I was just wondering if anyone has been accepted or rejected from Loma Linda if they interviewed after the Dec. 1st deadline? I interviewed at Loma Linda on the 15th of Dec. and havent heard back from them either way. If anyone has some insight on this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
 
i got my interview this week...what were the instructions they gave you. perhaps you can call and ask.

btw how'd the interview go?

good luck,
Mike
 
A friend of mine just got ahold of them....they told him that he would know by March 1st. FYI. Good Luck.

the interview was very laided back.. i forget the name of the doctor that did the interview with me but he was the professor of anatomy for the dental school and med school.. it was pretty conversation like, he just wanted to get to know you.. you had to write a little essay beforehand.. there are something like 50 essays that they could potentially give you.. so i dont know what yours will be.. pretty straightforeword though..

i am going to call and ask tomorrow..

when did your friend interview there? and thanks..
 
i interviewed at 2nd week of Nov. 05 and i still have not hear back yet. some people i knew interviewed at nov. still have not hear back too. My interview went very well tho.
 
Sorry to hijack your thread but a real quick question..

Does Loma Linda ask for anything related to religion in their supplementary app? i.e. church involvement, a LOR from pastor..

Thanks!

oh really, so i guess i should stop worrying about hearing back soo soon.. they said that the adcom would meet in mid january.. i guess its just a waiting period..

have you called them or anything? and if you did, did they tell you about how long to expect until you hear from them?
 
ok so i called LLU today and ask about the status of my application becuase i have not hear back from them after my interveiw at Nov. The most she could tell me is that my file is ready to go to the committy, but she doesnt know when. but i also asked her to give me an estimate how full is the class and she said it's about 50% filled up already.
 
guys .......when you get an acceptance letter from Loma Linda, you have to say praise the lord 10 times.. 😀 😀

Mellow13, are you going to be attending LL in the fall then? Do you mind sharing your stats? Are you also a SDA? I was also interviewed there, but didn't hear back from them yet.

hey belle123. I'm 80% sure I'll end up attending LLU. I'm still waiting on word from UCLA. Here's my stats: GPA 3.86 science, 3.7 overall. DATs: AA-22, TS-24, PAT-22. Not sure what else you wanted. AADSAS mailed out my apps on Nov 3. hmmmm... Let me know if you needed more. I am SDA and I'm an alum of their PT school. Best of luck to you.
 
oh really, darn it.. did you get an email or just a letter in the mail.. i wonder if they have reviewed my application because the last time that i called which was last monday they said it hadnt gone to review.. do you know when your application was reviewed..

I got a letter. I don't know when they reviewed my file. I tried asking them a couple times but they said they can't give that information over the phone. I currently live in Montrose (Greater L.A.), near Burbank and Glendale.

Hey bluekty, congrats for getting accepted! When were you interviewed?
 
Rejection in a thin, skinny letter. So much for LLU.

I was interviewed on Jan 17th and my acceptance letter has a date on Jan 23rd. (I applied really late... My application was received in the middle of December)
Oh and the acceptance letter is thin skinny as well. I thought it was a rejection letter for 3 seconds.

Thanks. I was interviewed about two weeks before you, and I still haven't heard anything back from them. crap...

Who here is NOT SDA and got accepted to LLU and if so when was your interview? LLU is getting on my last nerve!!

I'm not SDA, and I was accepted. I intervied on Nov. 29th, and I got a letter of acceptance postmarked Dec. 13th.

By the way, you say that LLU is getting on your last nerve... which nerve is that, and what happened to all of the others?

jeppedo, what were your stats if you dont mind me asking?
 
do you guys really want to read bible before anatomy class, hold hands for lunch prayer before clinics, and spend half the chairside time trying to convert non-believers?

The school really isn't like that. They have Muslims, Mormons, Christians, Buddhists and other faiths at the school. The faculty members are diverse as well. They really push for diversity. I don't think it is even close to as pushy as people think.

Yes, because that is EXACTLY what us SDAs do. ig'nant 🙄

Loma Linda's handpieces are also shaped like a cross.
... and you will go to hell if you aren't circumcised ... you will be brainwashed if you join any religion ... Christians only do it missionary style ...
DAMN, stop stereotyping. That's like saying all dental students are Mormon or suicidal.

If anyone wants to know my stats PM me.

Loma Linda chicks are horny 👍
 
I think loma linda is the best cali school if u want to become a GOOD dentist. I haven't heard from LLU yet but I hope that I get in. I will let you all know when Jesus, I mean, Dr. whoever, tells me I'm in.
