For those of you accepted to SA, all we have to do so far is return the letter of intent form, right? Has there been deposit or anything yet? I accepted the offer, but I am still hoping for Houston. Also, where do we send our Fall 2008 grades? To TMDSAS? Or to each school??
 
Anyone who interviews at Houston or Baylor, post up what you hear about the second round!

I've heard it's all Feb 1st...

Anyone out there have an interview at Houston in Jan? Just curious to know how many of us are out there? I have one email stating "we will have a few interviews in Jan." Initially, I did not read into it, but looking at the email again, I have a feeling those who interviewed and will interview in Jan will fall after the 2nd round of acceptances. So, anyone out there that did interview in Jan already your impression would be appreciated!

Several reasons, some of which are personal and wont apply to everyone, but here they are nonetheless. 1) A lasting impression (from the interview) of enthusiastic and kind professors. 2) The students appeared relaxed, yet motivated, and they seemed genuinely interested in meeting me. 3) I'm from Houston 😉. 4) I don't have to cast a million crowns (cough, cough Baylor). 5) Houston's Medical center is par none, lending to several research opportunities and a great learning environment. 6) Houston is a wonderful city and where I think I'd like to practice. 7) The passing rates on the boards are excellent along with their attrition rate.

Hope that helps and good luck deciding!
 
GreenWave, you were in my Houston interview group. Glad you liked the place as much as I did!

Oh snap, really?! That's awesome, are you going to Houston as well?

PS who were you? (obviously I don't want a name, but I'm just curious if we met // PM me if you don't want to describe yourself to all the predents lol)
 
officially accepted San Antonio and declined Houston 😀
 
well I ended up choosing to attend Baylor.. already turned down Houston and will be calling SA to revoke my confirmation tomorrow!
 
What are the dates that you must confirm your acceptance by at Baylor, Houston or SA? i am awaiting the second round and i'm starting to get impatient because they should have already been mailed/e-mailed (at least by 1/16 last year)...

1/14, 1/15, and 1/9 respectively. I'm in your boat too.
 
anybody got th email from "Pam Lenow" about "the Pre-Dental Track" program in San Antonio? I had my interview there last monday. that means I am out of the game already? 😕
 
Do you have to go through your Health Profession center to Apply to Texas Dental Schools? Do all Texas schools pay attention to that HPAC packet that the university sends or Can i go solo on this? any advice anyone
🙂

LOL! No, they sent that to everybody last year too. It has nothing to do with it. I replied that I was already accepted to dental school...😎

of course, you are not going to get any email! you don't want to spend one year in pre dental before starting your dental school do you? lol 😀
 
I also got the letter from Pam even though I was accepted at SA Dec. 1st, so I'm thinking it doesn't mean anything.
 
got a letter from san antonio yesterday...😀🙂
now decision time once again.
houston vs san antonio....
 
Clubby said:
I wouldn't panic yet. Was it your only interview? Letters can take up to 3-4 days to get to Houston like they did last time.

Eh, I'm actually located in Dallas. It's my only interview that matters at this point. I've got my fingers crossed!:xf: I'm under the impression that letters get to places within the same amount of time...two days. So mail would arrive at the same time despite the distance. God, I hope ur right.
 
letters sent to houston from sa and dallas tend to take an extra day...i'm also prepared for the worst, i interviewed at sa and houston and have yet to hear, but dont lose the faith!
 
i just got an email acceptance from Houston 🙂, i already sent my deposit to baylor but now i'm not so sure. I'll decide soon so as not to take up places.
 
things are starting to look grim for me...again...🙁
 
im in the same boat presjc2..i interviewed houston dec. 8th and san antonio jan 5th..no mail..no email..😕
 
congrats to those who have just recently got accepted!

I see that some are stressing over not receiving acceptances up to this point. I would say relax...you don't know if it will come in several days (email or mail). I have yet to interview yet (Jan 26th), so reading your posts are not helping. And for those accepted into several TX schools please do not choose Houston :laugh: as you would be helping me out!

So I guess 1/20/09 is the 2nd round...anyone know when round 3 will begin?
 
University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston Dental Branch - Class of 2013! 😀

email was sent at 8:54 am todayyy
 
So this week is pretty much the decision week for SA.... man, i'm praying.

For those of you accepted to Houston in the 2nd round (Jan 20th):
When was your interview?

I had to reschedule twice for Houston and ended up interviewing late on Dec 15th.
Accepted a spot in SA but really waiting on Houston...

When do you have to respond? Just curious to see when a 3rd round acceptances might be sent out.
 
anyone know how many "rounds" there are (specifically for houston) ? Or in general...I'm starting to get depressed.🙁

And does houston just send out mass emails on one day...or can we have some hope for the rest of this week...lol.

Dude, same thing happened with one of my friends. Luckily, I dug my Houston interview invite out of the junk mail folder in Gmail. UTDB needs to find out why their material is being marked as "junk", when in fact it should be marked as gold!!

I had my interview on Nov 24th, the Monday before Thanksgiving. At the end of the day, Dr. Pierpont said something along the line: you folks won't hear from until on Dec 1st because that's too early for us to make decisions about your applications and putting them into the system.....etc. So yea, I pretty much had been waiting since that day. 😳
But I'm glad I got accepted :idea:. Now I have to figure out how to change my name at the school and TMDSAS for criminal background check because I corrected my name when I was naturalized to become a US citizen. Does anybody in here know how I should go about this?
To be honest, Houston was (and still is) my #1 so I was super nervous during the 1st 15 minutes of my interview. :scared: I couldn't concentrate at all... but gladly, everything went well towards the end. I think I had a 'good' interviewer? I couldn't read his face expression most of the time though. It's like, you can never guess what he's thinking.

I use Gmail too and I don't think I ever had this problem. :luck: All of my UTDB emails went straight into my Inbox folder.
