Early decision

[bigbutrealdreams]

Hola!!

Do dental schools offer early decision?
Can I apply to my top choice above all other dental schools (like I did for college)?

Thanks =)

Rolling admissions. First come, first served.

They don't review all applications at once and make one round of decisions.

Excellent info! Thank you! But how do they decide whom to interview 1st? How to secure an interview in September?

Also... is it safe to go abroad for the summer, or should I stay in the U.S. just in case an interview pops up?

To answer your second question: have an awesome app, apply early, and hope the admissions gods are feeling generous that day

To your third question: yeah, you're good. Most interviews will be late fall.

Schools start sending out invites for interviews as early as late July. If you have access to your email abroad and can schedule possible interviews, you will be fine. I would plan to be back by late July if not. You will need to be around in early June to submit your application, get the necessary paperwork in, etc. and that process takes a couple weeks, then you will be getting emails, possibly, from schools for secondary applications that will need to be sent off, usually within a short timeframe, before they extend interview invites. It's not the best summer to take off overseas.
