Rejected by Temple today via email w/o interview.....couldn't care less.
 
I got WL at my 1st choice - state school a couple of weeks ago. They said they expect some movement around April 1st. No news yet, which i'll take as good news :)

A lot of people suggest that if you get WL to continue to express your interest to the school.
However the week before I got WL, I did that and gave an update on what I'm doing.

I don't know if I should reach out again or not.
I don't want to be annoying and overkill it, and I don't really know what else I would say, BUT at the same time I don't want the adcom to think I'm chillin and that this isn't my 1st choice school.

What do you guys think?

(can you tell I'm overthinking this??)

Thank goodness i just started binge watching The Walking Dead to keep me somewhat distracted....

If you have an acceptance already I would say go for it and try reaching out again. Maybe saying that you have an acceptance elsewhere but if accepted off the wait list you'd withdraw from that school? Either way it's been a couple weeks so I'd contact them again. After all I don't think it can really hurt you at this point especially if you're already accepted somewhere.

Hi guys! Hopefully there is movement this week for those of us waiting now that we have passed April 5th!
I was wondering if anyone knows if ALL dental schools contact accepted students who have multiple deposits to tell them to decide on a school within 15 days/or ALL dental schools assume applicants read the "trafficking rules" and can rescind acceptances in 15 days?
OR if some schools don't contact those with multiple deposits and give them their lovely time to decide on a school?

For a seat. How's your cycle going
Click to expand...
They wait listed me in January and I haven't heard from them since, other than the confirmation to remain on the wait list a few weeks ago. That was my only interview out of 18 schools so I'll be reapplying. Congrats on the offer:)
 
Haven't posted on here in awhile but have been lurking this whole cycle and can finally contribute my results :)

Don't lose hope! I'm proof that the whole mediocre stats+good volunteering/ECs can still get acceptances. It's not just a numbers game. Also I found that my pre-Dec interviews seemed tougher to gain a seat/didn't have much luck getting an admittance even though my interview went similar to my post-Dec ones. For some reason, I feel like the post-Dec interviews were easier to gain admittance or maybe they're trying to fill seats? I think they just expect more earlier on in the cycle and are tougher with their criticisms and wait list a lot of people. Later on, they want to fill seats and would rather do that with new interviewees than wait listers maybe? Idk, that's just speculation but something that I found interesting.

Interviews: LECOM and ASDOH in October. Howard in February and Midwestern-IL in March.
Rejected: ASDOH in March
Waitlisted: LECOM since December
Accepted: Howard and Midwestern-IL
Attending: Midwestern-IL
GPA: 3.42 (science), 3.55 (overall)
DAT: 19 AA 18 TS

Good luck everyone and congrats to those accepted!

Has anyone received a REJECTION from UCLA? Or do they simply keep silent as their manner of rejecting you?

I think the rejections will slowly surface as we are getting closer to the end of the cycle. Haven't heard from em since June 2014

Generally, thats all you can really do. Send update.

But usually add in a couple of lines of "im still interested in hearing back" is pretty helpful.

I personally went to the admissions office to make sure they received everything and express my interest and was accepted the next morning.

Id advise against doing it too often though as it might get annoying.

Hope this helps.

Some schools have been pumping out rejections since August '14. But Im starting to get rejections from schools that have been silent this whole cycle.

What else did you have with your application? A reasonable GPA and a good DAT is nice, but it's not the only thing they consider. Maybe people can offer suggestions for improving your app for next cycle if you list what you had for shadowing, volunteer work, EC's, etc. Also, when did you apply?
