3rd Batch Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Lets keep this alive 3rd batchers! I wake up anxious but hopeful everyday. Best of luck!
 
ehdnwk, 3rd Batch went out 7/12

So far just a supplemental from ASDOH
 
yay 3rd batch! i got a secondary from Loma Linda U and I've just started my Western U one... I didn't realize that you were supposed to have submitted it when you submit your AADSAS too 🙁

Yea Im also late on my Western U secondary. Any idea on what that means for us?

I haven't turned mine in either. They recently emailed me this:

"You recently started an online application for the Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) program at Western University of Health Sciences; however, your application has not yet been submitted. We encourage you to submit your application as soon as possible so that you may continue in the application process."

So i think we should be fine as long as we submit it ASAP!
 
Waiting on UCLA.

Got LECOM secondary as well.
 
Hopefully we hear some good news this week!👍
 
I am in the 3rd batch too! I got a secondary from Ohio State, Louisville, and submitted my secondary app. fees for all the other schools I applied to at the same time I submitted the AADSAS app.
 
Hi all!

I, too, have only recently submitted my supplemental fees and such. Although I know we should've done it ASAP, it just didn't makes sense to me to submit it along with submitting our AADSAS application. Even though they could see our application after we submit/before our mailing date, all they would see is an incomplete application because of the GPA verification, so the best they could do with the information then is to register in their system that an applicant will be applying this cycle. So I think as long as we don't lag too much after our mailing dates, we should still be okay. Plus, some schools I applied to required me to create a login/gave me a link to login that they generated, which I never got before our mailing date. Come to think of it, I never got anything from anyone pre-mailing date. I think we're at our 1-week-ish mark right now. I don't know how good/bad that is.

Or maybe I'm just giving my laziness a justification. :laugh:

Although the MWU-AZ is out, they have not contacted anyone yet to submit it so you can fill it out just don't submit until they contact you as stated on AADSAS
 
Did anyone apply to Rutgers and receive a secondary application?

Hey I'm in the 3rd batch and also applied to OSU and Louisville! Best of luck, friend 🙂

How many cycles are there anyways? AADSAS sent my stuff out on the 12th and I got a supplemental app from OSU on the 18th that I submitted yesterday. Am I late in the application process, or should I be OK?
 
Just got my first interview invite this morning from Nova.
 
Any other 3rd batchers still waiting to get a secondary from BU?
 
I received the email from Boston on 6/30, before AADSAS even mailed out my application.
 
Me too, I'm third batch and got interviews from NOVA and LSU so far.

I think you'll be just fine, I just completed the secondary app. on the 22nd, so I hope we're not too late anyways! Their deadline is Sept. 1st for out-of-state and it doesn't look like they get as many applications as other schools. What state are you a resident of? I am an Idaho resident.
 
^ I'm an Ohio resident. I just called all the schools I applied to today about updated DAT scores, and found out that we're still pretty early in the application process (according to one of the admissions officers at Case Western Reserve), so nothing to fear 🙂

If anyone is wondering - Louisville, Ohio State, and Louisiana State all accept unofficial updated DAT scores to keep you on their radar if your scores significantly improved. According to Marquette, AADSAS will probably have updated DAT scores by this Friday, but Louisville said they wouldn't be in till mid August! So, I'm not really sure what to think of that.
 
I applied to UCLA, UCSF, UOP, and USC.

Got confirmation emails from UOP, UCSF, UCLA(with supplement app).
 
Got confirmation email from MWU-Az today.

I applied to:

MWU-Az
OSU
LSU
Tennessee
Louisville
Case
Marquette

Received confirmations/secondaries from them all now.
 
Received an interview invitation from Nebraska today. South Dakota resident, 21 AA and 23 PA. 3.65 GPA. Waiting on Louisville, Iowa, Creighton, Oklahoma, Minnesota.

Got this today from Louisville:

This is to inform you that your application to the University of Louisville School of Dentistry DMD Program is now COMPLETE and no further action is needed at this time. Complete applications are "under review" by the Admissions Committee throughout the remainder of the application cycle.

Although we have a large number of applications, your application is important to us and will be given careful consideration. Only individuals who are being seriously considered are invited to interview, and interviewing is mandatory prior to admission. If selected to interview you will be contacted via email. Interviews are conducted on Mondays and Fridays from late August through February. In order to be interviewed you must respond by the deadline specified on your invitation.

We appreciate your promptness in submitting your application materials and your patience during the review period. We will notify you by email if your status changes so it is not necessary for you to contact us.

Thank you for your interest. We wish you the best in your quest to become a dentist.

Sincerely,

Received my secondary from Temple today via e-mail. Not really much of an additional application, but a $50 fee.
 
Got all of my secondaries turned in... but nothing yet 🙁
16 schools... I just need 1 :luck:
 
Man us 3rd batchers are a patient bunch.. we have like half the comments the 4th batch thread has, all quiet before the storm
 
Do you guys think Nova and Case have gone through all of batch 3 yet ??
 
3rd batcher reporting in, heard back from a bunch of schools so far
MWU- IL - Secondary
MWU- AZ - Secondary
Stony Brook- No Secondary
Case- No Secondary
NYU- No Secondary
Maryland- No Secondary
Buffalo- No Secondary
Rutgers- No Secondary

Applied to 16 schools, currently waitlisted at Case. What do you think the chances are that they will invite me again for an interview? When I was there they always told me how much they liked me, my GPA isnt the greatest though. When I called them they told me that they didn't want to reject me but they didn't have a spot for me basically.

Also, how early is 3rd batch? I applied in like September-October last cycle. Is that a huge difference?

3rd batch is much earlier than last year. 3rd batch was sent out 07-12-13. You definitely have a way better shot than September-October!
 
For those of you who applied to Louisville, have any of you heard back from them regarding their secondary app?
