Ok, so here is my problem...I've T-mobile and I'm on campus most of the day...and my phone does not have service at school!! 🙁 I know, it sucks terribly...I provided D schools with my home and cell number, but during the day, no one is at home to pick up the phone...Now my question is how do D schools contact you guys for interview? Is it through email, phone, or written mail? I'm a little worry with my phone and would like to know how you guys were contacted, thankx in advance!!😀
 
I have recieved interview invites and acceptances in email, phone, and letter form.

Only one school has called me. Everything else has been mail or e-mail.
 
All of my nine interview invites have come by snail mail and email, no calls.

Best of luck to you:luck:
 
I got e-mail, mail, and phone calls for the interview invites

In my case, the school sent me a letter in the mail with packets of other paperwork.

For another dental school, I simply checked my AADSAS status, then that dental school sent me a packet with a supplemental application, along with a letter telling me to call the admissions office to schedule an interview.

Good luck brothers.!
 
I'm interested to know.. for those of you who have been contacted by phone.. what were the schools?

I'm concerned about this mainly because I'll be out of country in August and I'm afraid I might miss the interview calls from schools.

If you don't answer the phone.. do they you leave a message? email you?
 
For schools that call, they will leave a message. Some schools assign you a date, which they expect you to attend, and others will ask you to call them back and schedule or schedule online.

If you miss their call its not a big deal, just check your messages every few days
 
thanx for the answer harjay!

I was also wondering.. for those schools that give you specific interview dates, how many days or weeks of notice did they give you?
