If you don't mind me asking, when did UoP send you the "app under review" email and how long after the "app received" one was that sent?

I got the 'app under review' email 5 days after AADSAS sent my application to them. I had paid the supplemental about a month earlier.

I think we all decided to assume that when you said UoP you meant UPenn and not University of the Pacific. Were we right? Either way congrats!
 
It is kind of sad that I find myself disliking weekends and looking forward to Mondays now because that means the adcoms are in the office and can send out interview invites. :slap:
Don't give up hope on the weekends! I got an interview invite yesterday (Saturday)

Yep, I got a supplemental email on a Sunday morning (around 2am)... Talk about working OT! Lol... 😛

With your name and graduate education, I take it you were studying plant genetics before your career change?
 
Do all of the interview emails get sent out at the same time or are they sent out all throughout the day?

I am batch 7 with a july/28 verification date. I have a 23AA 24TS 21PAT 24RC. 3.45overall 3.6 science 4.04BCP. I am non-trade CA resident. I applied to 18 schools and I haven't gotten an interview yet. Should I be worried?

I hope this was aimed at me haha. I appreciate it! Looks like most interviews on this thread were given to those that submitted prior to me.

Really disappointed by that... I'm a bit turned off.

Or Columbia just has competitive enough applicants that they can select for both high DAT scores and the other factors that make an applicant well-rounded. Don't be salty just because you didn't get an interview offer.

Also if Columbia consistently selects for high DAT they have a good reason, not "just want high stats". High DAT score probably correlates with strong performance in their dental program.
