Ok, so some info from my interview.
Dr. Ritchie said they accepted 36 people on Dec 1st.
Be early! One person was on time or a little late and we were all sitting around waiting.
1st is a little intro talk. Then you do the chalk. It is not too bad, just practice. Then you split and go into two groups. Half do the one on one Profile Interview and the others go on a tour. Then you switch. The one on one is the questions talked about above. There are some "ethics" ones that are added. Not to bad. Then lunch with students where they will tell you the 3 on 1 is nothing. Well, it is not bad, but it wasn't just sitting around talking about football or something. They ask about your low points, so be prepared.
Dr. Ritchie told us the committee was meeting on Mon Dec 6th and we could call him that day after 2. So he should tell you when the committee meets so you can call to find out your fate (Acc/Deferred/Rej). Very stressfull phone call to say the least.
It is still not real yet, but I am accepted to LSU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck to everyone.

Congrats on the interview invite! See my post above for the breakdown of the interview day. Practice your chalk. Dr. Ritchie said they have already had someone who did not get in because of their chalk. You don't have to be perfect, but if you have never practiced, it can be deal breaker. There are 8 people invited to interview each Friday. On the first page of this thread, there is a link to some interview questions that are asked in the 1 on 1 interview. Good Luck!

Thanks Mud 🙂 and a quick question, did u receive an email from : studentedition.certiphi with the subject: Reminder, background check consent request? I deleted at first glance 'cuz I thought it's a scam then when I read some threads on here, they said it's legit. Did you completed it yet and was LSU on the list of the schools that requires background check? I still feel very uneasy about this email. Thanks again!
I got the same email yesterday but dont remember getting it the first time so i thought it was a little questionable as well. Especially when i logged in and it said to pay $150! I am calling Mrs. Ritchie this afternoon to ask about it. And congrats to everyone getting in and getting interviews!
I just talked to Mrs. Pat and she said LSU does not require the background check and unless you applied to another school that requires it that you are interested in attending there is no reason to pay. And also there is a facebook page for us! she said to search LSUSD Class of 2015 and they will be putting info up on that for us!
Thank you so much! I have been carving, a little nervous!! Hope im in your class!!! I wonder how many people are accepted so far?!

Hey guys congrats to those above who have been accepted and good luck with the upcoming interview. I was also accepted and when dropping off my deposit was told that there are currently 51 or so accepted. I was told that there will be about 50 people competing for the final spots. At my interview a girl mentioned that she was told by Dr. Ritchie that there would be interviews up until Dec 17. Then two more interview groups following the break. Good luck to those still with interviews!!!

Dream, I never got the first email or the second reminder email. I only received the error email yesterday. I then got on SDN to see Carodent's post. Thanks for calling and posting Carodent.
Congrats tigertooth and thanks for the update.

I have a quick question if you dont mind, were there any political questions asked during your interview?

Not that I remember, just ethical scenarios. For example, there was nothing on healthcare reform or Medicare reimbursement. Just be prepared for questions about your low points (ie. low grade in "X", low DAT section, etc.). Good luck!

I was wondering if anyone was able to find the Facebook group for the class of 2015. I saw it mentioned above and I was also told about it by Mrs. Ritchie at the dental school but couldn't find it. They may not have set it up yet.
