2005 - What did you receive today?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I got a secondary application from Nova. I also got letter from UoP telling me I better send them the application fee or there is no way in hell they are going to let me into their school. Is all the correspondence from dental schools this demanding and threatening?
 
Hey EDkNarf,
When are we going to get some more transcripts of conversations with your dad? I like those.

I have confirmation from schools that they have my AADSAS, but I have not received anything from AADSAS yet. How long did it take you guys to get confirmation from AADSAS?


That took about 2 months.

NOTHING except application fee receipts from some schools and confirmation e-mail ( I asked them first)

called AADSAS and they said mine would be sent out next week
I submitted on June 5th, 2004
 
6/28 i got interview from case
6/28 i got a letter from uop that i can check the status of my application from october.
 
Anyone got CASE interview on 8/16? - Mine is.
 
just scheduled my case interview :clap: i made mine for the second week that they are offering interviews. i wonder how many people they interview per day? does everyone start their interviews at 9am?
 
Ohio State reviewing my file (I checked by phone), maybe an interview invitation in the coming weeks. This is my 1st choice since am an OH resident.
 
mwsung,

patience my friend patience.

its waaaaaaay too early to be anxious and worried about those things. save it for nove and dec, because you'll be doing that then. LOL

btw, if anyone is applying to iusd, i think they start reviewing apps sometime in mid july and send out interview invitations in aug. i got mine on aug 11 last year and believe was the 1st group to be interviewed.
 
Dr. Taco!

When did you submit your application to AADSAS? - I haven't heard anything from Nova yet, although AADSAS sent my application out last week.

Like your VW logo by the way... German Connection. 😉

yes you should be. :laugh:

just kidding Kim. there is nothing to be scared of. just study about the school and gather as much info as you could from their website. checkout the interview feedback section of sdn and then go and do your interview. be yourself and you'll be fine.

good luck
 
An email from Nova, acknowledgment of receipt from AADSAS. Expecting a secondary soon.

yeah in about 3 days you will have secondary. I have nothing from AADSAS yet 🙁 , but my nova secondary is on the way back to nova 😀

Too bad i'm still 1/3 for LOR
And DAT scores aren't at schools yet 😱

I havent heard from AADSAS yet either, but my DAT scores are on their way, and should get there by the end of this week.

How many LORs does Nova require?
 
DrTacoElf said:
Did you only submit 1/3?

I only submitted 2/3, and one is pending with my Dentist. Can they review an application with only some LORs?
 
How long does it generally take for your info to be sent out? I'm #445 and according to info source, adea.org has only sent out my LOR... and i haven't received anything from them by mail conf. wise. Is this standard and I just need to wait another week or so?

--Also, is it possible to get an interview w/out DAT scores? And for the people who are applying to 10 schools or so, if you get interviews at all the schools... do you end up declining some? Do you go to all of them? I just know that it could cost a fortune in plane tickets... so i'm wondering what people do. Or maybe getting 5+ interview invites is unheard of? 🙂
 
I guess you can figure out how they trully viewed you as person, worthy of getting a letter of rec. Obviously its not on there to do list anytime soon if its been over a month, and you have reminded them twice. You hope they write you a good letter.

Yeah
 
I don't think your gonna have a promblem with getting into any dental school.

Even if you have half ass letters.
 
I know that my application will be sent out next week (confirmed)
and... when I log in to Infosource, it says "problem accessing your data... call system admin etc..." Why am I seeing this message?

Is it because there is some REAL problem?

or

I am not supposed to see anything this early...?

When did you guys start seeing your application info on infosource?
after applications were sent out or even before?

Thanks
 
Hey mwsung...When did you submit your aadsas application? I submitted mine June 6th, and I was wondering when my application will be sent out to my designated schools. Hopefully, I can get an idea after you let me know?

thanks

I originally applied to 12, but after doing well on the DAT, I'm only going to interview at 5. The rest I will just reject. I figure I'll end up spending close to $2000 to visit 5 schools, and that is a ton of dough. That would bring my total application expenses to around $4,000. Anymore money is too rich for my blood!

Hi.. I submitted mine June 5th
Try to call AADSAS, I was lucky enough to get through for the first time
and get confirmed that your will be sent out.

Good luck
 
Hi mwsung...I will do that! Since you were able to contact AADSAS directly, can you tell me how many mailings have been sent out? What is your AADSAS ID#, just out of curiosity?

I also get the same message when logging onto Infosource, "problem accessing your data... call system admin etc."

Thanx

Yeah i wish they had been more upfront and just told me they weren't interested. :idea:
Why don't you ask them if you could write the letter yourself? They can read what you wrote, make changes if needed, and sign it. That's what I did. Many people are lazy or just don't know how to write such letters.

Received confirmation from NOVA that they got my official DAT scores and my secondary application.

I received confirmation from NOVA that they got my test scores (i'm assuming its the ones i faxed in). Just sent in my secondary 2 days ago (had to wait until payday for the $50 fee 🙁 ) anyway they should have that like tues or wed of next week i'm thinking.

:scared:

I guess this is an option but is really pitiful if i have to do this because when i asked these individuals they said they would be "glad" to 😡
 
Secondary from Nova + copy of my AADSAS application from ADEA (Cumalitive GPA -BCP: 3.3, Science: 3.4, Non-Science: 3.5).
 
Mo007, DrTacoElf, JavadiCavity, and all others applying to Nova...

Let us Nova people know when you get your interviews are so we can meet up because i know you all will get interviews. If you have any questions about the Nova application process i'm here to help. Good luck to all! 😀
 
DrTacoElf said:
Mo what was your aadsas #?
My AADSAS # is in high 300.

JRogoff: Thanks for the offer. I was wondering, I submitted 2 LORS from my science professors, and have 1 LOR pending from my Dentist, and everything else (Transcripts + DAT scores) have been submitted. Can Nova review my application and invite me for an interview?

Also, what is the Total Cost to attend Nova this year?

Thanks
 
I'll be very happy to meet you guys down there when you come for an interview. Just let us know when ...
 
Dr_Oh_DMD and JRogoff:

I'll keep you posted about the interview date, and if I have any questions I'll make sure to ask you guys.

I think they can most definetly give you an interview with one LOR missing. Keep in mind that they will interview with an incomplete file because they have until December 1st to start handing out acceptances.

The total cost of attendance is 52,891 in state, and 54,786 out of state. Yes, Nova is private, but there is still a discount for in-state students.(Don't ask me why) Those numbers include tuition + fees, Room and board, books and supplies, transportation, and miscellaneous expenses.

Keep us posted about interview dates and good luck to all again! 😀
 
Question -- do you have to receive something from AADSAS before they'll send out your application? Just making sure that's the case, as they haven't sent mine out yet and it's been over a month. Still haven't received anything either though.
