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
 
Rejected by UCSF too, via email. Interviewed on their first interview date and my sister is a D1 there currently *tears* Oh wells, at least I have closure 🙂 Good luck to the rest of ya!

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"?
 
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.

Rejected: Harvard

Turned down UCSF, Western, USC, and Vegas for interview invites.

My stats were a 24aa on the DAT and 3.93 overall and science GPA.

I will be attending Loma Linda.


Good luck to everyone and good luck to those reading this next year!

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?
 
Did anyone recieve an email from USC saying they are still under consideration? I haven't recieved anything post-interview

I'm sure they will. Lots of people will end up turning them down, I'd be shocked if not.

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.
