***Official University of Utah School of Dentistry Interview/Accept. Thread***

Any idea how many OOS applicants the Utes intend to take of the 20 that enroll this year?

I'm pretty sure they aren't taking any. I could be wrong, but that's what I gathered from meeting with the Dean of Admissions.
Thanks man. You just saved me some application money!
No worries, nothing here either. I think where they get so few applicants and only have 20 spots... they could literally do all of their interviews in November. haha. And where we're all from Utah, travel is irrelevant. I think their application complete email said they'll let us know in the fall. That's vague, I know, but I think we might have a bit to wait still...
I had an interview a couple weeks ago, but haven't heard anything since. I think they are done interviewing now.

Any news? Someone posted they got an email and accepted, but that's been deleted now.
Any news from anyone? Anything?
I called the University of Utah today and they said that they had sent out all of their invites on the 2nd.
Thoughts on what? The school itself and the program?
Who did you talk to when you called?
Just a receptionist/secretary.

I emailed Julie and she said they had a few more offers that they hoped to make by the end of the week.
I mean, if it's your state school and you're going to save 100k going there, it would be totally worth it. But that was definitely a concern of mine and some of the current students voiced that as well. They still don't know when they're going to take the boards, they don't have a DentSim lab like most top schools do, they don't have much set up as far as extra-mural service opportunities, no specialties to shadow etc. That said, I would still go there because I think there is a lot of potential and the new students can have more of a role in establishing these programs. Even though the dental school doesn't have much of a reputation, the university as a whole does, especially in the health fields. I don't doubt that it will be a great school when it is established. Combining the cost, the potential and the small class size makes it totally worth it in my book.
Oh, your sources are probably more reliable than mine then! (Plus I like that possibility more anyway!)
I also like that idea more
I hate to speculate, but I wonder why its taking them so long if they only have 20 spots to offer. I feel like it should be relatively easy compared to others schools
Is there a Facebook page??

Yeah I got that too. Talked to Julie Oiler. It means that if you are a qualified applicant they could invite you for an interview in case someone drops out. Apparently they had 120 in state applicants this year and a little over 600 out of state.
Mine still says "Received/Waiting Additional Information" since August 16th.
is there a 2016 thread yet? couldn't find it.
