Thanks for the support. My app was mailed out on the 2nd of July. The interview invite was sent via email. I have to choose between the following dates and set an appointment via the phone:

Monday, November 2, 2015
Tuesday, November 3, 2015
Thursday, November 5, 2015
Monday, November 9, 2015
Tuesday, November 10, 2015

Just got invited for an interview at Tufts as well, although I don't think my dentist included my shadowing hours because I totally forgot Tufts required it. My shadowing with the writer was over a period of a year so there is no way he knows my exact hours. I think I read in an old thread that if you are accepted they give you a form to be signed by your dentist with proof of shadowing. Hopefully they relieves some of the stress you guys may be having about the shadowing hours in LOR. Anyways, good luck to you all!
 
Just got an email for an interview! My dentist also didn't put the shadowing hours in his LOR
 
Congrats to all you with invites! Best of luck!

Did all of your aadsas stats change from Received/Application Complete to Received/Under review before you received invites?

Thanks, mine never changed from received/under review.
 
I don't remember tbh unless you know of some way for me to check. I applied to a lot of schools and they all pretty much changed to received/under review from received/incomplete at the same time. None of my interview invites have changed to received/completed first. Just straight from received/under review to invited for interview.

Wait, so on mine it's said "received/application completed", does that mean my app is not even under review and prob not gonna hear anything from them soon?

Same! But from my experience at other schools, changing status means very little (unless it changes to "invited for interview" ;) ). I wouldn't worry about it

Mine was changed to received/ under review before I got the invite

Complete is pretty much the same as received and under review. Some schools just don't go the extra step to tell you it's under review
 
Hi everyone,

Current TUSDM student [first year]. Congratulations to all of you that have so far received interviews. For all others that are eagerly waiting, sit tight!

I used to lurk SDN during my pre-dental days. There is a lot of information on here, some of which may or may not be correct/current. I would like to try and be available to everyone on here as a resource and will try to get some of my other classmates to chime in soon.

For now, if you have questions or concerns, please feel free to PM me. I will do my best to get back to you shortly!


Best of luck!

Cyril

So I called the school about the "Application Complete" vs "Under Review", and the staff told me that they both mean the same thing: they have everything they need for the application to be complete.

If they follow last year's pattern, they'll send out another round of invited tomorrow. also they have a tufts admissions Facebook page to let you know when they send out invites

I got one today at 4:05pm, second batch so I think that means mailed out 7/2. The dates they gave were 11/16, 11/17, 11/19, and 11/23, and I've yet to pick.

I got switched to under review today! 6th batch.

what? my status said 'received/application complete' 3 weeks ago and I am 11th batch (mailed out 9/11/15).

or is under review the next step after application complete?
 
For anyone who has already interviewed, when you called did it go straight to voicemail? I have one interview date I REALLY want and when I call it goes straight to a pre-recorded message asking to leave two preference dates. If so, how long did it take for them to get back to you? Thanks!

I called right at 10:00 on the 7th like the email said and someone picked up for me right away

Mine updated to "Received/Under Review". It was previously "Received/Application Complete".

Called at 10:00 today, got a voicemail, and they emailed me within the hour confirming me for Nov 16th, my first choice.
 
Got an interview invite yesterday around 4pm and I will be attending the November 17th date. Please see my post history for stats.
 
So how many more interview dates do they have left? I'm assuming these were the last of the pre-december interviews?
 
There should be one or two I believe based on their Facebook page from last year.
 
Hey everyone, first time back on SDN in probably a year lol. Just trying to give you some insight as a first year at Tufts right now.
1. Don't stress the interview... at all. Just get a good night's sleep and enjoy the day. It was the most laid back interview I had out of all of my interviews last year. The older professor and I ended up talking about snow skiing most of the time with maybe one or two real questions about my application.
2. If anyone has any questions about Tufts in general feel free to message me any time. Good luck!

Regardless of their pre-Dec interviews, majority of their interviews and class filling is in Jan-mid Feb :)

Sorry the picture is so big, but try to find somewhere cheaper at the ends of the lines, further from downtown. The T is pretty easy to use and you won't have to deal with traffic.
