Hello everyone!!

Any female interested to share accomodation for interview on Oct14? Please let me know as soon as possible.

Did you already get IV from BU? I am confused by your post since I got email from BU today and it says:

"Thank you for applying to the Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine’s Advanced Standing DMD Program. We have received your application fee, and your application is now complete.

At this point, while Admissions staff is readying for the beginning of orientation, the review process has not begun. "
 
I too don't understand what they mean,I applied in May but so far did not receive any email saying if my application is under review or not.But many others already got so and also interview invitations for Oct.I think they conduct interviews till the end of the year,so we still could keep up our hopes.

PS: I too got the same email saying my application is complete and they haven't started reviewing.Maybe they meant they haven't started reviewing mine,I don't know🙁
 
can anyone give me an idea of how many batches have they called for interview by now ?

They sent ''application under review'' e-mails to all those who were invited. All others including me only got application complete email .. BU's criteria as all know part-1> 90 and TOEFL>100!!

That's right,they prefer people with stats as what you've mentioned.But I believe many times they've accepted people with lesser scores too.No idea how many people/batches they've invited yet.And I too think they send "application under review emails" to only those who've been invited.
Hopefully we all will get a call soon!:xf::xf:
 
hey guys..i guess there are two batches right nw...14 n 21 october..
 
Last year's average is 90, so that means they definitely accept people with score less than 90, so everybody cheer up. Hope the good news is coming soon.:xf:

Hi you have 100% chances for BU👍. But you have to wait as first they are serving candidates with part-1-92-96 . When this flow will over ppl with less than 90 will be called.
Did you receive application under review E-mail? As they send this e-mail only to future candidates.

According the email i received, BU dental school is busy in giving orientation to new students now. They will resume reviewing application after this. I guess probably it will be sometime in September.

I got only this email, I am not sure if this is the one your talking about;

Thank you for applying to the Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine’s Advanced Standing DMD Program. We have received your application fee, and your application is now complete.

At this point, while Admissions staff is readying for the beginning of orientation, the review process has not begun.

However, you will be notified by e-mail when your application is reviewed by the Admissions Committee. Be advised, applications are often reviewed multiple times throughout the admissions cycle. An applicant may be invited for an interview at any point throughout the interview cycle. Therefore, your file will remain active until you are informed otherwise. Interviews will be held between mid-October up until mid-March.

Because applications are reviewed throughout the year, those who apply early will not necessarily hear of their final status earlier than other applicants.

If you need to update your TOEFL scores, or change your address or phone number, please do so through CAAPID. These changes will be imported and updated in our system. Admissions staff does not have the capacity to change this information. It must be done by you. Furthermore, application status will not be issued over the phone, and information regarding an application can be communicated only to the applicant him or herself.

Once again, thank you for applying to the Advanced Standing Program at Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine

Thanks Harry, I am really disappointed I didn't get any interview untill now, I thought getting 91 in NBDE 1 will make it easy on me.
I didn't get any invitation neither from UIC nor Upenn and now BU.
 
Does anybody approximately how many months does it take for BU to send a email saying "Application under Review"? I applied in June and have'nt received the email. I got my application complete email. My Stats are 86/76/101/3.7 (NBDE P1/P2/TOEFL/GPA)+ 2 years of experience in US as an Intern. Does I stand any chance of getting a interview call from BU?

Don't worry bro. Don't know about Upenn as they prefer Exp. and master's degree over the part-1 score but you will get news from BU soon.👍

Are you sure that they send review mails to only future candidates and not all.is there any one who got review mail bt did not get interviewd?

Or let me ask the other way.....did anyone ever got an interview call without getting "application under review" email?
Please reply.Thanks

It is still too early for Upenn and BU. So be patient.

Part I score is very important. But if you do not prepare other parts of application very well, you may have trouble to get invitation.
 
Does BU schedule interview for reapplicants?
In their e-mail it says" we do not schedule interview who were interview last year". wat does it mean?
if someone was rejected last year, does he wont be invited for interview?
please reply if anyone knows regarding this

no it means that if ure considered for admission in the school, they wont need to interview you as they've already met with you last year. Its like u're a new applicant in regards to consideration, but when it comes to the interview, u've already done with it

Hi,
BU does not call people interviewed before again for an interview,if they get rejection and again if they apply there is no interview in accepting them thats all it meant.Dont worry jus be positive.I was rejected without interview last year, this year I have got interview invitation.Let us all try to be optimistic.Good luck to all.
 
I too don't understand what they mean,I applied in May but so far did not receive any email saying if my application is under review or not.But many others already got so and also interview invitations for Oct.I think they conduct interviews till the end of the year,so we still could keep up our hopes.

PS: I too got the same email saying my application is complete and they haven't started reviewing.Maybe they meant they haven't started reviewing mine,I don't know🙁
hello,could u share ur stats with me??
mine are;87/97/3.58 and my wife's;87/94/3.84...we r bit worried dat bu only call those wid 90+part 1 and 100+toefl...is there aNNNY chance for us??😡😕
 
BU is very easy to get into. The interview process is pretty casual. The questions are personal and no clinical questions are asked. Do not get tensed or worry too much. The questions are like:

1. What school did you graduate from?
2. How many crowns/FPD/ root canals have you done?
3. Why BU?
4. What are your plans in the future....etc., etc.

You don't have to prepare for those questions. Just be sure to read your SOP well and also read a little about the school.

I am sure a lot of you will get into BU. It is a good school and the faculty is really nice. I am lucky to be here!!

hi dentitca..i gave my part 1 last year but could not apply.does it going to effect the application in a negative way ..
 
that doesnt matter. They just look at your resume, doesnt matter when u gave part 1 and when you applied.
 
hey periosdm:

no...not yet,dat's wy m bit worried
 
Dont worry you will get a call soon! just need to keep some patience. you have good enough scores and resume so dnt worry.
 
thnx for ur motivation and support...do u think dat i shud rewrite my toefl to get 100+ score
 
yes you should try it .
bcoz as per my knowledge ur previous scores are not erased you can still use ur previous score.

Hi DENTISTCA , does it mean that if someone gets an email saying application under review this means there is a big chance they will get a call for interview?

Thanks
 
Well if your application goes under review then you have more chances, as early your application goes into review more chance, but this is a game of wait and luck so there is no confirmation that you will get interview call. so just wait and watch keep patience thats all i can say, and obviously if your application goes into review you have really good chance because many times applicants resume is not strong enough and BU dnt take under review also. All the best.

Thanks Dentistca for the explanation.

I just received application under review email. Still has to wait for the email regarding the interview.... Should I call them to find out whats happening?
