Hello everyone, I wanted to clarify some details and give some hope.

1. Letters of intent should be sent to Dr. Galka and CC to Calvin Mendez.

2. copy to Calvin in everything

3. Just because you send one letter, doesn't mean you will get noticed. It takes communicating, updating, reintating your intent if they called and you didn't receive one-I would reinstate my intent ( short email again copy Calvin, the very next day)

4. After March 15th ( Around that) applicants can not hold more than one school so I would make all contact possible before that day so your name pop up as interested and not only by a simple letter that a thousand of you are sending by now.

5. If you live close by, don’t be afraid to pass by and show your face. Have a meeting with Dr. Galka so she can go over your file and see how you can stand out. This are just some ideas. Your will and determination are the one that will make the difference in between I wish and I will.

Sorry by responding at this time, I have 2 finals this week, one final and a restoration exam next week and I don’t even know how many the following………I will survive 😭😂
As far as updating goes, how do we go about that? I feel like I email calvin when I have actual updates to my app. Plus the times I do contact him, it's been about the next acceptance time frame etc. Any suggestions???

Keep emailing them. I emailed like 4 or 5 times.

At what point should I consider my waitlist position to be a lost cause? (I interviewed in September and was waitlisted in December)
Does anyone know how late acceptances were granted in previous cycles?
 
Has anyone heard from the masters certificate program? I was accepted a few weeks ago but haven't been updated on anything
 
Does anyone know if there are any spots left in the dental school? I am still on the waitlist and they told me that they’re waiting for people to still drop the program.

I just tell myself that it's full because I've been on the waitlist since December and it's not good for my mental health to think that there could still be spots open lol
 
any idea if people drop during the first of classes? they start classes on monday
every once in a while someone will not show up or drop out in the first week of classes, but it's extremely rare, and i wouldn't depend on it happening...
