Chances of getting in with 3 interviews

Í've been pondering the chance of getting into 1 school with 3 interviews. How many schools did you get invited to interview and how many accepted you? I'm so afraid of having 3 busts

9 interviews, 7 acceptances, 1 waitlist, 1 rejection.

Good luck, I think it's about a 1/3 chance of getting in when you interview.

Good luck, I'm sure you'll get in!

you could determine your chances mathematically. The ADEA guide to dental schools has several charts for number interviewed, accepted, and enrolled. Some of the schools don't report the number of accepted students. What I've found is that a lot of schools accept between 30-50% of students they have interviewed. You should also factor in that they probably accept more of their applicants earlier in the cycle. Also consider out-of-state and in-state. The ADEA guide breaks down the in-state out-of-state data.

Those charts are really useful in figuring out your chances and where you should apply. I met several people during interviews that had not even heard of the book and had applied to completely random places that they would never get into because they were out-of-state.

Three interviews could be good, depending on when you had them and where they are from, and of course your stats.

Were your interviews pre or post December? The one acceptance I got was for a pre-december interview. The other two were in January.
