Applied in early June and have not heard anything yet.

 

[pre-dentalgal]

I emailed them and they told me they aren't doing secondaries this year. Maybe they will only send emails for rejections/interviews/acceptance/waitlist

Fascinating, did they say why? Too much work?

 

[pre-dentalgal]

Fascinating, did they say why? Too much work?

all that she said: "Thank you for your interest in Midwestern University. This cycle we are not requiring a separate supplemental application. Have a nice day!"

I hope they will at least send us an email that the app was verified or received by the school and is under review...

 

[GlockieBae]

I got an email from them this morning and it asked me to submit a background knowledge form. Now my status is waiting for review.

 

[Dentin26]

I got an email from them this morning and it asked me to submit a background knowledge form. Now my status is waiting for review.

Did the subject of the email say AACOMAS? My subject line said that but I applied to AADSAS so I was wondering if it was just me.

 

[GlockieBae]

Did the subject of the email say AACOMAS? My subject line said that but I applied to AADSAS so I was wondering if it was just me.

I got two email one from Arizona and its AADSAS. The Illinois one is AACOMAS.

 

[allipaige]

Did the subject of the email say AACOMAS? My subject line said that but I applied to AADSAS so I was wondering if it was just me.

Mine said the same! But my MWU-AZ email said AADSAS. Guessing that was a universal thing?

 

[TheeRockChewer]

I got two email one from Arizona and its AADSAS. The Illinois one is AACOMAS.

Yep, and also weirdly enough it says my DAT is expired as a reapplicant.

 

[GlockieBae]

Mine said the same! But my MWU-AZ email said AADSAS. Guessing that was a universal thing?

I guess so. And they said it’ll take them 3-5 days to give a decision which makes me so nervous!!!

 

[predent123!]

Yep, and also weirdly enough it says my DAT is expired as a reapplicant.

Mine says expired too and i took it this year

 

[SaveTheChiclets]

My committee letter also includes all necessary individual LOR’s from my institution all submitted in one. My file still says awaiting LOR’s..should I email them to let them know, or will they see that already?

Same problem here.

 

[SaveTheChiclets]

Same problem here.

I'm thinking on sending them an e-mail to clarify, so it doesn't delay anything

 

[SaveTheChiclets]

Same problem here.

I did send them an email this morning, and they got back to me very quickly, marking my letters complete!

Did you email the general admissions email address that you got the original email from or a different address? I’m going to do the same!

 

[SaveTheChiclets]

Yes, original e-mail!

Does MWU-IL asks any ethical scenario based questions about a dentist one in an interview?

 

[TheeRockChewer]

Does MWU-IL asks any ethical scenario based questions about a dentist one in an interview?

Kinda. They do a group ethic scenario.

Hi fellow pre-dents! My application portal has said "status: awaiting decision" since August 2nd. How long does it usually take admissions to review the application and send out an interview invitation?

 

[Predent133]

Hi fellow pre-dents! My application portal has said "status: awaiting decision" since August 2nd. How long does it usually take admissions to review the application and send out an interview invitation?

Strange, my portal says “none” when I applied last year even with an interview I don’t remember it saying awaiting decision

 

[Predent133]

Hi fellow pre-dents! My application portal has said "status: awaiting decision" since August 2nd. How long does it usually take admissions to review the application and send out an interview invitation?

Are you referring to their online portal? If so, that portal is new this year. They’re also pretty late in terms of previous years with sending out invites so I’m not sure

 

[toothfairyyyy]

[toothfairyyyy]
