Did you find out today? The admissions office said if you interviewed and didn't hear back by Dec 1st than you won't hear back til January.
 
To anyone waiting to hear back from Colorado, I called today and they said they won't be sending out any more acceptances/rejections until early February after they have done more interviews. If we haven't gotten a rejection yet we are still in the running!

Do we send our new transcripts for the academic update to AADSAS only? or do we send it to each school ? I know AADSAS sends it to them, but I wanted to get it there faster lol. Also, can I send electronic transcripts? My school has that option of sending official electronic transcripts. Any idea?

Accepted into Texas A&M, UTHSCSA, and UTSD. Trying to decide between A&M and San Antonio. Any thoughts?
I am in the exact same boat. I was accepted to all 3 and also am trying to decide between A&M and UTHSCSA. Where are you at in your decision?
 
If you want to enjoy dental school, I'd pick Houston, if you want a bit more vigor/clinical experience and don't care about your location, I'd pick sa. I'm also a Texas resident (will not be staying here) but my friends from both are satisfied
Any reason you didn't mention A&M? I am trying to decide between the 3. Thanks!
 
Yes I am in-state for Texas. I'm mostly trying to decide between UTHSCSA and UTSD at this point, but I like them equally! Even though it's a sweet burden, kind of stressed out about it...
I am in a similar situation! Accepted to the 3 Texas schools and having some trouble deciding. Have you made any progress in your decision?
 
I *personally* am not a fan of lab work, they are the only school that does it excessively of the 3, I plan on being a dentist not a dental technician. Sa has a new curriculum coming out that's supposed to be much easier and more clinical. All my friends love it there. Houston is good to, but I think sa is clinically better.
Thanks so much for the reply. I have been leaning SA but have been a little unsure. The new curriculum sounds awesome but the fact that it is brand new makes me a little nervous.
 
ACCEPTANCE FROM TEMPLE!!

Email today at 11:00AM.

My message to the 2022 applicant reading through every thread trying to find hope (like I was doing) because you didn't get a December 1st acceptance. Be patient, tell the school you are interested even if you feel like it's redundant, and STOP READING THROUGH EVERY POST!! Good luck!

Congratulations and thanks for the inspiration! Would you suggest emailing or calling schools to let them know you're still interested?
