*~*~*~* Official 2016-2017 Interview/Acceptance/Rejection Thread *~*~*~*

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Do students who submitted their applications mid aug usually hear back later in september, or should i start getting depressed!!🙁 no interviews yet.

I submitted in June and some of my schools are completely silent- so it really depends on the school you apply to.
 
Thanks Likky for the template xD

I earned poor grades in business/philo/soci/etc. when I was at CC after HS. I took 5 years off school, once I knew what I wanted to do I returned to school and retook the classes I failed, but they still get calculated in to dental school apps.

Did you do a supplemental for them? If so, how soon did you get it after e-submitting?
 
Wow. You've got .... months ..... to prepare .....?
Either they are really booked or they only have interviews at certain times, my friend got an interview from them too last week and the earliest date was jan as well
 
Did you do a supplemental for them? If so, how soon did you get it after e-submitting?
After I e-submitted, I received a follow up email with links to the supplemental about 15 minutes later. Then I received a confirmation of my supplemental being processed the day after I sent it in.

Thanks for that info. I wonder what it is that people report all different times in which they receive supplemental links. Some have days or weeks. I think yours is a record lol.

No problem. I had no idea that was a faster than normal turnaround until I read of a few people still waiting for confirmation emails days-weeks later. I would think it'd all be automated with no relation to your stats but who knows...

I've been waiting since my AADSAS mail-out date of 6/24. 🙁 They promise it can come at any moment but if I held my breath I think I wouldn't be typing right now.. Lol
