Members don't see this ad.

Did others those who interviewed but did not hear on dec15 get placed on a alternate list as well?

 

[annieee2323]

There was an email sent out that said you were waitlisted. If you received that email on 1/4 and already interviewed that means you were waitlisted.

I was placed on a “alternate list”. Is that what you were talking about? Did everyone who interviewed get that if they weren’t accepted or only select people?

 

[TheeRockChewer]

will the bulk of calls happen on the 15th or the 16th?
Sorry but I'm just so stressed* out- This is my third attempt.

Im not sure if the school is open tomorrow due to the Holliday.

 

[TheeRockChewer]

Wishing everyone all the best for tomorrow! Hoping for some good news 🙂

imma be bald by the 31st

 

[macsak]

do you think they will wait until the 31st?

no

 

[whenigrowupiwannabanOT]

Got an offical waitlist email

Same What were ur stats?

 

[student707]

just declined my offer, good luck to all waitlisted!

 

[2024Dental]

i think select people i dont think they waitlisted everyone who interviewed

I haven’t seen anyone post that they were rejected… So did they place everyone who interviewed and weren’t accepted on waitlist?

 

[predental0417]

I wonder if they will call people off the waitlist today.

 

[Jmsomoo]

I was placed on the waitlist (alternate list) on Jan 4th. Literally started working a lot of hours at a dental office just to keep my mind off this. I paid my deposit to TUFTS but this school was my first option. My question is, can dental schools see on AADSAS that you have been accepted at other universities? Born and raised in Chicago so not getting accepted here just stings lol.

lol
it's been less than 3 days since deposits were due
and weather across the midwest has been bad
and MW-IL is one of the most expensive schools in the country, therefore their WL moves a ton
trust the process...

I honestly didn’t get many ethical questions. If I did get any they were very easy to answer and, although i prepared thoroughly for my interviews, I feel like this one did not require much preparation. As long as you’ve really reflected on your dental journey and what you bring to the table, you’ll be fine.

Were you contacted by phone or email for the interview?
I went into my portal last week and there was a message for me to verify my contact info. Apparently, my phone # in the record was wrong so I corrected it.

 

[TheeRockChewer]

Crazy how they didnt make phone calls this week

I think I heard of people being accepted, just a few however.

If anyone can answer, would it be okay if I email them asking them how many seats they have left?

Up until 2 weeks ago they were getting back to students in about a week. Now they’ve gone silent…

 

[jaysonddshopeful]

At least you had your interview. I'm one of those who hasn't heard anything, not even a rejection email.
Is anyone in the same situation as I?

yeah, lots of us are WL.

 

[predental0417]

Is anyone planning to follow-up? I sent a letter of intent a month ago and still have not heard anything back.

I sent a letter of intent but all i received was something along the lines of thanks for your email we’ll put it with your application..

 

[jaysonddshopeful]

I haven't even received an interview and my adea status remains at "none".

I sent an update after my letter of intent with some community service I’ve done and they said it was added to my app but haven’t heard anything else

 

[predentaltoothfairy]

if anyone wants to join me in retaking the DATs, im looking to share a bootcamp account!!

 

[cteefs]

Some advice for those who are going to reapply. Don’t lose hope you can still get in. People have heard up until a week before classes start! But if you want to ensure the best chance do a masters in the next year with something to do with science. I did a masters in physiology and biophysics and it helped me get in with my second time applying to MW!

 

[TheeRockChewer]

God help me, I don't wanna become a minecraft youtuber

Thanks for the encouragement but how do you plan for masters when the schools may accept you very late, near when classes begin? Do I apply for masters and cancel it if I get accepted to a dental school?
