[atira001]

can you send a letter of intent after your interview or can it only be sent after they make a decision?

 

[wolf30]

can you send a letter of intent after your interview or can it only be sent after they make a decision?

Can be sent anytime, though I would recommend sending it after your interview, my friend who is a D2 there said to keep showing interest. Write about you have been doing since the interview even.

If anyone has looked at the estimated expense pdf, do you know if the "educational expenses-charged on tuition bill" is part of the tuition or charged on top of tuition?

 

[afay17]

i got an email notifying me of acceptance. I interviewed in November and was waitlisted on Dec 15. I sent a letter of intent and called a few times to update what i’ve been doing and reiterating my interest. and I did get that survey asking if i was still interested last week. My stats are 3.95 GPA and science GPA, and 19 AA and 20 TS and i’m OOS.

Buffalo vs. NYU?? Dude, I feel like that's a no-brainer; why would you choose NYU when you could attend Buffalo and get a better and more affordable dental education?

 

[miket1999]

Has anyone else been placed in continuing review? They sent me an email a while ago so I was wondering if anyone who was was placed in continuing review as well has heard anything?

 

[stampka]

Just got accepted today!! Super excited!! Buffalo is my first choice so I’m so excited!! Interviewed in November and got waitlisted Dec 15!

Yes you're right but things like being by my family especially for the next four years it's really tough from my family's perspective if I were to go a bit farther from home. Overall I do feel like buffalo checks more boxes off but I want to ensure its a decision that is great for me and makes my family happy. That's the biggest issue I think my family sees, but they told me to choose what I believe is best for me. I hope I can come to a well thought out decision good luck to everyone

I see where you're coming from because I'm also from NYC and super close to my family. Good luck! I hope you choose UB haha

I was on the website and it said that the admitted student day is on february 27th. I wonder if they have interviews after that day or it ends then...

 

[lemonade275L]

Just got an email saying: The Committee has placed your application in "Continuing Review." I haven't interviewed.. would you guys recommend sending a letter of intent?

yes send a letter of intent, they had a webinar a couple of months ago and someone asked what they should do if they havent received an interview yet and they said to just like stay in touch and send in emails about updates about new experiences etc

I just sent an email of updated experiences and how it will benefit me in dental school especially at UB, as well as explaining why UB was my top choice and how I think I would positively impact the school. HUGE DISCLAIMER Im an applicant and havent gotten an interview yet so take this advice with multiple grains of salt lol

 

[future.sdr]

you guys finalizing housing at buffalo, between the popular options of collegiate village vs axis 360, why one versus the other? pros and cons of both?

 

[Tooft]

Any chance of still getting off the waitlist?

 

[stampka]

congrats! when did you interview/ get in?

Interviewed in early December, waitlisted December 15th, accepted end of January!

 

[atira001]

Any chance of still getting off the waitlist?

me too

 

[stampka]

me too

There’s def still a chance you get off the wait list!! My friend that’s a D2 at Buffalo said she has a few classmates that didn’t get accepted off the waitlist until April! It just all depends on whether people accept or reject buffalos offer. Some people even pull out last minute.

make sure you also look at other expenses such as part a (educational expenses) which is $16,052 added to 36k. Other schools have included those fees already in the tuition but buffalo does not.

Take a look here I did the cost breakdown, it could be variable based on your own expenses. I assumed 900 rent in buffalo but u can get lower or higher than that value. And transportation I accounted for airfare and/or car travel including E-ZPass/gas-electric fuel. Waived insurance also

 

[koffeeaddict]

Received an interview invite a few days ago. Any advice? I believe that two members of the faculty will be conducting the interview together so a little nervous about that.
