For those accepted, how much is the deposit?

 

[JVNEC]

Any news on waitlist movement? Does anyone know if the class size is full ?

I’m wondering the same. I haven’t seen any movement on it yet.

 

[CherylSwoops]

have they sent a second round of acceptances yet?

 

[WiseWizzy]

have they sent a second round of acceptances yet?

I haven't heard anything. Interviewed mid-week of November. WL'd on D-day.

 

[JVNEC]

Still no news 🙁 Maybe we will see some movement during March

I’ve been browsing through some forums for the class of 2027 and 2028, and it’s got me a bit concerned. One applicant mentioned that Midwestern University rarely sends out rejection letters; instead, they either offer an acceptance or place applicants on a waitlist. If this is the case, how large is the waitlist and how quick will it move?

they will send out rejections eventually! re the waitlist, i feel like no one knows ;( During my interview they said they pull applicants off the list often

 

[drizzydrake527]

have they sent a second round of acceptances yet?

Yes over a week ago, a few people joined the groupMe after getting off the waitlist

 

[Leee6378]

[Sophdental]

did they say they got off the waitlist?

 

[JVNEC]

How do you know if its off the waitlist and not those who got accepted from post-december interview?

 

[JVNEC]

Also from previous SDN posts from last year, I heard they make their decisions on Fridays. Not sure but that's what I've read

I saw some movement in March based on last year’s thread.

 

[Sophdental]

i don’t think they’re going off by the book this years since they received more applications. i haven’t seen any january movement and last year they had a lot of it so idk

 

[sad1232]

Has there been any waitlist movement?

Hi all! Current student at MWU here... we set up a Facebook group and GroupMe to connect incoming students. Feel free to join using the links below, or search on the explore pages of each app to find it! I included names of both groups.

There is already a groupme with way more people...

 

[dental-dude]

didn't realize... thx

We don’t know if it’s full for all incoming students! Some might be faculty and others might be existing students that are there to talk to the incoming D1s. We don’t know for sure the number of seats that have been filled

Where did I say if its full for incoming students or not or make any assumptions??? I just said there is a group already posted by a user here that has more people than what dental dude posted.

I apologize, you did not make any assumptions I just interpreted it as that way so I guess I’m the one making assumptions, but I still stand by what I said.

I totally agree with the fact that not all people in the group are incoming students. There are many faculty people and and D2/D3/D4 students. And many students in there placed a deposit but might not even attend the school, some may have forgotten to leave the group.

I had my interview last week and they said they have "plenty of seats available still" for those worried about how many people are filling the gc or following the ig page. they also said they're interviewing till march.

Thank you for letting us know! Did they tell you how long it would take for you and your group to hear something?

 

[sufiteeth]

Thank you for letting us know! Did they tell you how long it would take for you and your group to hear something?

Yes! Sorry for the late response, they said it would take three weeks at least to hear back and told us not to expect anything less than three weeks from the day we were there. Its been pretty much a week and a half since my interview.

 

[Alessandra105]

I haven't received an interview invitation yet, does that mean I should plan to apply again next cycle?

Hope for the best and plan for the worst tbh



Has anyone who interviewed in January hear anything? If you could respond it would be great! Thank you!

 

[sad1232]

Any waitlist movement?

 

[rednation]

Any waitlist movement?

Still waitlisted

 

[CherylSwoops]

Same

 

[JVNEC]

same here

 

[CherylSwoops]

is the class full?

 

[deleted1158615]

is the class full?

Seems like its getting there faster than previous years.

 

[dds_student]

How can you tell how many people are already in the class?

 

[Sarah@123]

Will there me more interview invites this late in the cycle?

 

[predentalprincess21]

Yes! Sorry for the late response, they said it would take three weeks at least to hear back and told us not to expect anything less than three weeks from the day we were there. Its been pretty much a week and a half since my interview.

Have you heard back? I had an interview a few days after yours and haven’t heard anything

 

[hamiden]

I had my interview at the end of January. I haven't received the results yet. Do you know when I receive the news?

 

[deleted1158615]

No one knows at this rate when we will get a response. I have been waiting close to 2 months now without a single word from admissions. I don't know how long they are going to keep us in silence.

 

[latepredent]

For a letter of intent, is the best thing to do email it to admissions or upload it on the portal?

 

[sufiteeth]

I havent heard a thing. Tried calling too and no one picks up. Super odd.

Same story here… painstakingly waiting since October

With zero communication- so frustrating.

I’ve sent additional LORs and a letter on intent beginning of last month that makes a difference…

How do you know that makes a difference? Were you accepted after doing that? Ive done the same and still 🦗

Whoops forgot to add “hope” in my last reply and I haven’t been accepted still in waitlist 🙁

 

[soccer3]

I completed my interview at the beginning of January and was placed on the waitlist the next day. I sent a LOI about 1-2 weeks after that and was just accepted off their waitlist on Monday morning. Don't lose hope waitlist movement is happening!
