereany news??!!!
Thanks for the update!We were told yesterday (2/9 interview) that they had one more batch, 2/11, then would be meeting and try to have the class filled by the 3rd week of February.
Sorry to hear that. Was it by email or snail mail?BRUH...... Just reject me so I can GTFO...

They do not let us know when they are meeting for making decisions like that, I am sorry. They have a very strict policy and protocol they follow and I am not even sure the D3's that interview applicants know when they meet to make decisions.Thanks! Do you know when they're supposed to meet?
