But the food....

 

[hAAAnh]

90% sure Washington. Im just waiting for both of their packets to come in and check everything out before I make my final decision. Im also waiting for the packet from colorado specifically cause I tried looking for their tuition online and it said it was unavailable because they're redoing their website. So unless the tuition difference is significant, i'll be going to UW.

Why do you ask? Did you get accepted to same schools?

Got into UW

Before the rejection email, did you get their application status reminder email "If you have not received a status update from our office regarding an offer of admission or a decision to deny, then no decision has been finalized on your application and you are still under consideration"?

 

[BYU4you]

Well I think I may be done getting any more news at this point. So for those wondering.

Accepted: Loma Linda, University of the Pacific, University of Utah, and Columbia

Wait listed: Midwestern Az and Roseman.

Nope! My last email from them was a confirmation of my interview and silence from December 1st until yesterday. Maybe you're on the waitlist?

Do you know if Loma Linda gives out more interviews post-dec? It's one of my top schools and I live in Riverside county. Hopeful I hear something soon! And congrats on all your acceptances!

 

[Boyd27]

is it possible to find out what our ranking is on a waitlist? if so, how can you go about this?

Was this ever answered?

 

[Dent_2016!]

Was this ever answered?

It depends on the school just ask the school you're waitlisted at. Some have a strict policy where they won't tell you your ranking ever on the waitlist, and some are more open about it I'm sure.

whats ur Gpa, DAT and residency???

 

[fogorvostan]

whats ur Gpa, DAT and residency???

GPA is in sig;
DAT was a 20AA
Residency is like half GA; half FL???
I moved to FL from GA in August. I'm thinking they considered me OOS because I'll have lived in FL for almost a year before matriculation

 

[cal63208]

Super late posting my acceptances because Ive been busy celebrating the last 10 days 🙂

Yes I have a lower gpa but I was able to get accepted to 3 dental schools! Creighton, UNMC, and Midwestern-AZ. Really love all 3 but ultimately I will attend UNMC. Go HUSKERS!

undergrad GPA: 3.1
smpGPA: 3.85
overallGPA 3.24
DAT: AA21
2 years work experience in dental lab
1 year neuroscience research lab work


This was my second time applying and I applied early. If anyone else is struggling to overcome a low GPA I recommend doing well in a SMP, working in the field either as an assistant or dental lab tech, and building strong relationships with dentists in your community.
