Hopefully you're right I just like to plan in advance hahaIt's only the end of September, so yes. That's a no-brainer imo
Yeah its still early and they dont differentiate between OOS and residentsSooooo anyone think Rutgers is still dishing out interviews for OOS?
Really? The "official guide" says they do. But that thing has lied to me multiple times haha. Thank you!Yeah its still early and they dont differentiate between OOS and residents
I was at a presentaion by Dr. Chaviano and thats what she told us . good luckReally? The "official guide" says they do. But that thing has lied to me multiple times haha. Thank you!
If you haven't already you have to list Rutgers as one of the schools your DAT scores will be sent to. You do that by going on the ADA website and signing into your account and paying to have it sent to them. You have to do that for each school you apply to I'm pretty sure.Can anyone help me out? My app was "mailed out" today and I received an e-mail from Rutgers saying they want the $85.00 application fee mailed, but also it says this:
In order for your application package to be completed, we must receive your DAT scores through AADSAS. It is your responsibility to request and have AADSAS release the DAT scores as part of your record. Once all applications are reviewed, those selected for an interview will be notified via email.
^ Do you actually have to do something else for this part in order for them to get your DAT scores? Or were my DAT scores already mailed out with my application?
I really want to contact the admissions office in regards to my application status... But should i be patient and keep waiting??Hey everyone! I used to lurk on SDN a lot when I was applying and I found some information to be helpful so I figured I'd finally contribute. I'm a first year dental student at Rutgers so feel free to ask anything. We were told our class this year had the highest averages ever, with both the overall and science gpa averages being 3.6 and DAT AA and TS at 22 and 21.5. They've been interviewing pretty much every friday and they usually continue interviewing until around January-February..don't be discouraged if you haven't received an invite yet! Good luck!!
I know the waiting game can be difficult but I've heard from multiple people (including faculty) they don't like it when you contact them. Apparently they keep on record how often you call/email, and if you're calling every other day it does not work in your favor. If you call just to make sure they've received everything, that's not a problem..just don't go crazy.I really want to contact the admissions office in regards to my application status...

And it seems stats are continuing to climb each and every year! xP

Don't forget stats are just an average! After speaking with a couple of my classmates, there are quite a few people who were well below those numbers.
Hello! Thanks for offering some advice. I am interviewing next week and was wondering if as a student now there is anything you discovered that you wish you had known when going into the interview. Knowing what you know, how might have you tailored your questions to find out more? Thank you!!Hey everyone!

I went to the interview last week. It was very relaxing and I had a feeling they didn't put much weight towards the interview. Just my 2 pesos
Did you interview Oct 2nd? I was there. I felt the same way about the interview.
Can I ask what you mean by that?
I had asked if Evistor was in our interview group and thought the same - interview was chill and seemed to hold less weight.
Anyone else at Rutgers Oct 2?

Interview Nov 6! Does anyone know if it looks bad to try and change your interview date? That's literally the one day that is a problem for me, but I'll obviously figure it out if I need to!

- rutgers prides themselves on their clinical side
- stats for the class of 2019:
avg sci gpa - 3.6
avg ovr gpa - 3.7
avg DAT - 22

^ major increase from class of 2018

That's because you are NJ resident.
Do they only send out supplemental application to a few applicants or all?
I would do ANYTHING for an interview here. close to NY and not super expensive.

Thanks! Also, I read that it's recommended you get there way before the interview day actually starts? Why do people recommend getting there so early?
rutgers and tufts are harder than nova, but whats wrong with your stats? they're more than enough for nova, and rutgersShould I apply to Rutgers? I am a Texas resident. I have a 3.5 and 21aa 22 ts
I didn't apply to nova and tufts because I didn't meet the requirements. Now I am looking at more schools to add.
