When do schools usually send their rejections?? Until the very end of app cycle (2014 spring) or immediately?
Depends on the schools really.
I know NOVA and Midwestern send out their rejections very quickly.
Based on my experience, some schools, like NYU, take their sweet time sending their rejections.

Depends on school, Nova and LECOM have already sent out some rejections.
any other state schools that send rejections earlly?
University of Iowa lets people know that they will not be asked to interview after their application is initially processed by sending out a letter deferring applicants.
You'll get an email or mail saying that they're regret that you were not selected, and it was highly competitive, and they'll wish you good luck.

Just remember that they'll only reject you after you paid their ludicrous secondary fees.
Lol, it's a copy paste thing, and that's what we paid for actually.

I pretty much did. Iowa emailed me and said my application is deferred, meaning it's placed on hold and I won't get an interview or a supplemental. They'll email me if they start to review my application again.
So it's not a straight up rejection I suppose, but I count it as one.

I got a rejection email from my first choice on Oct. 3rd. It says something like "Thank you for your interest in our DDS program blah blah.. Over ___ applications were received blah blah. We reserve ___ spots for OOS applicants blah blah . To be competitive, applicants must have ___GPA, ___DAT blah blah. We encourage you to _____" It doesn't have the word "rejected" or "denied" but you can tell that I got DENIED.
I applied to 11 schools. I got 4 interviews and haven't heard anything at all from the rest. Is no news good news? Are they just waiting until after Dec. 1st when people start turning down seats at their school to interview the people they haven't rejected yet?
Some schools do have post-December interviews but according to what I've read, more than 80 percent interviews have been given out at this point. But hey, you got 4.
What, lol?
Well.. it's according to what I've read here last week. Someone posted a reply and said he/she spoke to adcoms and they told him that.
I think over 80% is a pretty extreme percentage. It's probably around 70% and that is at schools who've been interviewing for a while. But schools like Tufts, Boston, Touro, Midwestern IL (among some) just interviewed the first couple interview groups very recently. So I doubt 80%, or worse more, of their classes are filled by now.
