I just got an acceptance from my first choice school tonight (ok, well the only school that gave me an interview this cycle!!), so I thought I'd add a little inspiration for all of you still waiting on acceptances.

This is my 2nd time applying, I only was granted one interview. I have <3.0 sci gpa for undergrad, and a 3.8 grad gpa. My DAT was 18AA/19sci/17PAT. I am by no means a stellar applicant, but I never gave up. I had a horrible undergrad sci gpa, so I worked hard in grad school. My DAT scores are average compared to everyone on here, but I still got in!!!!!

I've been worried sick for the past 3 years trying to get into dental school, and it seems like its been an impossible battle, but I never gave up, and neither should any of you! I'm proof that if you want it enough, it will happen sooner or later!!!!!!

Thanks for all your great replies, it still hasn't quite sunk in yet.

I'm hoping that I am not the only one that recieved a first acceptance lately, there is still hope for everyone!

Sweet Jesus! Thats a really good school. You should definitely be proud...they don't just take anyone that strolls past their eyes!

Haha, thanks, but I guess being a state resident helps as well.

Good luck! The interview certainly was not stressful, other then my own worry! The interviewers were very nice, and the school is amazing, its all new and modern. I wouldn't stress about it at all!
