To those of you who received your interview invites today, congrats! How long ago was your status on AADSAS for BU updated to "in review"? Thanks.

I would guess about three weeks.
 
Out of state (NY).

AADSAS updated BU status last week I beleive. I payed online a few weeks ago. App. mailed out 8/22.
 
Does the AADSAS status now say interviewed?
 
11/20 right here ... =]
 
No change in AADSAS status yet...
 
Got one as well!
10/30 .. anyone else going that date? feel free to PM me.. and im coming the night before.. anyone know a good close (cheap) place to stay?
 
Got an interview on 10/16. BU was a safety school of mine and I'm pretty sure I won't be attending the interview, so that date should open up as soon as I tell them I'm not coming to the interview. Do you guys think I should bother going to the interview? I'm not really interested in the school. Boston would be fun and i'm not sure if i'm missing out by not going to the interview.

personally, i'm from the POV that says "if you most likely already have been accepted by a school you like better, then don't waste time/money", but you earned the right to go if you really are interested

Well, that's the reason you applied to safeties right? To make sure you got in somewhere? I plan on going to all my interviews until I have it down on paper that I'm going to dental school somewhere 🙂

Well they were safety schools before I had taken the DAT and had received other interviews. I know an interview is not a guarantee by any means to gettin accepted, but I feel fairly confident. I'm really only waiting on 2 other interviews from my list of schools and a few are kind of a toss up.
 
seems like the ones with the interviews have really high scores. My 19/15 and 3.5 is looking worse and worse 🙁

I dunno, not trying to push you into something you don't want to do but it seems (to me) like a big risk to take; not getting in could cost you a year or more of your life. You have great stats, and in all likelihood it won't matter, but I for one am not going to take any chances.
 
Congrats to all of you!! I'll check my e-mail...nothing here. Good luck in your interviews!
 
does anyone know roughly what % of interviewees at BU (this early) get accepted? this is just cuz the school is my first choice and i would sort of like that number to be really really high


oh, and also... after they give you an interview, do your scores really matter afterwards? like during the interview

For the class of 2010, 562 people were interviewed and 315 were accepted, so 56% of those interviewed were accepted. I think most people are on the same playing field once they have an interview, but I still think they'll consider your scores, extracurriculars, and personality in making the final decision for who gets accepted.
 
My interview is 12/4. Would it be wise of me to try to call and change in to earler (october sometime)?

They assigned me that date, do they just randomly assign or is it that better candidated get earlier interviews?

WOW!!!!!!! Their class size is 315. I thought NYU has the biggest class size and that's roughly around 220.
 
last time i checked boston only had 102 seats. i think the 315 includes the people who were accepted but chose to attend another school.
 
Hey, I didn't get a good answer to this so I am reposting:

You can try calling to get an earlier interview, but if you got such a late interview, it's probably b/c the earlier spots are all booked. The only ones that may clear up are the ones where people decide not to attend or change to later interviews, which is something I may be doing, so that spot would open up to the first person who calls after me.
 
Maybe I will try calling.

Also, my app was sent August 22 and I got an interview invite.
 
How are you guys getting to Boston and where are you staying?

How many people generally interview on one day?
 
Well, I just called and canceled my interview on Oct 16, so that day should be open for anyone who wants to switch to an earlier interview.
 
guess we'll be seein you guys in a few weeks huh?
 
October 30th, right here! anyone else on this date? I'm staying at the Marriot.
