Members don't see this ad.

Pro tip: if you're using the mobile app, and can't read the school, hold your finger on a post for a second and it opens that particular post. You can then read what school it is, without going into web view.

You are a life saver! All this time, I thought people just didn't want to list their school!

I wish!! My letters didn't get submitted until the end of the month, so the mailing date was 8/28.

Thanks for checking up on that though... 😉

 

[strep mutans]

I was just saying that interview sites don't show up for whatever reason if someone's using the mobile app. I can't see it either unless I get on my computer

You are a life saver! All this time, I thought people just didn't want to list their school!

I use Tapatalk as my mobile app, and I can always see everything just fine. Might be easier to just switch apps than to constantly switch to computer/desktop version.

 

[andreadds]

Did they at least ask for an secondary ?

if you don't mind asking.

I am OOS and got an mail for secondary and am debating if its even worth spending my time.

Do it!!!!!!!

 

[andreadds]

Anyone out there accepted with low DAT scores? I need hope...

You can do it!

Just a tip based on this comment, if you have the choice, use Southwest to fly because they don't charge a change fee for flights, you might have to pay the difference in the fare, but most airlines charge $75 or more for changes!

Hey congrats on the interview! How long after mail out did you hear back from them confirming that they have received your app? Mine was mailed out a week ago and rutgers is the only school from which I haven't heard anything nor are they showing up on portal...Im just wondering if I should call them to confirm they have received my app

Hey sorry for not responding earlier. You should be fine. Rutgers download new apps once a week on Mondays according to them. I would call on Tuesday to make sure they have your app.

This individual is not a regular applicant . He/She is very driven, highly killed, and will make a fantastic future dentist. Grades and scores are only a component of the application.

You know this individually personally, or are you just trying to be placating?

Yes anyone can do it. I got nothing last cycle. I went back to school for an informal postbacc and got a 4.0 and retook my dat (19 to 22). However, I think what has really made the difference is my personal statement and EC's. My EC's are definitely above average. Again, I wasn't even expecting one so I feel completely over the moon. Believe in you abilities!!!!!
