you must have a ton of shadowing hours and ecs right? I haven't heard anything from tufts, did you shadow a gen dentist like it says on the site?

I did participate in a lot of ecs, shadowing, research, and tutoring. I have shadowed orthodontists, pediatric dentists and general dentists. Most of my hours have been with general dentists though. I'm sure you'll hear soon!

3.2 GPA, 19 DAT. Never give up. I applied to 21 schools. Got 9 rejections then the following day after my ninth rejection, I got the email from Roseman. NEVER GIVE UP. When I opened that email from Roseman, I was crying already because I thought it was another rejection, however, I cried of joy 🙂 btw, this is my 3rd year applying. .

Rejection: Boston University
Unsurprising, as I didn't complete the secondary

I was doing their secondary application and browsing through their school website. When I saw their graduation pics and the horrendous color schemes for the gowns, I gave up on BU all together. Completely serious

Congrats! I'm still waiting to hear from them. 3rd cycle applicant too. 25 schools. Only 1 interview scheduled that hasn't happened yet.
 
I will add mine on here as well. Went to four interviews, and got an acceptance on my fourth one. One school haven't heard back yet, and the others I was placed on their waitlist.

After my acceptance from the fourth school, I withdrew my application from all schools, including some that I had interviews to.

The bottom line is that you never really know if your next interview is the ticket to the door. After each interview, just know which areas you can improve on and it will only get better from there!
