UNC and Michigan were pretty much tied for my top choice. I jokingly was hoping only one would accept me so I didn’t have to choose and I guess I got what I was wishing for lol. Michigan gave me a scholarship so I took it and didn’t wanna hold my spot at UNC over someone who was waiting for that!

What....don't remove yourself from that wait list. Cross that bridge when it comes. No need to burn it down already.
 
Attending Michigan, declined my spots at Rutgers, Pitt, NOVA, BU, and Touro. Still waiting to hear back from one more school after post-dec interview but I’d only attend if offered a scholarship. Best of luck to those on the waitlists or still waiting to hear back!!!

Congrats! What made you choose UNLV?

I wanted a really clinical heavy school and UNLV's program impressed me so much! Getting to place implants as a dental student is really a cool opportunity too 🙂
 
I will probably be turning down Creighton after paying deposit and attending Oklahoma! Good luck!

I did not know that Creighton even offered a half tuition scholarship! Congratulations! Did you ask for it or was it in your acceptance packet?

It's a special thing with the state of Idaho, I do 1 year in Idaho and 3 years in Creighton. It's to help with having dentists from Idaho because we have no dental schools

What made you turn down Penn and Columbia in favor of Stony Brook? Just interested.

Mainly cost, somewhat location in cost of living and transportation. I'm not a huge fan of city environments and wanted to stay closer to home. I want to specialize, but not totally sure. I loved Penn and Columbia, but cost outweighed it for me. Congrats on Harvard, great school!

Declining two Texas schools for MWU-AZ? Are your parents paying for school, do you have the HPSP?

MWU-AZ combined with an HPSP scholarship is a steal. Even though I got an amazing deal at UMKC, I still wonder if I should’ve went that route.

Hopefully the military branches get those results out soon™, they sure are taking their sweet time

Declined Offer at: LECOM, Indiana, MOSDOH, Midwestern AZ, Western, Dalhousie, Roseman, Louisville

Congrats! Welcome to the Penntist club!
 
Well it's been a very difficult decision, but I have finally decided that next year I will be attending Creighton University. I will be turning down an offer from UMKC, declined interviews from ASDOH, MOSDOH, and rejected w/o interview from OU.

Congrats, Creighton is a damn good school. I really want to go there but UMKC is way cheaper. Did they not offer you any scholarships?

Thanks! But nope no scholarships. I can understand that though, that's the main reason that made my decision so difficult. But I feel like I will be more prepared going to Creighton and have a better experience so I figured it'd be worth the risk of getting a little more debt.
 
I will be attending Columbia and turning down acceptances from Pitt, CWRU, NYU (legacy), Rutgers, and Penn. No word from BU, Tufts, or Harvard even though I'm IS. Turned down interviews at UMich, Touro, and USC. Didn't bother to wait and see whether I got off the UConn waitlist. Heard nothing from UoP and Stony Brook (update: I was rejected lol).

I'm weirdly sad the process is over, it made me stressed/exhilarated in a good way haha. Anyway, best of luck to everyone else out there!
