i didnt know about 200 people applying and only 80 getting interview calls! thats pretty exciting! I guess I shall see all of you on the 19th. There is a concert happening at Loma Linda this weekend, so all hotels are booked. Anyways good luck to all.

See you there!
 
hey guys, another question for ya, what to wear for the exam? I got scrubs and formal wear. just wondering what everybody will wear?
 
what is this case study we have to do?????
 
over 100? What's the chance of getting in... 1/5. That's a ridiculous odd. It shouldn't be like that.

That's a little rude, don't you think? I'm just saying what people are thinking. I'll see you at LLU tomorrow.

Actually those odds are pretty good, compare it to the traditional DDS program where there are usually over 2000 applicants for 95 slots at Loma Linda. I'll let you do the math..........🙂

hello dr. Mitchell
I was just curious to know that till what time the school will contact us regarding the interviews.

Thanks
 
121 students for 24 seats... plus when i went to LLU i m completely disappointed because of location. its far away from populated area .. i think difficult to get even few patient. I think rest all dental schools are near downtown or populated area. At some point i was thinkin y LLU hav such low number student applied now i know the reason 🙄..for me only reason to go for LLU is degree which matters ..😀

Any news from LLU.. I think they will start invite call after 11..
 
Hey guys i was called for an interview tomorrow at 8:30, i'm so glad to see Dr. Mitchel again 🙂,
Good luck to you all 🙂

This is a common concern for some about Loma Linda, others actually prefer a more out of the way campus and downtown LA is less than an hour away when there is no traffic. As far as patients go, there are plenty, you do not need to generate any of your own patients they are all assigned to you. (You can bring your own patients into the school if you would like but it is not necessary to meet requirements). Loma LInda actually attracts more patients than a couple of the schools located in the more populated areas. We actually periodically have to shut down our new patient application process because there are more patients in the pool than we can take care of in a timely manner. Adequate patient visits have never been a problem that I have ever seen.

Congratulations, don't be too disappointed if you don't see me, I'm back and busy at my regular job this week. I was asked if I could help admissions with some of the interviews but my schedule would not allow it. We are opening our new patient treatment technology center on Wednesday this week and I have a lot of duties (official and unofficial) to attend to. If you're here on Wednesday after 11:00 AM stop by and take a tour of the new facility. Every senior student (including IDP's 😀) will have a two week rotation through the center to treat their patients. It's very nice and a lot of work has been put into getting it ready. It is right next to the main clinic where you took your dexterity test, on the west side of the building. Dr. Mitchell
