Boston University (BU) School of Dental Medicine Class of 2027 Interview/Acceptance Thread

If not the app then what? They flipped a coin?

I mean there is a reason that person got 7 interviews, if the application is bad then there would be no interviews. Maybe they just think this person doesn’t meet their goals.

Every school looks for different stuff, was prob just not what they were looking for. I was really just replying to people above that seemed to be really taken by the rejection and thought something was bad on their app. Not every school is gonna like everybody and that is expected.

 

[drnole]

When did you send in your applications?

June 6

 

[futuredr101]

For the people that got rejected, did you get an interview first?

 

[prehealth99]

For the people that got rejected, did you get an interview first?

No, pretty sure all of us rejected without interview

 

[mvasquez]

Rejected this morning as well in the middle of my other dental school interview so that caught me off guard lol

 

[Toothfairy_3]

For those who heard back today, when did your apps get completed and go under review? Mine was complete two months ago and portal status has been “under review” since July

 

[dentstudent7590]

Same

Did you guys interview or straight up rejection?

 

[Dentist1456]

Were there so many rejections in September without an interview? Have you ever done that?

 

[sk135]

Did you guys interview or straight up rejection?

Straight up rejection. I submitted June 1st so it's quite disappointing.

 

[titikam]

Any Canadians received an interview?

 

[Tisdaszn]

Did ppl that got rejected see rejected on AADSAS?

 

[dentalstuden245]

[mangoomg]

Oh ok, I'll send a follow up. Thanks for letting me know!

 

[mrworldwide305]

I was told that BU would be holding in-person visit days for those who received an interview invite. Does anyone know when they will be held?

 

[futuredr101]

BU sent out an email with a link for the different dates to attend the in-person visit day. I believe they're held on the weekend.

 

[futuredent_01]

Any more interview invites recently? Also how was the interview for those that have done it?

 

[ToothFairy500]

About how much percent of out of state applicants does Boston accept after the interview?

 

[drbozo]

About how much percent of out of state applicants does Boston accept after the interview?

around 60-70% I believe. BU is very selective w interviews because they accept most of their interviewed applicants

 

[mellyrocker]

around 60-70% I believe. BU is very selective w interviews because they accept most of their interviewed applicants

Question, so how many interviews does BU give out before the 15th of December?

How many people does BU tend to interview each cycle? How many acceptances does BU give out?

If 60-70% get an acceptance from those interviewed, what happens to the other 30%?

Those 30% are either rejected or waitlisted (then rejected). The ADEA guide does not disclose how many interviews BU gave out for the class of 2024. But they do say out of 154 IS applicants, 71 were accepted and 1864 OOS applicants had 221 accepted. Each school is different on how many spots they interview before Dec. 15. But they aren’t allowed to accept more than the amount of seats they have available for their class per ADEA traffic rules.

 

[mrworldwide305]

Anyone attended or planning to attend one of their in-person visit days? What kind of attire would be appropriate?

 

[CoffeePanda]

I attended and honestly attire ranged from casual to business formal, with most people wearing business causal. I personally would suggest business casual with comfortable shoes because you will be walking around a lot.

 

[futuredentalstudent112233]

I was wondering this too because I haven't seen anything about it

 

[yooloo]

For those who have received interviews, has anyone been able to register for a student affairs presentation?

They send you emails about it for you to register

 

[sarahM4998]

I was contacted 2 weeks ago for an interview and they said the interviewer would reach out to schedule a date, but they still haven't. Should I contact them?

I would if it was me, I think 2 weeks is a bit long. Mine contacted me the next day

What does yours say? my friend got an acceptance email. I have not gotten anything yet.

 

[ToothFairy500]

Did your portal status update on AADSAS?

 

[aspiringdentist14]

[singingdentist44]

Heard back around 10:30; got accepted! The dental application updated to "offer made" a little bit before receiving the email! Good luck everyone, fingers crossed for you!

 

[Mr.Smilez]
