I just received an interview offer and the only day available is at the end of March! Is anyone else seeing interview offers only this late? I am worried that by the time I interview, all of the program's seats will be full already.

So the way they are doing interview slots is by having people choose their times and dates. This means anyone who got invited to an interview in like June or July got availability for this fall/winter. Meanwhile, people like me who received an invite mid-August have MUCH later available slots to work with. Mine is at the beginning of March. BUT The only accepts a chunk of people who are interviewing in the next couple months then they will take another chunk who are interviewing next year so they won't fill up their seats entirely until they have interviewed everyone they invited. That wouldn't be fair lol.

I did call them up and ask and they told me all earlier slots to choose from were taken already. I also followed this thread and figured out this school allows us to choose our interview dates. I could've chosen a later date in March if I wanted to.

Oh! That's what u meant, no I didn't ask about that. But I do know that dental schools (obviously not all) keep sending invites to interviews and accepting people until their class is full.

I guess I was under the assumption that they will fill their class with acceptances on the 15th and then keep interviewing to fill the spots of anyone that declines. Not that they save spots for later interview dates since it's rolling interview status.

I think I worded the end of my first response incorrectly. What I meant was that some schools with later interviews (like March) have you interviewing for a waitlist or for a seat anyone declines. You will be interviewed but what varies is what the school is gonna set your status as. For a rolling admissions school, they may have close to the entire class filled by the first round of acceptances in December and then continue accepting throughout the rest of the cycle but that doesn't guarantee u will be interviewing with the class not filled yet; it could very well be completely filled at that time.

Not sure of there are any dental schools that do block interviews/acceptances based on when you applied but I think I was referencing that kind of process bc that has happened in med schools.

all dental schools operate on rolling admissions
just because med schools do it doesn't mean that dental schools do...

I had been on the interview waitlist since 7/22 and haven't heard from them since then. Do you guys think writing a letter of interest would help?

Call and ask why you were put on the waitlist, listen to what they say, then do something with your application that gives them a reason to pull off the waitlist. Hope this helps!

I was initially scheduled for March 26, 2024 but was religiously monitoring the portal to find an open date. If you monitor the interview invite portal, you might be able to find an earlier day in case someone cancels. They did say that once November hits, it is less likely for interview cancellations from other candidates and better chance for interview rescheduling after Dec 15.

They told us at a meeting in July that they were booked out till December so I think you would have to look out for cancellations. We had two in my group/ for my date.
 
Just checked the portal and I am allowed to schedule an interview. Last I heard, I was waitlisted. Super excited! However, there are no dates available to schedule. Anyone else in the same boat?
 
Hello all,

For those who’ve interviewed before, is the interview open or closed file? “Regular” interview questions or “random/hypothetical scenarios” type?
My interview is coming and kinda nervous.

My interviewer said its closed file but she does have access to the application if needed. In terms of question type, its a combination of regular normal interview questions as well as situational scenarios question type.

Thank you! I tend to prefer situational questions to the standard interview questions honestly.
