Wow, so I just got an interview invitation e-mail from Colorado. Apparently they also sent me one earlier on Sept. 20. Thank goodness for Barbara! 😀
 
Congratulations, you guys. 🙂 To those who got interviews, when did Colorado send a request for their supplemental info/fees? I've heard exactly nothing from them 😛 I am out-of-state/non-WICHE, so I know my chances aren't all that great, unfortunately!
 
and now I'm late for school because I got sucked into In Her Drawer's signature links :laugh:

(congrats IHD!)

I'm out of state, non WICHE and just scheduled an interview....don't lose hope

I am in-state and have yet to be requested for sending my fee and supplemental.

Looks like we're going to be there on the same day -- October 14th, right? Did you schedule a morning or afternoon interview?

Haha, I take it you enjoyed the links?

I went for an afternoon interview. All my others are morning ones, and I felt like changing it up. 🙂

I am not applying this year, but I have to tell you...I don't know how many times I have spoken with Barb...she is the biggest help ever!!! Seems like she is always there when I call or she gets right back with me...

I really hope I get accepted next year...

uh are you serious??? your stats are closer to my body weight than good DAT/GPA scores.
Good Job. I am sure you will be just fine.
 
I interview in the morning on the 14th. I hope I get accepted because I live one block from the school.
 
I've got a question for WICHE people. What's the “eligibility letter” that Colorado is asking for? Is it something simple that I'm overlooking? (I haven't received anything in the mail from WICHE.) Or are am I is stupid?

some time this month wiche will mail a letter to everyone who has applied and is eligible. pretty simple. they havent mailed it out yet. pretty much if your in a wiche state and you applied before the deadline then ull get a letter. getting money is much more difficult and i think you find out in the spring who gets the money

Thanks a lot, man. And always remember to rock the AZ. 😀

I'm interviewing that morning as well! Are you nervous? How are you going to prepare? Are you a guy or a girl?

When did you guys receive your notice to mail in your application fee and what not? All I have received has been the E-mail stating they have my application back in August.

The interview invite email that I received asked for the application fee and asked me to fill out some forms, send my transcripts and a picture. It was actually kind of an unusual email -- the subject of the email was "Accountable Student", and at first, I thought it was just a request for money. Then, in the very last paragraph, they requested the interview.

So, apparently Colorado doesn't ask you for money until they offer you an interview -- which is really nice. I wish all schools did it this way.

"Accountable Student?" That sounds odd. It almost makes me wonder if I deleted the original e-mail without even reading it. 😳

I'm a guy. I've been pretty successful just being myself at my other interviews. Dr. Klunder is a very nice guy I'm sure the interview will be fun. Good luck.
 
congrats!😀
 
Hey friends, I have a question! I'm trying to check out the map for the Colorado SoD, but the address Colorado gives does not jive with Google or Yahoo maps (also note that Google tries to change the zip code, as well). For those who have been already, is the street actually 17th Place instead of 17th Avenue? Thanks!

Yeah, i got the same thing

Do I understand correctly that you are an AZ resident but have not gotten the WICHE letter yet?

I can't wait for my WICHE letter to get here. Do we as AZ people have to send a copy of the letter or does WICHE do that for us?

Thanks

Yep, I am an AZ resident without a WICHE eligibility letter as of yet. As far as I know, WICHE only sends the letter to us and so we have to send a copy of the WICHE letter to Colorado. I could be wrong, though.
 
Hi, I was just wondering who else is interviewing in the morning on Saturday? Are you excited to see the brand new facility like I am?!? 😍

I've got a question for WICHE people. What's the "eligibility letter" that Colorado is asking for? Is it something simple that I'm overlooking? (I haven't received anything in the mail from WICHE.) Or are am I is stupid?

And another question: Is Arizona really part of WICHE? Doesn't ASDOH count as their in-state dental school?
 
What I mean is: just because AZ is apart of WICHE that doesn't entitle AZ residents to WICHE preference. It only gives WICHE preference to students whose states don't have dental schools (Hawaii, South Dakota, North Dakota, etc.). I'm a Colorado resident, we have a dental school ... but that doesn't entitle me WICHE preference to schools like UW, UCLA, Nebraska, and ASDOH. Right? Otherwise, I'd better apply for WICHE preference ASAP!!

It's about state schools, not private ones. ASDOH is private, therefore I am eligible to receive WICHE>

Here is a little inside info in regards to Colorado.

They want people who are around 26-28 or have some other type of life experience. If you are right out of college, then good luck b/c you are going to need it.

Where did you get that information?

That's definately not true!!! My best friend (2 years ago) and three other of my undergrad friends (last year, all from the same institution) were admitted at age 22 just having received a backelor's with zero "life experience." A little shadowing, maybe research, some extra-curriculars, one lab instructor, and tutoring but no health career experience by any means.

People don't sweat bullets about Colorado! Yes, they admit some non-trad's but that doesn't mean that trad students are thrown to the way-side!! What's the point sharing all this bogus "insider info" anyway. Must be scared about your chances...
 
Yes, I'm scared about my chances since I'm already a dentist.

This is what I was told when I interviewed at Colorado when I was 21.

Oh booo... So, since you're a dentist shouldn't you be more worried about practicing dentistry than spreading false information about admission criteria? I don't expect to be surfing the SDN PRE-Dental forums when I'm a hot-shot like you...
 
I wish they except out of state students. My bro lives in the surrounding Denver area. I visited the area that summer and alove Colorado. If only...

Well, they definitely interview out-of-staters, and hopefully they will accept a few too! I'm from Ohio and I have an interview there this week. 😀 Did you apply?
 
Just got an email invite today!
