rejection from arizona.
I don't think I did great on my interview. Honestly, the school does not fit me. I cannot see myself there. Im glad I am not taking someone's place in Arizona.

Weired, right???
she has not been allowed to dream since!

Better luck to all!

This reminds me of the time I applied to universities during my senior year in high school. I had hoped to get into at least one college, and after receiving a few rejections, I really had one chance left from the last college I applied to. I couldn't sleep for a few nights and kept dreaming that I was checking my admission status online. One morning, early in the morning, like at 5:00, I woke up because my dreams were pissing me off and I wasn't getting much sleep, so I checked my application, but it was still un-decided. I went back to sleep, woke up 30 minutes later, and I was rejected. It was the worst. A nail in the coffin.

But I got over it pretty quickly. Hopefully I won't have to go through that again when I apply next year to dental school.

ecdoesit · Dec 19, 2003

o, sorry to hear your experience, jlaha.
you must have applied to multiple great schools...
thx for sharing though.

Thaxil · Dec 19, 2003

Nova. Damn it. One of the warm state schools. Maybe I should not have mention on the secondary about applying to 24 other schools? What would they know.

KrebsPsycho · Dec 19, 2003

Got rejected by LLU last month

Thaxil · Dec 22, 2003

Arizona whatever. I do not care if I get 19 other rejection now. So far Idaho, Maryland, Nova, UOP (on re-re-re-review), Marq (hold).

Hi adornato!

may i ask if you got rejected from temple before of after interview?

Thaxil · Dec 29, 2003

Another rejection, this time from Meharry. No problem. Every rejection I receive now just makes me happier that I am already accepted. Otherwise, I would really be hurting with every rejection stabbing me in the heart.

ElCid · Jan 6, 2004

Ok guys- all intel helps. 'One man's trash is another's treasure '- right?

So - I applied to:

MUSC
BU
Pitt
Temple
Uof Pacific

Interviewed so far:

MUSC
BU

Rejected:

BU (interviewed)
Temple (no interview)

Nothing yet from:

Pitt
U of Pacific

I know I should have applied to more schools than five, but it was all I could afford (time and moneywise) right now. And Im beginning to realize that that decision is going to be my demise this year.

UPenn b/c my secondary was not good. I guess I was being too honest on the question where they asked what I like the least about dentistry. I said I didn't like the fact that many dentists are businessmen rather than healers.

Aileen: Did you interview at UPenn? If so when did you interview at UPenn? I was just wondering when I would hear back from them.

I received a letter from UPenn saying that they were reviewing my application back in November 2003, and I received THE rejection letter in February 2004. They didn't even give me a chance for an interview.

DMDgirl2008 · Mar 29, 2004

Yeah...I never really understood how they choose you for interviews. Because I didn't get interviews at some schools which I thought were not very competitive...but then got interviews at schools that were really good.

Hope you got in somewhere else. Good luck Aileen!

Thanks, DMDgirl. Don't worry about me. I got into my 1st choice school, Columbia. DMDgirl, do you know where you're going?

I'm still waiting to hear from a few schools. But so far I have gotten accepted to Tufts and Boston Univ. We'll see what happens with the other schools

jfh3 · Mar 30, 2004

I noticed that a few of you received rejections from Tennessee early in the admissions cycle. Were you interviewed prior to receiving your notification?

Also, are you in state/out of state?

tina4281 · Apr 22, 2004

i got rejected from Temple today. I interviewed in January. I thought it was weird, but o wells. I'm going to UCLA. Maybe I wasn't excited? I don't know.

LITTLED · Apr 23, 2004

My first post interview rejection came from Temple. I interviewed early (I think in october?) and then 6 months later, a skinny little envelope in the mail.
My favorite rejection was from asdoh. I got an xmas card online, and then 2 days later REEEEEEEEEEjected.
Kind of like merry christmas LOSER ha ha ha :laugh:

Schools continue interviewing applicants then put them on the waitlist. If someone decides to drop-out from the filled class, a waitlisted applicant will replace him/her.

I decided to bring this thread up for all of you future applicants to enjoy. Goood luck! :laugh:

Sorry 🙁. It is hard receiving rejections but you will get use to it. Hey I got 19, but it is only one that I need. 😉

Don't take rejections to hard. A lot depends on if you "click" with the interviewer.

Thaxil,
you....you sadist! 😀

ItsGavinC · Jun 20, 2004

Ahhh, I have found memories of all my rejections. Especially those that I received right after sending in my secondary checks to the schools. Nothing like having a secondary check and a rejection letter cross paths in the mail.

Of course, for every rejection letter you get you'll also get an acceptance down the road.

Keep your heads up! 😀

PERFECT3435 · Jun 20, 2004

blankguy,

don't worry, i think i got more of those than you did. LOL
