Hello everyone,

So I received an email from Case saying I was "on deck" for the next offer to the class of 2013. However, the class if currently full. I feel like I wouldn't have received this email if they didn't expect someone to withdraw between now and August. I am not sure how common this is for people to withdraw after making the non-refundable deposit.

My DAT is 20/19 and I have a 3.8 Master's GPA and 3.2 undergrad. I have been studying for the DAT again to retake sometime in late July. Does anybody have any experience with my situation or have any advice for me? I planned to purchase about $450 more worth of study material and then reapplying to 10-15 schools would cost me another $2000. I am not made of money..

I feel like I should still study but really dont want to dish out all this money just to find out I have a spot in the class of 2017. After all, I could be waiting until August just to find out that I DONT have a spot. I just feel like I am in a predicament and I can't figure out the best path.

If I find out I don't have a spot I would be sending in my new AADSAS application in August and would be at a major disadvantage to those who applied in July.

Any comments are greatly appreciated!

doesn't hurt to wait. i'd wait until July and see if anything has happened. You can still apply early enough in July

Nice! I am in the middle third of the alternate list so I think my chances there are over but I think you will get in soon, so wait on submitting your application. It wont hurt to get your ap ready though.

If you are next for the waiting list to Case in June, I'd say you're going to Case...

Congrats on getting in.👍

I appreciate your optimism!! I just wonder though since the class is full..It would be my luck that nobody drops their spot this summer.

Case has been doing this dental school/admissions thing for a while. If they're telling you that you're on deck, they probably really anticipating something based on the past. Schools don't start for a couple of months at least. Stuff happens. When did you apply last cycle? 3.8 masters and 20AA seems pretty decent.

I applied as soon as apps came out last cycle, so early June. And for everybody's information, I just received an acceptance letter this morning!

Thanks everyone! It has been one long rollercoaster ride and I'm glad it has finally come to an end. And to think it only took me 3 years after graduating college!!! 😀

congrats man. Happy for you. Hopefully, at this time next year, I'm getting ready to empty my apartment and move to where I get accepted to dental school. Hopefully.

Keep your head up. My advisor told me if I wanted it bad enough it would happen no matter what. Just keep telling yourself that
