So last night I got invited by email for interview, then two hours later they changed their mind and told me to disregard previous email.
What a tease

Thanks for giving me hope. But what I see here is telling me something else. Everyone who has received an invitation has good DAT scores. I feel that mine is very bad. I don't have any scores less than 17 though.

I took DAT on 8/24/2015 and my score is NOT in the AADSAS system yet.
I don't understand how I got this interview invitation. Scheduled date for interview is in Jan. in 2016 though.
Does anyone have experience like this? My GPA isn't that high so I almost thought they sent out invitation by mistake...?
Thanks in advance.

They did the same with me, but I sent them my unofficial score report. Maybe their decision is more based off your LORs, and personal statement

I don't think their invitation is a mistake, it's very rare when that happens (like it just occurred with A.T. Still, according to these posts.) Maybe your score is not on the AADSAS system, because it hasn't updated yet? And don't worry about your GPA! I have a higher GPA than you, and just got my rejection from NOVA. GPA isn't everything!! 🙂

I took DAT the same day as you did and my score has not been listed on AADSAS either. I got my old test from 12/2012, though. I also got interview invitation on 9/2. What a coincidence! 🙂. Congrats!

I have a feeling the dental schools will be like the Gryffindor table in Harry Potter when he was sorted into Gryffindor yelling "We got Feralis, We got Feralis!!!" LOL.

Oh no, I got an interview at UNE but I'm OOS... Do you think that means I'll probably not get accepted because I'm not from the New England area???

If you chose Nova as a school you're applying to when you applied to take the DAT, the score would have been sent directly to them. That could be why!
