Rejected via AADSAS today. Insane how they leave me in the dark for 6 months then reject me without the courtesy of an email. Apparently a 21 on the DAT doesn't mean much these days and putting 500 hours of assisting in their Ortho department didn't seem to mean much. Your loss VCU, I hope now I get accepted to NYU!

^ Same. Rejected without interview, or any sort of correspondence since I submitted my app in June. 22 DAT and 3.9 GPA. I was blessed enough to get accepted at the 4 schools I interviewed at, but still a little salty about getting no love from my number one choice and state school. :shrug:

Rejected via my AADSAS portal. Unprofessional that they don't even bother to send an email, or any type of correspondence for that matter ever since I submitted my app in June.

You can't apply for d5 to quote Dr. Gottlieb "d5 is for students they want to make sure can cut it academically but they really want them in their school". You take half the classes a D1 student takes so you are able to do very well without being overwhelmed. This it takes you an extra year to complete dental school (but I believe you have the option to catch back up if you perform well). If you get a C in any of your first year classes you are not allowed to continue however.

DentalSkool has it right. I forgot what classes they took last semester, but this semester D.5 take two classes (histology and physiology). You have to maintain a B in the courses you take in the fall and spring. The classes you take D.5 year transfer over when you're a D1 so you don't have to retake them, meaning your D1 courseload would lighter as well. In previous years, you had to reapply via AADSAS and redo the whole application process again but I was told they changed it this year. As long as you maintain a B, you're guaranteed a spot in the incoming D1 class. It might be an extra year, but if your heart is set on VCU, it's a good opportunity. You do have a lot of free time so you could pick up a job if you wanted.

I am not sure I was put on the list this past Monday 3/16 and I got accepted 3/19 :)
I think you have a good shot of being accepted if you are on the list

I am SO looking forward to July 28th!! YAAAYY!

Only one issue: I HATE MAROON. I look splotchy in red of any kind. NO ONE - I mean NO ONE -- LOOKS GOOD IN MAROON. (If you think you do, you are mistaken.) What can we do about this? Even traditional old olive drab scrubs would be better!
