Do you think any acceptances will be coming in this week or are we all waiting until January now?

I'm trying to figure out what's more stressful in life ...patiently waiting for your top choice to admit you or final exams. It's a tough battle.
I feel this on a very deep level

I was accepted to Rutgers, Nova, and Touro on Dec 1st.

I'm undecided whether to go to Rutgers or Touro (I want to stay in the tri-state area).

I know Rutgers is cheaper (once I get NJ residency), more established, and is renowned for its clinical experience, but I'm a Touro undergraduate, so I'm familiar with the system. I trust Touro will be a successful institution, and I observe the Jewish holidays, which Touro gives off. I'm more concerned with the kinks Touro Dental will have to work out vs. the things I've heard about the difficulty of the Rutgers curriculum. I'm interested in general dentistry, so specialty slots are not a concern of mine.

Any advice?

It may be a hard decision, but anyone of these schools is going to make you into a fantastic dentist! Congratulations!
Thank you for posting this. I'm having a difficult time choosing which dental school I want to go to, thinking that there must be one right place for me. It's important that I keep in mind what you said.

Rutgers hands down. No need to even think about

I got offered an interview at the end of October and wasn't able to schedule an interview until post-Dec. I was wondering if anyone knows if dental schools would accept people post-Dec interviews over waitlist or visa versa?

Anyone else not hear back from the majority of the schools they've applied to? I applied to 16 and had an interview a few days ago and got rejected from UCSF a couple months ago. Other than the interview and the rejection I have not heard a thing from any of the schools...

Congrats on the acceptance as well as the scholarship! :) that's amazing! What school will you end up picking?

That's a great question, lol. I'm still so blown away that I'm fortunate enough to have multiple offers that I really can't decide just yet!

Same. I've only heard from 3 schools of the 12 I applied to. The others have been oddly quiet.
