Countdown until December 1st

Members do not see this ad.

I met another pre-dent (probably not an SDN user) at an interview the other day and she asked me when we hear back. I told her about "Dec. 1st", which she was amazed to hear about.

I actually kind of feel bad. Like what if she figured it would be a few months, so no sweat for a bit, but now she's freaking out like the rest of us these next two weeks.

Explaining the dental school process to family and friends is so much more difficult than it sounds. Concepts like "pre-Dec 1st", "wait list", "deposits", "tuition and fees", and "how difficult it is to get in" are beyond comprehension for them sometimes.

Least favorite compliment from people, "oh.. you'll get in don't worry". If only they knew lol

So much this. Also my first time applying to dental school I got ONE pre dec interview and my family was congratulating me to the point of getting accepted. I was like an interview doesn't mean acceptance!!!

And I proved them wrong by not getting accepted and having to reapply haha.

Dammit, now you're scaring me.

Haha don't worry there's tons of people that get one interview and get accepted which I'm sure you know that already. Also that one interview I had last cycle was literally my first interview ever for anything, so I probably wasn't as good as I hoped I would be.

Where did you interview at and why do you think you didn't get an acceptance?

 

[BowlingDoctor]

Ya'll are stressing me out and I don't even apply until June....

Note to self, don't tell family and friends if I get an interview for the sake of not disappointing them.................... (More dots)

Nah don't do that. Just play it down. I've found it's bad to hide things.

I told them that I would find out if I got accepted at any point between December and April just in case.

Now that's thinking ahead.

 

[Dentista777]

Now, if you interviewed pretty early in the cycle, you should expect a reply on december 1st, right? So, even if they decide you should be on the waitlist, you would find out december 1st (if you interviewed with them early on)?

 

[Dentista777]

14 days 23 hours 59 minutes 40seconds...in other words,
Almost 2 weeks everyoneeeeee!!!

That's not automatically true. I interviewed at MUSC's very first round of interviews last year and didn't get the rejection letter until some time in February or March.

Interview on Monday, then Thanksgiving, then it's TIME.

Where are you interviewing on Monday?

 

[Maybe.a.dentist]

what was the reason for rejection?

There was a couple issues with my application last year, namely a lack of shadowing hours and less than ideal DAT score.

 

[LVKE]

Might be a dumb question but, when schools send emails on December 1st is it only for an acceptance? Or will they email you to reject or waitlisted you too?

 

[DC206R]

The can reject at any time. Acceptance/waitlist will be on and after Dec. 1st.

 

[nebuchadnezzar90]

I think if you interviewed they can't make a decision until after December 1st including rejections.

Not true

 

[DMDDDSHopeful]

Not true

Where do you get this information from? Have there been people who received rejections right after an interview before December 1st?

 

[blablabla1]

When I say not true, I mean that schools still send rejections to those who have not interviewed prior to December 1st

 

[plusalpha]

True, but the original question was pertaining to those who HAVE already had their interviews.

Thanks for clarifying!

True, but the original question was pertaining to those who HAVE already had their interviews.

Yup, that's why I was confused. I was almost happy because that would be a good sign for those that interviewed and didn't get a rejection right after.

13 days.

I was really excited to get any acceptance on December 1st but lately i've been feeling I won't be happy unless I get into my top choice.

Can we start overestimating instead of under when we're counting down? It feels like a lie the same way 9.99 is 10 dollars not 9 dollars.😵

I'mma lead by example: There are now 13 days left !!!!!!!!!!! (<-- energy)

edited days left because I can't count
