Congrats! I hope to hear from Howard too...

BTW, was your status on AADSAS updated?

I just checked this morning and my AADSAS status still says application under review. You'll hear from them, I'm sure. How are you preparing for your interview on the 23rd?

 

[1000watts]

Congratulations!! Do you mind sharing your stats / residency / when you applied?

Thanks...I'm a maryland resident. I got the email yesterday around 5-ish. I submitted my AADSAS app June 16th. This is the first I've heard from Howard since sending in the app fee.

I haven't done much preparing. I just bought a book on amazon about dental interviews. But that is about it. Have you been preparing?

 

[1000watts]

Not really. I have a few friends that are in their 2nd year @ Umaryland now and they sent me the questions that were asked to them.

Thanks guys best of luck to you as well. For those who are getting ready to interview, just a heads up on the format. I recently had my interview, and thankfully it went really well! i was super nervous. The interview is really relaxed, they just want to know about who you are- so relax and be yourself.

there was an essay, though not very difficult. my interview took about 25 -30 mins.

 

[CuteElephant]

Just got the interview invitation today, I am super excited! interview date: 10/29
my interview seems pretty long (almost 6 hrs), if the interview is about 30 min, then what do we do for other 5 hours? is it include lunch time? I know some schools have a lunch time with the dental students.

They e-mailed me on Sept. 23 saying my application will be reviewed, but I got my application fee returned in mail on Oct. 2nd because I paid with personal check. So I sent the money order back to school the next day, they should receive the application fee on Oct. 6, never got any e-mail saying my application fee had been received afterwards.

I too was at the Oct. 29th interview, what was your name? I hope you get it! Maybe we will be classmates.

 

[TH1RT3EN]

I'm from the area and go to Howard for undergrad.

If you're looking for the cheapest hotel, I would say Red Roof Inn in Lanham, MD is your best bet. I believe you can get a room around $65.

You can walk 5 mins down the block to the bus stop.
Take F13 Bus to New Carrollton Station. Bus trip is less than 10 mins.
Hop on the metro and get off at L'Enfant Plaza Station
Transfer to the Yellow or Green line headed to Greenbelt Station.
Get off at Shaw-Howard Station.Metro trip is around 30 mins.
Walk to the dental school. Takes 10 mins.

You mind if I ask when you received your interview invite? And congrats by the way!

 

[mds7]

I loved the school!! They were really friendly and they want to see you succeed. The interview wasn't too bad either. Just be yourself. I would definitely do a mock interview before going.

Thanks a lot for your advice! I was wondering what are your thoughts about the essay we have to write? What was it about?

 

[mds7]

I'm not sure what your essay topic would be. Everyone's might be different. But mine said what headline could I use to describe my life and why?

Hi everyone!

I am what you consider a late applicant, I submitted everything early October and just received an invitation for an interview for Nov. 21st!!! Any one else on here interview that day?? Has anyone been accepted yet? Also any advice and tips would be appreciated (I know, be yourself and be honest). Good luck to everyone, stay positive!

 

[kknguyen130130]

i submitted my appl around july but i havent hear anything back from them yet. Do you guys think i should call them to ask?

 

[mds7]

It never hurts to inquire. At this point, if they offered you an interview it would have to be in December or during the new year though.
