you might be on "hold" 2pac. try calling them tomorrow and see what happens.
if you are on hold, they might be waiting for fall grades or something. gl
let me go reread that letter lol.

whhhhhat! no way
do you have upward trend?
UNLV rejection
Don't sweat it man. My first rejection was from UCSF. I got 7 interviews after that. It's still very early. If you have passion, you're going to get in.
well today is columbus day so some d schools are closed
Are you like my twin or something lol. I've also been rejected from the same schools you were rejected from.
Hang in there. I considered citalopram and valium to keep my nerves down. The former I legitimately got a prescription for.
Working out with a murderous rage also helps.
When you can't take it anymore, just go cry secretly in the bathroom. It's what I did a couple of times. Then I felt great afterwards.
Bottomline is you gotta get it out of your system.
Lol what are your statsDo you also have my stats?
Lol what are your stats
lonely
Out of the schools on your list, I think you can potentially have 3 interviews at the very least. This is based on my own stats also, of course.
Then why haven't I gotten anything?
no offense 2pac..but if you could raise your sgpa to 3.0
i'm pretty sure you will receive multiple interview invites..
agreed. if you can somehow get your masters up to a 3.5 you would be set.
Lol hes done his masters. Cant change gpa now.
Also i disagree, i think a 2.9 is really just no diff then a 3.0. I dont think adcoms will be like oh a 2.9....soooo diff then a 3.0. Not really. Therefore i dont think having a '3.0' scigpa would warrant a large diff in interview invites.
The only reason why the 2.9 might be causing probs is if schools have legit 3.0 automated cutoffs and 2pacclones been cut out from screenings and not even viewed. However if thats the case, then i believe his dat wouldve carried him thru. Maybe the fact that he only got a 3.3 in his MS is worrying adcoms. A 3.3 is not too impressive but also not bad. Soooo....maybe he'll get rereviewed for postdec
Also depends on dental expirience and if he has strong LORs.
Lol hes done his masters. Cant change gpa now.
Masters is a chance at redemption, doing well in a masters program is mandatory if you are in one to improve your GPA.
2Pac...you may still have some luck with spring interviews and an acceptance, but this should be a lesson to future applicants considering a masters (you must do very well in it)!
ive already done my plan b....what else can i do here?

I think you have done all you can unless you want to spend a bunch of money to keep doing more school to marginally improve your GPAs. It seems that its out of your hands at this point, so just hang in there and be patient this cycle.[/
It will look strange going from an MS program to a postbacc. Its generally the other way around. i think itd look a lil norm if u simulate an actual MS Program again in a postbacc form, ie take like 4 Grad level courses at once as a non matriculated student and ACE it not 3.3 it...$$$$$. And ud have to get on that asap for spring semester course selection and add it to ur planned courses during academic update. Or just totally wait to do the postbacc in the fall if no acceptances this cycle. Also at this point, what courses could there even be left to take that arent repeats. U gotta start being proactive and grilling schools. Be aggressive. Seriously.

i mean, i have no interviews so are you guys suggesting im all but screwed for this cycle?
it doesn't matter what we say. your stats are good, my guess is that you'll get spring interviews. but, call up the schools and ask them. they'll probably give you more insight.
spring interviews...like in feb or jan?
you're jumping to conclusion too quickly. Interviews will continue for months. You need to get off sdn and go relax. Do something fun
