If these are your stats... and you haven't been accepted to those places yet... I'm worried for myself :O

I am also worried about myself too.

I had interviews at NYU and Western but I have only heard that they put me on the waitlist at NYU.

I would like to know what my chances are but I am clueless as there is no ranking on the waitlist.

Hey do you mind sharing what your EC's were, shadowing, volunteering hours, etc. I'm really surprised to see someone with your stats to not have any acceptances yet...

 

[tdkd1111]

I applied late August to: VCU, NYU, Maryland, Boston, Temple, Louisville, Tufts, and Creighton. Haven't heard ANYTHING from any schools :-( Should I be worried? Or would they have rejected me by now if they weren't considering me? Help...

I am not sure about the other schools, but I called Creighton back in late January and the lady said the class was full. They finished interviewing prior to Dec. 1st. Good luck to you!

Thanks! That's number 5 for me now. Definitely was not expecting this many. Very grateful.

Wow, congrats StumpMT! I've new to SDN, but I have seen your username all over the place! With all those interviews, have you heard back from anywhere yet? Wishing you the best of luck at your NYU interview.

Thanks!! I was rejected at LECOM, wait listed at Roseman and Louisville, and should hear back from Case in the next week or so. I'm sure if my stats were a little better those wait lists would be acceptances. Just gotta keep my head up!

Well, good luck! To be honest, I don't even know what LECOM is looking for. I was waitlisted and I am not bitter about it, just a little confused. I met someone there that interviewed the same day as me, I think they got waitlisted as well and ended up getting into CU, UPenn, and BU! I guess no one will ever really know what each school is specifically looking for. Good luck again, hope to hear some good news from you soon!

Good luck, I really liked it there and the interview was pretty relaxed.

After 3 Waitlists and 1 Re-evaluation, I got an acceptance at SIUe. Could someone PM me the facebook 2019 group if it exists?

 

[Wolfpack1488]

Have not posted yet, but I found this thread to be super helpful, hope this helps some of you!

Interviews: Nova, Penn, Temple, Case Western, BU, Tufts, NYU (interviewed from October - March)
Waitlist: Nova
Denied: Harvard, Columbia, UConn, UNC
Accepted: Tufts!

Withdrew interview at NYU and my spot on the waitlist at Nova. Still waiting to hear back from all the others, but I will be matriculating at Tufts this fall for sure!

To all those waiting to hear back - don't give up! April is right around the corner and there will be spots that open up. Just demonstrate your interest and keep sending those updates! Best of luck to everyone!

Cheers!

 

[DDS?]

I keep hearing that spots open up in April. Why is this? Thanks!

 

[krdeuce]

I keep hearing that spots open up in April. Why is this? Thanks!

Final deposits are due and you can only put one

 

[ICUrunning]

I keep hearing that spots open up in April. Why is this? Thanks!

April 1 is when schools know which students are holding onto multiple seats. These schools then urge those students to quickly decide on which school to matriculate to and to give up the rest.

These schools then urge those students to quickly decide on which school to matriculate to and to give up the rest.

And if the sudent doesn't...the schools may do it for them....and all seats are lost...

 

[WalkHolliday]

When did you decline the offer for buffalo?

Early January

 

[Dent_Dent]

I have put down deposit for one school. Once April 1st arrives, does it mean the other schools I interviewed at won't offer me acceptance since they saw I was accepted to a dental school ?

No, it is for people holding multiple deposits.

 

[Calan]

I would start emailing them. I emailed boston and got an interview a few days later. I've heard the same for many people with NYU.

I was thinking of emailing Boston, but wasn't sure what to say. Did you just update them on what you've been doing and say that you were still interested in hearing from them?

Pretty much

I did that a few weeks ago and got a basic response that they would update my file then I asked if they were still sending invites out and the response back was, yes a few. Not much of a warm and fuzzy coming from them. Boston is too cold for me anyway!

By last day, do you mean in February?

And yeah, ECU filled their class months ago.

Did they give you any type of answer as to when you would hear back? I interviewed 2/27 and they didn't tell us if it would be days, months, or weeks and now I'm getting anxious.

[ShootItLizbef]

Rejected from NYU without interview. I've never had such bad self esteem in my entire life.

Rejection number 11.

 

[hopefultrojandds]

Honestly at this point, its pretty much a terrible chance of obtaining an interview right?

hey twin

Hang in there!

For those that have applied before and are on another try, did any of you re-apply because maybe you only got into one school, but it ended up not being your favorite?

Official Interview/Acceptance/Rejection Thread 2014-2015

 

[teethnkl]

Anyone with more than one deposit down? How do we go about declining one of the acceptances if we have made our decision? Phone call? Email? I couldn't find any info and the school's site.

I'd call if I was in your shoes seems more professional to me.

 

[joiedevivre86]

I emailed and said I was very thankful for the offer and had a nice time interviewing there but unfortunately I was going with another school. I then asked to receive a response confirming my name was withdrawn from the class list so I was not penalized for holding more than one spot. I think either calling or emailing is fine, up to you.

 

[rm3042]

Just scheduled my interview and booked my flight for NYU! I'll be there March 16th aaaaand I CAN'T WAIT!!

I'll be interviewing the same day at NYU

I think it depends on the school - some schools do all of their correspondance over email - even sending out their acceptances - so it would be acceptable to email them to say that you have decided on another school. However, if the school has communicated with you via phone, I think it would be most appropriate to call.

 

[JJung]

status update...

waitlisted at NYU and Western.

Got a mail from Western today.

God help me get in somewhere!
