Can anyone comment whether Cali Northstate got its accreditation? I know they didn't last year and were waiting on that but still seemed to admit students in Fall of 2021?

They have not received accreditation yet. They believe they will have full accreditation this Fall and so the class that is currently accepted is being told they will start classes around January 2022 instead of Fall 2021.

Thanks for the info. Are you a part of the accepted class?

schools dont receive accreditation until their first class graduates

wait, does that mean if something goes wrong in their program within the first 4 years, students in the program would be screwed and not be eligible to graduate?

Do you mind sharing your Casper score and when you took it?
 
Do you guys think it's too late in the cycle to apply to this school? Seems like it might be possible since it is newer. My GPA is 3.27 and DAT is 23.

That’s awesome! I am still waiting to hear back. During my interview I was told all interviewees should hear an update on Dec 1. Do you think it’s worthwhile to reach out? (E.g. Letter of Intent)

It depends on the school. Try to email admissions and ask if its appropriate to send in a letter of intent at this time.

I had an interview with them in November but my status still shows “invited for interview”! Is anyone experiencing the same thing? I have not heard back from them yet!

don’t worry I’m in the same boat as you! Interviewed early November and still says “invited for interview” on the portal!
 
Hello everyone, I am a Pre-December Interviewee but I was wondering how many others are Pre-December Interviewee's? From what I have seen on the other forum from last year, majority of them got accepted around March time but that was the inaugural class so I am not sure if that time frame would apply to us.

Does anyone know if they are still interviewing?

I believe so, some people are receiving "still interested" emails this is possibly because they may be in the process of deciding who else to send potential interview invites too. This is because many students who were offered seats at this time have most likely declined them and those schools are still potentially wanting to interview students and wanting to gauge from applicants if they are still interested in interviewing prior to sending out emails officially.

I see. But wasnt the "still interested" email automatically sent to everyone that hasnt received an interview offer?

I am not too sure if that was sent to everyone but I do know that some people after reply that they were still interested they got a email reply back saying that their application is currently being reviewed by the committee. My guess is that they probably had a lot of people decline their offers as a lot of schools have been sending out acceptances, and so with extra seats they are trying to interview people who are still interested in the school only because it would be a waste to do interviews to applicants that have acceptances to other schools and are not interested in CNU.
 
Did anyone else who interviewed Pre-December hear anything back? Or is there anyone that got acceptance not on decision day?

Good luck to everyone! With UCSF likely closing their dental school over the coming years, CNU CDM will be a critical dental institution for NorCal. I posted this in the Class of 2025 thread but feel like it deserves being posted here as well:

"Lots of misinformation on this thread. The US needs more medical and dental schools and CNU is going to be a strong name in NorCal for decades to come. My sister went to the Caribbean to get her MD and will be a Penn internal med residency grad with offers from Stanford and every other top Healthcare system in the world. I know lots of people in the inaugural CNU CDM class and while there are of course minor issues that pop up (as expected with any new dental school), the school is extremely professional and caring with renowned faculty."

Its the loan situation that makes it not a good idea to go there. Other than that im sure its a fine school just like any other
