Don't feel like that. The tide turns again in mid January.Nebraska and Kentucky rejected.
Iowa deferred.
Interviewed in Nov but no news from Colorado.
No post-Dec interviews so far. I'm getting nervous but feel kinda ready to reapply

If you want to go to school relatively close to your family and you know you're not going to move to NY, then why waste money?Got an interview invite from NYU but im already holding offers from UNLV and ASDOH. I'm from CA...should I skip out on this one?
I think so. But I'd feel weird saying no to an interview invite. I already put a deposit down on Temple, but I'd like to see what Tufts has to offer.Would you go to Temple over Tufts?
I'm on the same boat. I'm going to my interview because one of my best friends is a student at tufts. She loves it there, so I want to make sure I'm making the right choice at the end.I think so.

I had about the same GPA (My science was lower), about 2k hours in a lab, and completed my masters. So far I have had 5 interview invites and 1 rejection. Doing the masters will open doors.I'm still waiting on 11 schools. I got rejected from 6, interviewed at 1 and never heard back, and was placed on continuing review at 1. My gpa is totally the problem.. 2.96 science and 3.26 cum and 3.8 non science. I retook both orgo semesters. I don't know what to do next. My resume is great.. Lots of research/shadowing/volunteering. And I spent my gap year in a dental lab. Should I spend another gap year in the lab if i have to reapply or should I get a masters? Any advice is appreciated.
Also the only local SMP is at BU, so money is definitely an issue for me, otherwise I would've jumped into the masters instead of the lab.
Thank you. What school did you go to for the masters?I had about the same GPA (My science was lower), about 2k hours in a lab, and completed my masters. So far I have had 5 interview invites and 1 rejection. Doing the masters will open doors.
Colorado doesn't do the waitlist thing. I was told that if we didn't hear back on Dec 1st it means we're still in their "applicant pool" and they will continue to interview new people.Were you ever waitlisted?
Get a masters! My application sounds exactly like urs and last year after I didn't get in I did a one year masters and it made such a difference!! I had a poor GPA, okay DAT and killer extracurriculars ... The masters strengthened my application! I know it is expensive but such a great investment if u do well and reapply!I'm still waiting on 11 schools.

Where did you get your masters? So you were completing it while your second app was under review? Thank you for responding!!Get a masters!

The interesting thing is that some schools have preferences. So make sure you call the schools to see where they may would want you to go.Thank you so much
Some schools will not even review your app until you complete the Masters. However, from what I've seen, it's on a case by case thing.I know many people that have applied to dental school while doing their masters, this works best if applying to the dental school on campus (ie. same as your masters program). They typically just wait until first quarter/semester grades are up. But waiting until you are done with your masters will likely give you the best chance.
I completed mine this December and had 3 pre-december interviews. I got 2 more after graduation. However, I have a friend who submitted his unofficial transcript to a school and was then given an interview. I also know a few people who had interviews their first semester of doing their masters.Interesting. At my school I know 20+ of our students did the masters the year before. So I guess it is a school by school thing as you said. Talking to those kids they did the masters and then after december interviewed and got in based on the past semester's grades.
Yes! Then if you there is a school or two you are interested in you can even send them an official when it goes through. You will have to anyway after you get accepted to verify pre requisites.
But it would be a good idea to send unofficial transcripts.
Thanks. That's what I was thinking.
do you mean sending the unofficial transcript through email?
Just got rejection email from UDM
CongratsTwo weeks ago sent an application update to Louisville with course progress grades (hadn't taken finals yet) and additional volunteer hours, yesterday emailed them unofficial transcripts with this semester's grades, and today I got an INTERVIEW INVITE!!!!!!

Do the schools get notified about your academic update right away (as Tis submitted online) or does this happen only after Tis verified by aadsas?
I will turn down acceptances at NYU, Maryland and Rutgers with scholarship offers. I wish any of you get good news soon. I decided that I want to be a Gator Dentist
