No, I haven't been accepted, nor have I even submitted AADSAS (that'll be done Monday), but I got your attention.

Why are so many people hearing back from schools NOW?

I was under the impression that I will apply in June (as I am), get secondaries/interview requests in August/Sept, then hear back by X-mas/Jan.

What is the real thing? Are the people hearing back now the people that applied In Jan, Feb?

Can y'all elaborate!?

(Schools I'm looking at: Michigan, Detroit Mercy, Marquette, Louisville, Maryland, BU, Tufts, Maryland, Pitt, Temple, Creighton, Nova)

these people who are hearing back from dental schools now are the decisions that are being rendered on the last of the class of 2010 by the dental schools. you are the class of 2011. makes sense?

Yes, I know I am the class of 2011. But are the people hearing back now the last of the last for 2010? If I apply NOW will I get secondaries/interviews in August/Sept/Oct and acceptances before Jan? Or will I be waiting till May/June like some?

people hearing back now are either on the waiting list or had late interviews. just cause you apply today may guarantee early interviews (if ur competitive), but you may be put on a waiting list. waiting lists move VERY slow.... some people don't hear back till the week before d-school starts.

Doesn't matter when you applied or interviewed, the earliest decisions start coming in around Dec 1st for most schools. These people are from last cycle. You people (class of 2011) won't hear about your acceptance until mid Dec (depending on when you were interviewed)

that depends. if you have outstanding credentials (gpa >3.4 and dat >20, you will get early interviews in the fall, and early acceptance in dec or jan. if you have weaker credentials, you will get later interviews and later acceptances. if you have a gpa <3.1 and dat <19, you may get no interviews at all.

Yes, the people hearing back now are the last for 2010. If you apply now you will get secondaries/interviews in August forward and, if all goes well, you should be getting acceptances after December 1st.

wrong! go look on predent! there are people with 16s and 17s with average gpa and they got in. It's the whole packaga. I don't want to go on the offensive, but people need to stop making comments like this, you're not on the selection committee. I know people with lower stats who have such a strong passion for dentistry, and that's what going to carry them through.

But what about people with strong stats and such a strong passion for dentistry?

Just playing with you but you don't have to come off as so defensive.
