Yes, thank you everyone on SDN.
Thank you for sharing this long waiting period with us.

Right now, I am okay, since I havent received any interview invites yet. Half a month later, I will probably be like you.

By then, hopefully, someone can shine light on us, ya?

Why are you complaining ? at least you'll have several interviews to look forward to.

I am thankful I got some interviews, no complaining there...

it's just after that first one I couldn't help thinking what I did wrong...and became even more nervous....

I think it's not the matter of getting an interview or not...all this process is just adding up to a huge stress...

Sorry if I sounded like complaining ...

I'll make you aware of a fact that I'm sure you already know: You guys are going to have a great Christmas!

Enjoy yourselves when the holidays come, and take time out during Christmas break to weigh your decision on which school to attend.

Congrats to all the applicants for making it this far!

Urination and bowel movement once in a while relieves some of the "strains" of life.

Gavin is correct. Christmas (or, the Holiday season) will be early for many of you early birds this year.

Good Luck to all

Some advice to you worriers out there...step back, take a good look at where you are, and realize that it's very very very far ahead than many unfortunate people out there.

You'll soon realize that applications, interviews, and the time taken to fly/drive is not as bad as it seems. You guys are the cream of the crop, so don't fall short now. You've gotten here by being the person you are, and you're still that same person now...so why stress?

Everything...and I reiterate...EVERYTHING in life is not as complex as it seems. The hardest part about dental school is getting in. The most stressful part of dental school is Day 1 to Day 1460, and even these aren't as bad as they seem.

Life is much easier when you take it in strides, and occasionally step back to take in your position thus far. It's very humbling, and that makes things less stressful.

Your interviews are not there to freak the hell out of you...they're essentially a process for the admissions committee to see if you're who you said you were on paper. If you present yourself as you did in the application, or if you're even better in person, then you have nothing to worry about. The interview process is not a horrible one...and if it is, that particular school isn't your cup of tea.
