nope it shouldn't be! usually anything prior to decision day will be released on day of, otherwise it's pretty safe to assume waitlist. Post DD interviewees will generally hear back week of

Are calls done for first round?

 

[BigDreams3]

Looks like it. I was waiting by my phone all day unfortunately. I believe they will be sending out an email later today notifying us whether it was a rejection or waitlist. Congratulations to everyone who was accepted! Sending good luck and well wishes to everyone happy holidays!

 

[jonarmijo]

Did anyone receive an email about rejection or waitlist? I haven't received any correspondent

 

[BigDreams3]

Same here. Anyone know if they’ll be calling today?

I received an email early this morning at about 9:52 Central time. It seems like there will not be any more offers for the month of December and that they will continue with offers in January and February.

 

[jonarmijo]

Has anyone received an interview recently?

[AdvantageousT]

I’m not sure. I was actually out of the country on a humanitarian trip, so I didn’t even see the missed call until the day after.

 

[dental10101]

Nope nothing yet :/

I also interviewed in early February and haven't heard back.

 

[hopefuldentistloading]

I also interviewed a month and change ago and haven’t heard back. Hoping to hear soon as the people who put down multiple deposits have until tomorrow to make a decision.

 

[predentalfairy101]

has anyone heard back yet? starting to get a bit confused why i haven't heard anything back since my interview (early feb). but from what i heard from people, i think they already filled their class.

Is it true they filled their class? Where did you hear it from?

 

[Ryxndek]

Their class is only 35 students. It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s full already but things could change

Would they wait until everyone commits before they send out rejections/waitlist?

It might be more of a soft rejection or waitlist. I’m not sure, each school fills their classes in their own way. You could reach out to the school directly and ask them or keep waiting. It is a private school and it is insanely expensive so may some folks will drop their seats if they get somewhere cheaper.

Thanks for the quick response! What’s a soft rejection?

 

[Ryxndek]

They basically ghost you and don’t say anything

 

[smilingpup]

I think it’s similar to an internal waitlist or rejection. So the school has a list but hasn’t sent out an official notice to the students yet.

They have not filled their class. I interviewed in late Feb and they still had seats available

When you interviewed, did they say when they will get back to you after the interview?

 

[predentalfairy101]

When I interviewed, they said 2 weeks to a few months

 

[entireparsley]

Well they told me we would know within 1-2 weeks but clearly that isn’t the case as nobody here has heard anything

I've talked to two people who got in early last week, so people are hearing back.

Do you know when they interviewed?
