maybe you use UPPERCAPs when you write your Personal Statement?

I was about to say the exact same thing. Punctuation and proper capitalization are very important for personal statements...

 

[dantemac]

Don't worry, maybe they review them in a certain order or something

 

[jeffity]

Did you both submit at the same time?
Were your apps complete at the same time?
Were your ECs the same?
Letters from the same professors?
Same spin on the big wheel of dental school luck?

Grades and DAT mean a lot, but unless you answered yes to all of those questions you're hardly identical applicants.

And I'm disregarding the personal statement comment. You can't praise your own junk like that.

You'll be fine. Good things are on the way for you.

Your humility is so appealing.

Heaven forbid your friend ever sees your posts.


I'm sure it was just a matter of chance. Calm down.

If this will make you feel better.
I have a 22/22/20 with 3.85 o and sGPA. TX resident. Got no interview with 3 TX and 9 OOS schools(well, I applied to many not OOS friendly schools, so not their fault). I still can't figure out why TX schools don't like my application. With TX's average, shouldn't I at least get one interview!?

This year, I also applied to TX and a lot more OOS schools and got no TX interview so far, but 5 OOS interviews that I hadn't applied to last year.

My stats are about the same with a few more community college classes and more shadowing hours. Random things happen. I am sure you will go somewhere 🙂

 

[yappy]

maybe you got flamed by one of your LOR writes b/c you're an arrogent jerk lol.

Does anyone know how long Lecom will interview for? has anyone talked with them? I'm thinking of applying to this school.

 

[NguyenDDS]

Look on the bright side... at least you got an interview at MWU-AZ so far, right? 🙂

Every school has different criteria and have different "taste" if you will. Your stats are good, so I think you have nothing to worry about!! 🙂 Try to be HAPPY for your friend... not negative about it.

Not to mention the impressive grammatical skills... for the love of all that is holy, please use a comma every now and then. Periods also work great, hell i would even take a hyphen.

In all seriousness though, just be patient i assure you that you will receive plenty of interviews. Just don't blow it, by coming off as a pompous ass as your posts have implied.

 

[crax]

youre acting pretty immature to be honest, if i were a new dental school adcom I would be looking for more mature, respectable applicants. I'd accept those "lower" stats anyday.

And why aren't you just congratulating your friend? You realize you can't do anything else at this point? You realize you had 3+ years of undergrad/post-bacc/whatever to make your application attractive enough to garner interviews? Your stats are fine. You may still get an interview, but if I were you, I'd learn some humility before going in front of an adcom.

 

[shareshab]

The Admissions Committee has reviewed your file and a decision has not yet been made regarding an interview. Your file will be re-reviewed by the Admissions Committee in 60 days. !!!!!!!!😡😡😡 WTF why did they do that ?!! if they are not happy with mt stats just reject me 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡:mad

KittySquared, you provide SDN with the best .gifs.
I thank you for that. You never fail to smack a smirk on my face. 🙂

Just call the admissions office and politely ask if they can reject you. Problem solved.

 

[shareshab]

any body knows what their problem is ?

 

[Dynamo]

I can understand the frustration here.
mayyyyyyybe, they rejected you because they figure you are competitive enough to get into your home school- just sayin, its been known to happen

 

[OCDFlosser]

What did you get on the reading section for the DAT?

Considering LECOM is using this "problem-based learning" curriculum, I would imagine that they put a strong emphasis on the RC section.

And also consider..

Extracurricular activities, volunteering, dental experience, etc.

Nonetheless, I'm sure the most upsetting part is that your friend got an interview and you didn't. I assure you that your pride will be restored when all the other dental schools pick you over him for interviews...

MY STATEMENT IS MUCH MUCH BETTER THAN HIS

Your stats (21 18 18 ) are great fo sho'!

But how can one PS be better than another? PS is just that: personal considering this applicant's unique situation.

He is my close friend and I helped him a lot for his application , I got interview from Midwestern but they rejected him , ALSO I know what his P.S is about , I hope he will get in to this school 🙂 BUT I am really surprise why should a dental school choose lower DAT (18 17 16 )and put on hold a 21 DAT , This is what I do not understand at all , I call it luck !👎 (AND again in all area I think I did better than him = 150 hrs shadowing , he did 100 , I have work experience in hospital for over 3 years and he does not have any )

 

[Accent]

I know someone who had AA 25 and GPA 3.8 and he didn't get interviews at every school applied. If scores were everything, people with DAT under 25 and GPA under 4.0 would never have a chance.

You have an interview and so does your friend, just not at the same schools. You should be happy. You'll have more interviews to come, don't let something like this get you so frustrated. Make use of that energy and prep for your interview. Good luck!

Maybe they think you settled for dentistry because you didn't get into medical school?

 

[lululime]

Yeah, I heard that schools can find out if you applied to med. I don't know if they have a legit way of finding out if they don't point blank ask on their secondary.... =S
