I'd call and ask to talk about your application and what you could have done better. Your DAT scores are fantastic, but your GPA is low. However, I'm going to guess you have an upward trend.

Congrats to everyone so far!! One step closer, friends.
do you know if texas schools just send out a handful of interviews every Friday? It seems to be the trend.. I've seen only 7/18 and 7/25 invites. Didn't get one yet. :(

Seems that way, but then again it's only been 2 Fridays so it could be coincidence who knows...
Don't start to worry yet, it's not even August yet! Some people haven't even taken their DAT or submitted their app.
Live your life and then be pleasantly surprised and relieved when you do get that email. :)

Thanks! You're right, I should put the phone down and stop checking my email every 10 mins. Haha.
Congrats on your interviews and best of luck!

None of the 11 schools I applied to have given out any interviews yet. Congrats to everyone who is getting interviews. Hopefully I get at least one early interview. Cause this waiting stuff is stressful.

I applied to 9 schools. I pretty much applied all over, mostly to the schools that really interested me and matched my stats.


So far nor than 50% of schools want to see you.

Your calculations are accurate

I don't mean to spam this thread so before everyone gets all worked up, please know that I'm waiting on interviews too.

I've started an Oral Healthcare charity biking event, Tour de Teeth, and we just published our website today. We're biking Europe next summer to raise money for Oral Health America. Our charity website is www.tourdeteeth.com. Please check it out if you might be interested.

Do you think I should email the school's I have applied, to send them the website address? Would that be a good thing to send in as an update to my application?
