Is MD Maryland ? And VCU didn't give me an interview the 2 previous cycles, and it's not looking good this cycle. They seem to be super picky

yeah, Md is maryland.
I don't know about VCU being picky, but I also heard UMD being very picky as well.
What was your stats like if you don't mind me asking?
Did it improve over the course of 2~3 years?

thx

nice grad GPA, that should really help you with your chances. I don't understand why no love from VCU, though.
Good luck to both of us.

(Opens email while jumping up at down thinking interview)

......that we now offer a DDS/MBA program.
DUDE I got the same thing today

"Dear Mr. Wildzodiac, we are pleased to inform you..."

*commence estatic dancing*

"That the University of Buffalo school of dentistry now offers a 5 year joint DDS/MBA degree program."

Don't get your hopes up too high. A lot of us who submitted early got that email in August, only to receive another email a couple weeks ago saying that our app still hasn't been reviewed. This process, as if you didn't know, is a huge test your patience. I'm still waiting on 13 schools....
