[aanonymouspredent]

Any news??

I pretty sure they stop interviewing in November. It might be closing up and there aren’t post dec interviews

 

[sneakerheaddentist]

thank you so much for the update!

 

[MayeliC]

Still a chance! They have interviews Monday, sending out invites for virtual interviews for next Friday, and then the Dec 2nd is the last interview day! They have about 100 applications they haven’t looked at and about 30 on hold! And yes looking for another 30! She was at my school on Tuesday and said not to give up yet!

[futuredmd19]

did anyone get an email or call today for interview's next week?

 

[Current D1]

Does anyone happen to know the chances for being accepted after an interview (in-state resident)? Do GPA and DAT still matter after you get an interview?

I think what I've heard is that it's a 50% chance of being accepted after an interview, maybe lower. And yes, GPA and DAT still matter, among other things, because your application is being looked at holistically.

Got it. Thanks! I’m assuming the chances are definitely lower this year since they have interviewed more people than they did last year. So maybe more like 40% ish.

the stats for c/o 2024 are posted in the first post in this thread...

 

[Current D1]

You're welcome! Yeah from what I've heard they have a lot more people who interviewed this year so it probably is 40% ish.
And to be clear about where I got my numbers from, there was a flyer given to those who interviewed with the stats of their most recent accepted class. From the flyer it says 216 people were interviewed and 96 were accepted so it was a 44% chance of acceptance for those who interviewed.

 

[Maxima20]

There’s 2 days until Decision Day and I wish everyone the best of luck! I hope we all hear good news on Friday and just keep your heads up!

 

[futuredentbrown]

So no more interviews will be sent out even after December?

Do you know if they still are going to call or should we just assume auto rejection. My aadsas also is just invited for interview.

No clue, but no rejection/waitlist email, theres still a chance is my guess.

i think we’ll get an email soon if we’re rejected/waitlisted. i spoke with ms. perry and she said they finished interviews on dec. 2nd so if you didn’t hear anything today, you’ll hear something in a couple of days.

So do you think if I interviewed early I probably won’t be getting an acceptance at this point but the late interviewees are still being considered? That’s what it sounds like to me. 🙁
