Daaamn kid you got absolutely annihilated this application cycle

BUT, you do have a chance to get off the waitlist and attend one of the most selective dental school in the country

Good luck my man...

You did not apply to your state school??????

 

[kingcon9]

hey OP, how early did you apply?

I gave up my spot about a month ago, and then they called me and asked me where my second deposit check was a few days ago, so I'm guessing they possibly didn't get my letter giving up the spot - so that might mean there may be some movement soon, and I'm sure more people will end up giving up their seats.

Good luck, and keep your hopes up!

No, I didn't because they've rejected me three times already without an interview.

I applied in June 2008.
