I guess it all depends on the schools that you apply to... Always heard to apply in June... What month is 7-8? Sounds like late lol 😛 Don't know... Trying to stay positive for him... 😱
I loved Tufts 🙂 and thank you
Damn, how are your ECs/research/volunteer.... that is incredible you got in with those DAT scores
Sooo im new here and its because the worse day of my life!! Finished 3 years of dental school overseas and came here because of the war! took the dat and end up with AA:21 TS:22 PAT:19 : reading 17 GPA: 3.61. applied to 18 schools. Interviewed at NOVA, UDM, UNE, MWA and Minnesota. All my interviews went well and the main topic at each interview was my 3 years dental school I did. some schools like NOVA asked me a lot of questions at the interview about me and end up with wait listed because they want me to take courses I transferred from overseas I THINK. UDM said nothing about the courses and felt like im in! apparently not since i got nothing today. Hopefully tomorrow.
Anyways UNE literally some of their professors called me a dentist during the interview and were very friendly. I answered every questions but again nothing today!! MW Arizona! loved the school i think its above any school in technology and experience. I sent a thank u email after and said its my first choice and how impressed by the school i was. again!! nothing today. Minnesota!! interview went very well. set with the app lady after and she told me" this is a very strong app cause no one came here with 3 years dental school before" plus they accepted all my overseas courses basically everything was perfect. sooo since i got **** nothing today and trying to be patient for tomorrow what do you guys think ? cause im about to explode

First, Congrats! if you need experience i would go NYU if your following name for sure Columbia! don't forget both are in NYC which is the best name in the world!!
I'm pretty curious too!
Keep the faith! Nothing is set on stone yet! Keep dreaming and working towards your goal... Everything will fall in place when it's meant to be... 😉
well, i understand that and trust me i gave everything in my life to my dream even my parents!! last time i saw them was 4 years ago, and what i went through is harder than 4 dental degrees combined and what i don't understand is those people who interviewed me and they got everything about my weird story and felt for me and hared nothing back from them. I really dont get what do they need more than a guy having his goal set up the sky and finished 3 years dental schools before!! like who did that before?
Congrats on all the acceptances guys 🙂 so happy for you all! You worked hard and it finally paid off. I'll be sharing good news with all of you sooner than later I hope
Quick question... Anyone still waiting for interviews? What schools? Also, do you guys mind continuing to post your interview details once you get them?

