does anyone know what's going on w/ louisville and/or uky? do they usually take a while to send out interview invites? the status on my aadsas app says that my app is complete and under review or ready to be reviewed for both of the schools, but i was wondering if anyone had any extra info about when they'll start contacting people for interviews..thanks😀
 
Mine says the same thing as yours. Yesterday at 10:05AM, I received a call from Louisville, but I missed it. I didn't recognize the number, so I called it back. It was dental admissions at the school...but the woman I spoke with said "I have no idea why you would have gotten a call from our school, all of our correspond. is via email. Sorry, but I can't help you." AHHHH... Someone from that school called me and I don't know what they needed/wanted. I just want answers 😱
 
Just got my interview invite! My first one too

Its for the 15th, so they gave me just a little over a week to get a plane ticket and hotel.

Also, i'm taking my DAT on the 20th... so i've gotta study while on the interview I guess.

"wiggity wack".... homestar runner?
 
Congratulations! Louisville is finally starting to invite applicants.
 
Congrats mate!

Keep us posted on how it goes and the very best of luck to you!
 
now knowing this information has made me nervous :scared:, and i am now even more obsessive about checking my email, which i didn't think was possible 😱

i haven't heard a thing from either of these schools other than knowing my app. is complete/under review at each 🙁 . i feel like i am in limbo at these schools. how long should one wait before contacting them to find out what is going on? 😕
 
Kentucky first sent me supplemental app. via email. I filled it out and just over a week later (today) I recieved an invite for an interview.
 
i'm still waiting to hear from both of them as well. last year i can't remember when they invited me for an interview, but it was sometime in mid-september i think, so everybody keep your heads up and be on the look out for those e-mails! best of luck!

i am obsessively checking my email and aadsas!!!! :scared:
 
called louisville today and got a recording stating that they are requesting all applicants to not call to check on the status of their apps. until sept. 18th, so they must be reviewing a bunch of apps right now --- hopefully, some of us will hear something soon after that :luck: b/c i will definitely be calling sept. 19th 😳
 
now i won't be calling --- aadsas just updated and i got an interview invite (although didn't get an email 😕 to confirm date, anyone else have this issue?).

best of luck to everyone :luck: ; it seems like they are finally reviewing apps and people should start to hear from louisville!!!
 
i just got the e-mail today that my file is now complete. hopefully there will be an invite to interview coming along soon...best of luck y'all.
p.s. still nothing from kentucky for out of staters?

nope nothing from kentucky yet
 
For those of you who have received interviews at louisville, about how long did it take from the time you had submitted everything? Thanks!!! 🙂
 
i just got an e-mail from ky and they said my appl is "on HOLD for comparison" and they were going to wait to see how i measured up to other candidates before inviting me for an interview. a little bit of a let down, but it's not quite a solid rejection.

weird , i haven't heard anything from them lately. my aadsas still says "received/under review" for u.ky, and it has said that for a few weeks 😕

submitted aadsas 6/1

aadsas app mailed out 7/17

email from louisville requesting app fee 8/2

email stating app. fee received 8/29 and stating that all apps. must be complete meaning "-3 letters of recommendation (or one pre-dental committee
recommendation)
-Official DAT scores
-Paid application fee"

email 9/1 stating my app. was complete and under review

aadsas updated and interview email sent out 9/13

hope that helps 🙂
 
I got the same email from Louisville about my application being complete. . . I got a negative vibe from it, did you? Here's what it said:

This is to inform you that your application file is now complete and no further information is needed from you at this time. Our Admissions Committee will be reviewing your application file shortly. Because of the large number of applications, a decision may take a relatively long period of time.
Interviews are mandatory and by invitation of the Admissions Committee only. If you are selected for an interview, you will be contacted via e-mail. Note: A deadline to respond will be attached. The Committee schedules interviews on Mondays and Fridays starting in September. Only individuals who are being seriously considered for admission are invited.

Last year, we received approximately 2,428 applications for our 80 positions. Although a decision has not been made about the status of your application, we are unable to interview all the well-qualified applicants. Understand that we will continue considering you for an interview throughout the entire 2007 cycle.

We appreciate your promptness in supplying the follow-up credentials and will contact you if and when your status changes. Thank you for your interest! Best wishes in your quest to become a dentist.

i thought the same thing when i got that as well. i had several people read it b/c i was thinkging, "is this some kind of weird rejection set-up?" but then i got an invite to interview a couple of weeks later, so i guess it wasn't. but i agree it had a weird/negative vibe.
 
Thanks L !! That makes me feel better. Maybe I'll get an interview soon. *crosses fingers*

I got "HOLD for comparison" as well. Has anyone who is not a KY resident received an interview for KY?
 
I might have, meaning they sent an email telling me that I might get an interview if I fill out the secondary. BUT in the subject it says "UK invite to interview". I filled out the forms but had a hard time submitting them-I lost all of the information so I have to do it all over again😡

was your aadsas updated to read that or did you get an email from UK requesting you to fill out the supp. materials?

and, are you an in-state or out?

thanks
 
so, it seems that people's aadsas apps. are being updated by UK (ie. "on hold for comparison" or being requested to fill out the suppl. )

my status has said "received/under review" for WEEKS!!!!! 😡

i have no clue what is going on; has anyone called/emailed to find out what is going on with their app. ? AND how long did it take for the aadsas message to change from "under review" to "on hold"?

:scared: 😕

For those that have interviews at Lousiville, about how long did it take to hear from them after you received the email saying everything is complete and that it is going to the Admissions Committee for review? Also, are you KY residents or out-of-state? What are your stats like? Just to trying to measure up and see what my chances are at for an interview. Thanks.

will do!

goodluck to you on friday i believe!
 
I just got back from my interview at UK, seemed to go well. Start off the day at 9 am Mr. Bryan spoke for about 30 min. We then had one on one interviews, 30 min each (there are 2). They ask the standard questions and if you are in-state they ask if you will choose them over UofL (both my interviewers did, as they knew I am a student at UofL currently). After interviews we had a short break, followed by some presentations on Fin. aid and research opp. (15 min each). Had lunch with students and able to ask them questions without faculty around. This was followed up by Mr. Bryan closing with afew words and asking if there were any final questions. I had an enjoyable time and really liked the school.

Oh, and there were 6 of us being interviewed.
 
thanks for the info...we appreciate it
 
I got an email from UK stating that my application is on "HOLD for comparison." I am assuming this is a prolonged rejection. Does make me feel a little (very little) better because it is the only thing (besides two rejections) that I have heard. Anyone else get this from Kentucky too??

OOPS should have read this first.
