Hey ther UABDentist
Nope..Atleast I havent done MPH.

I think they would definately take into consideration that you are graduating only AFter the dental school begins..
dont have an answer as to how u shud answer 'when r u graduting'...mebbe others can help...
but serious question to think abt..What if u were given a position at Penn,...r u willing to give up/postpone ur graduation since u wil be startin in summer..??

But afterall...who knows/who cares.....they might be blown by ur interview in feb...and rewrite history 😀

Dude here BTW....
I know its a deep question i need to think about..... I am willing to leave my current degree for UPenn... But dont know how they will react to it...
TO be honest If they r too stingy about me completing my MPH first.. then I dont stand a chance...
I do have BU though in my pocket!
Thanks K9... Im glad u replied...
I'll make sure I give it my bestest best that day!
Thanks for your wishes..and gud luck with ur UPenn position
 
hi,
well as far as my experience goes they do take into account if ur done with ur MPH or not.i have good stats ie part 1 -98 gpa 4 and interviews went off well as per my knowledge.people did warn me before that UPENN rarely takes anyone in middle of another course.anyway who knows u may be lucky to get in.

Hey Aravind,

I know you had mentioned about yourself before and it's made me even more concerned... but i know its no use stressing myself...
I'm going to live by the day..and not fret about what Ive not seen....
Whatever comes of it...... I will know in a few months... Its not too long or so to say!

Im probably going to tell them,.. that i will have one sem left later.. if they want me.. its fine... else I cant help either...
And i think u had said the same about your MPH....Thanks for writing in...
If there are any quick tit bits you can think of.... Let me know...
Well Bless ya'll at the other end!!
 
hi everybody, I got admission to UPENN, but still have a pending interview at BU in Feb, should I still attend? 😕
given that the summer course is so expensive and no financial aid available for that, I'm tempted to give it a try at BU, I need some advice :scared:
 
Drop Everything Else And Head For Upenn. People Are Dying To Get In There And Here You Are Considering It? Do Not Make Such A Mistake.
 
Congrats.
I remember a post in one U Penn thread that compared the over all costs b/w U Penn and BU. After considering cost of living, Laptop, etc., at BU they both evened out I think. If you can find that post it will be of good help in deciding.

Hi, gtdoc

If you have an interview call from Boston University ..which is also a top dental school in the United States..I do not see any harm in going for the interview ....................it is great that you have been called at BU when so many of the students are practically waiting to hear from them ....and then deciding on your choices ..both are great schools , but ofcousre that BU does not have the summer program like Penn and the extra money that you have to pay at penn !! and also BU the program .... is of a short duration ..compared to penn ..
My advice ..go for interview at BU ..you have a great chance to check out a good school...you have nothing to lose
All the best 👍
Toothzone
 
I totally agree with Toothzone,you got nothing to lose!!!.Give it a shot.
 
what is UPenn primarily looking for in applicants...experience, high board scores/gpa?

For those who've been accepted, does anyone know when the tuition for the summer term is due? Do they divide it up over or ask for the full amount at the same time? Thanks

Upenn says they are deciding on us and will be done by tmrw or day after... I cant wait any longer... I hope I get thru...
I have such mixed feelings about this whole thing... my heart wants me to think I'll get in... but my mind makes me feel i'll not be chosen. I've never been so obsessed about anything in my life...( not even my girl friend..lol!). I just want to hear that I got thru...
I know all of us want that Fedex.....and this wait is the worst of its kind!
All the best folks!
God bless and cheers~

Hi people, someone said " dont worry if tommorrow will come because it is already tommorrow at Australia. It is one of two things possitive or negative.We all hope it will be the latter.Whatever the case, we all have much good to shear.becauese life must continue.

All the best to all.