Two interviews left. Lecom and tufts. So far I'm 0/9 in acceptances this year and last. 3 interviews last year and 6 this year. Let's hope these last two can bring me some justice. Don't listen when someone says 5 interviews = an acceptance. Idk what it is but 9 interviews for me did not give a single acceptance. Of course it's not over for this year yet, I've been wait listed for sure by two schools and no response from four but we'll see. Got two more interviews coming up that id really like some information on. Clearly I'm doing something wrong in the interviews. Does anyone have any knowledge on lecom and tufts interviews? Anyone that got accepted preferably? I seriously don't know what it is I do wrong, but every interview I've had this year with the exception of one I felt very confident and received quite the praise and nice comments from the interviewers. I'd really appreciate any info/advice. Thanks guys, congrats all that are accepted and for the rest, just wait patiently, I know it's tough. This day this year and last year have been the worst. I never would have anticipated all my hard work going down the drain these past two years. If I miss this year again, I can't imagine having to go through another hell cycle. This admissions process really is draining. Again, congrats to all. And good luck to the remaining. Just remember, some people can't attend all 12 schools they were accepted at, so having to settle for a wait list spot will have to suffice for us, which is probably better if you've originally had no acceptances. Good luck all, we'll be dentists someday
Sorry to hear of ur results so far. I'm rootin for u buddy! I saw u post when I was browsing the 2014-2015 cycle thread
Stay strong!!!! This application process is truly like the hunger games... But, you'll see everything will work out! 😉
Have you called any of the schools that rejected you to ask how to improve/why you were rejected? There's just too many variables in each application, without a definitive red flag it's just hard to find what the issue is, so it may be best to ask admissions themselves.
I was given the same old "we had a tough application pool and you didn't make the cut" speech last year, haven't been rejected yet this year. Thanks for the good vibes guys dentistry needs people like you. I'll call schools tomorrow to figure out whether I'm wait listed or rejected and ask why I wasn't accepted.
Anyone got rejection from Buffalo with interview?? I haven't heard from them yet and there's no status change updated (still saying invited for interview). I don't want to think that means rejection.. but I see that most acceptance from pre December interview were already sent out yesterday....
Hey buddy you're not alone. This is my 5th cycle and 4th dat attempt and waiting for an acceptance for my only pre dec interview is def stressful. Keep your head up and if you really want to become a dentist (which it seems like you definitely do) you will get there...just a matter of time. Trust me I've been through highs and lows, mostly lows but I'm still here stalking the sdn forums waiting for that one acceptance to get me in. Hang in there, bc it ain't over yet.
accepted @ USC 
Congratulations on your scholarship to Penn!!! My dream is to get a scholarship there, so I was wondering did Corky offer it with the acceptance phone call or did you ask for it? Congrats again! 🙂
Scholarships are given at the time of acceptance, you can certainly ask for one, but they have already decided who will get them when they start notifying people.
I've seen anywhere between 10K-year and 35K/year so far. Some schools give a scholarship to bring OOS costs down to or close to in-state costs but that is with your "financial aid" package from what I've been told and not really a "merit" scholarship like people are getting with their offers.
Accepted to UDM this morning!!!
I am in the same exact boat as you enamel 88...don't ever give up...ever if you want it that bad you will get it!
Corky offers it with the acceptance phone call...
Yes! I would love to stay in the city tbh but financially rutgers may be the cheapest option right now. Columbia is my dream school so I'm hoping it will work out there! Thanks for your input. Good luck!

Suit and tie!
yes for some reason
#5 UDM just called
Bro, did you shave when you went to the interviews? I remember u asked this in a thread. Subtle things can make big difference, I think :/
Do the schools continue with acceptances tomorrow, or do you automatically assume you're waitlisted or rejected
I spoke with someone at ASDOH yesterday who told me that they would notify all pre-December interviewees of an acceptance / rejection / wait list by Wednesday.
So if i didn't hear anything so far, I'm assuming I missed the first round of acceptances. I'm waiting for Pitt and Maryland...does anyone know when they start sending their second batch?
I have till Jan 4 to send my deposit in and don't want to waste $1000 if I end up getting in elsewhere and want to go there

Wasn't even expecting to get texas interviews in the first place but somehow got accepted to Baylor and UTHSCSA. This doesn't feel like real life... :0
Me same with NYU... Just interviewed on Nov 30th and got the acceptance the next day!!! Keep grinning stupidly at strangers for the whole day yesterday...
Advice for your Lecom interview, really talk up your community service and volunteering efforts and expand on that in your group interview. They really look highly on that. Be sure you are prepared for the group interview setting! Good luck!!!!
That's crazy. Congrats!! I didn't get any NYU love this cycle haha
Did anyone call USC to get an update?
Congrats on your Texas schools too... We're gonna be dentists no matter where we go 😉))))))
Congrats! My future classmate perhaps?
I think everyone here is like me and can't stress this enough to future applicants.
Best thing to do is ---Apply early as possible!!!
I was sixth batch and I already felt like that was too late given the number of applicants nowadays. What held be back was my professor being a bit lazy in uploading a letter of rec! So get that all done and early and give yourself the absolute best shot. Good luck to all. If anyone needs advice on anything I'm open to talk via messages.

Perhaps~ But I legitimately have no idea how to decide... Never thought i would be in this situation. ever..
Yeah, I was waitlisted, I called them and they said they don't have a ranking for waitlisted applicants, and it just means that you are under review...
