If we ask them to waive the deposit or have it extended until April will they do that if we promise to attend? Idk how people are paying for this / getting the money for this in a pandemic...........

No I’m not international, but I’d say 4 out of 12 in my group were international.

interview was very nice, me and the interviewer actually had similar hobbies so the interview was very casual.

You had a group interview as well as a one-on-one? Or was this in the intro session?
 
invited for interview today. Was wondering if my chances of acceptance would be low since I'm interviewing post-December

It was incredibly conversational. As long as you have a basic knowledge of dentistry and can recall some shadowing experience and have looked into NYU a little you'll be 100% fine. My interviewer and I were laughing and having a good time. They're very kind people just be natural.

Hey guys! I have my interview on Jan 29. I know.. that's the closest date before the end of the application cycle, so it will be very competitive for me to get my spot. Right now, I have no doubt that I'll be also performing well and enjoying the interview just like most of you guys said. But I just want to know how my stats will guarantee my admission. So far, NYU is the only hope I have. And did you guys hear back about the admission decision right after you finished the interview?

GPA: 3.94/4.00
DAT: AA25/TS25/PA24/RC22

I believe decisions go out first 2 weeks of February. Some people mention getting an acceptance the next day so you should also fall into that timeline.

Some people said their interviewers were not dentistry-related faculties. Do they still ask you about dentistry in depth?
 
Oh! and does the interviewer ask us about ethical questions or other scenario questions?

My interviewer was a dentist. A global speaker. We talked about implants because he’s done research on implants and we also discussed NYUs notoriety in the world. We just talked. It wasn’t so much question and answer. And the questions he did ask were just about myself. THOUGH I have to stress each interviewer is different. I have no idea the hand you might be dealt. Practice SDN previous questions and you should be fine.
 
For those of you who've already interviewed, is the interview on Zoom? I only got an interview schedule, but it didn't specify the platform.

the group session is on zoom and the actual interview with faculty and admissions is on another platform.

I ended up writing a completely different essay for the AADSAS essay and the portal. To answer "Why NYU is a good fit" I wrote more about how NYU's diversity, location, and outreach is where I would feel comfortable and be able to fit in.

I have my interview soon but I never received an interview questionnaire. When/where did they send that for you?

Click to expand...
The group session he’s referring to isn’t an interview. It’s just asking current students any questions you might have. The administrator also leaves so it’s just your group and the student. Not a determining factor in your interview just strictly for your curiosity.

Okay, thank you! I had a couple more questions, can I PM you?
 
DDS2025 said:
can anyone give me some insights on choosing dental school between Tufts and NYU? I want to live in NY but Tufts's new facility and low faculty:student ratio is appealing..I'm not yet sure about whether I will specialize or not
Click to expand...
Tufts estimated cost of you take out full amount is around 592k and NYU is around 658k factoring in interest, COL, and what not for both. NYU has small clinical groups that seperate amongst their large class. This break you into a group of 30 So it’s factored in a way where you have a good faculty to student ratio. NYU also has great facilities. I don’t know too much about Tufts though.
 
DDS2025 said:
are you currently a student at NYU? cost of living doesn't matter to me since it's not that big of a difference
Click to expand...
No but they talked about it in an interview and I have a good friend that goes there
 
DDS2025 said:
I see, I also heard about 20 out of 380~D1s or D2s repeat their academic years. Is it true?
Click to expand...
Yes that part is true. But that’s not because of the education. Majority of students who attend love the education. I can’t attest to exact reasons because I’m not a student but I would assume it’s partly due to people not managing time well due to the active nightlife. The students were mentioning there were some individuals in their class that go out everynight. There were also some courses that a test decided your grade to which they removed recently and it’s less impactful. But my friend isn’t someone who would sugarcoat for a school as we grew up together and he said he loves the faculty and lectures.

I saw it thank you! Did you fill out the “other dental school applications” part? Do we just list every single school we’ve applied to?
 
Has anyone who interviewed on week of January 11th hear back yet?
 
I have my interview on the 29th does anyone know how early I could hear back from them?
 
During my interview last week they said we should be hearing the first week of February but once February hits, any acceptances that are sent out we only have two weeks to put down the deposit to save our seats, so i think that is why they are waiting til February to send acceptances out.

The deadlines have been pushed back, so technically the 2 week deposit requirement begins February 15th. At least according to ADEA.
 
I have my interview tomorrow morning.... Extremely nervous. Just had a mock interview with my friends and he asked me a bunch of questions that I was not prepared for. Although he said these questions are unlikely to come up but still... ha... idk guys. I basically prepared my answers for the general questions.. should it be enough
