Call them. I heard that's a typo. We all have fall grades lol. Are any of the other two situations(DAT or letter) applicable to you though? If not, then give them a call.

Nope. I have finished everything else. Hopefully it's just a mistake on their end.

 

[nebuchadnezzar90]

Just got my first waitlisted this morning from here. It hurts. Finished the supplemental on the 15th.

 

[mar51078]

Has anyone heard from Midwestern - Illinois? Do they just take longer than Arizona?

I got an interview today too! As I log in to my portal to schedule my interview, I can only find 4 options: 2 Tuesdays and 2 Thursdays of October. So does MWU only do interviews on Tuesdays and Thursdays, or is it because all other days are full so I can't see them?

Probably the latter because when I scheduled there was 1 Monday option

Yeah Monday was available this AM now it isn't. I'm kinda worried because these days don't really work for me since I work full-time as a DA. Hopefully my boss understands.

Sick days. I worked full time as a teacher last year and couldn't tell anyone that I was even applying, yet alone interviewing. Crazy how often I got food poisoning...

 

[htdt]

What I like most about the school is how quick they are with processing applications. I submitted my supp on Sunday, 7/17 and got an interview invite Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning.

Also I am wondering if I'll have enough time to catch my flight if it leaves at 5:20? The email says that the day should conclude no later than 4:30 pm, but can I ask to be interviewed early so I can leave by 2:30 or 3pm at the latest?

If they follow the same format as last year, everyone interviews in the morning. The later part of the afternoon is the tour. It's kind of hard to break off from the tour because you take a bus over to the clinical side of things from where you all interview and keep your belongings. [removed]

EDIT: Just kidding! Just looked up my old boarding pass. My flight was at 4:05pm. A 5:30pm flight should be no issue then

Second Interview!! October 11th!

 

[htdt]

Any female who is interviewing on Oct 18 wants to split a room with me? I found a place on AirBnb that is less than 5 min from MWU campus.

Thank you for the encouragement. I only got 1 interview and it's the end of July already. this waiting game is killing me

 

[toothfairy107]

If that's the case then I guess I'm just very unlucky. Good luck with your interview

I will be interviewing on the 12th! Super excited..

If anyone decides to interview same day let me know and we can split a hotel room...

Hi how long did it take you to receive the interview notice they received your completed application?

 

[BTR1208]

Anybody interviewing on 9/12 that wants to split a room on the 11th?

 

[endlesswait]

I have RC 18 and I got invited for an interview :O

Thanks! I hope you can also get invitation from them soon! Good luck!

Interview for the (edit) 18 of Oct!

Non-trad student so my stats only say so much:
oGPA: 3.16 / sGPA: 3.71 / BCP GPA: 3.75 / 20AA, 20TS, 21PAT, 25RC.
Experience as dental assistant.

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone... It's always great knowing whether we will be accepted or not, we can occasionally be in large groups of like minded people to remind us we're not alone in feeling crazy with our endeavors.

 

[redhotchiligochu]

Hard rejection email a few days ago. I think I know why. Also, I got an interview invite from a different school. In any case, good luck to you all!

 

[Dental24/7]

Rejection email: 7/2/2016
Application complete: 6/30/2016
oGPA: 3.37, sGPA: 3.23, BCP: 3.14
DAT: 22AA, 24 TS, 18 PAT

Why so fast?

 

[redhotchiligochu]

Why so fast?

I'm glad they reject us earlier rather than stringing us along for a ride and giving us false hope.

@JUSTaDentist I have very similar sGPA and BCP as yours. I personally emailed MWU-AZ, they are particularly strict about having much higher science and BCP GPA. They told me that personally in my case, the rest of my application was strong and they liked my PS and EC's but they were worried about my lackluster academic science grades. They were very nice about it.

 

[kristeekins]

I sent out my apps 6/30, they received it 7/15, and I sent out my supps 7/30. They rejected me on 8/5.

I have the same stats as @JUSTaDentist except my TS is a little lower and PAT is a 23. I don't know what I did wrong to get rejected, and I retook my DAT in mid July. Did they look at my old DAT score and instantly rejected me before my new one came in?
Is August late for submitting supplementals?

I just received an invite to interview this morning, and the only choice that was there was November 8th. Isn't it weird that Sept/Oct are already full? Is that what it means if there was only one choice?

Yup, sounds like Sep and Oct are full.

Meaning, you have to have a much higher sGPA than what she posted? So they want someone with a sGPA of 3.5 and above?
