Thank you so much RS2224! My stats aren't bad but they aren't AMAZING also, and 20 on DAT. I just started a master's program to help boost my application, but I'm pretty sure that dental schools will want to see my first semester grades before they consider anything further. Where did you get interviews from? Congrats, and I hope they go well!!

Oh... I noticed your name is mavsfan?? Are you from Dallas? We are rivals then... because the Houston rockets are sooo much better 😉 PS maybe I'll get more interviews than you since everyone knows Houston is better than Dallas? Ahah I joke

I'm starting to get the idea that the class of 2021 is just unusually SDN-averse.

Most of the pre-dents I know don't use sdn because it stresses them out lol. Not me.

 

[NavyDDS1990]

yea cus in real life, we normally don't see people with 27AA on DAT or with 15 interview invites lol, but still it seems too slow compared to last couple years

 

[Likkriue]

90% of applicants who do use sdn don't post.

12 k applicants a year, if 10% post that's 1,200 posters. That's a lot of folks who don't post interview invites.

Why is Pittsburgh so big on here? Is it that good?

 

[DMDDDSHopeful]

Why is Pittsburgh so big on here? Is it that good?

People on SDN really like Roethlisberger.

 

[xrjhizzzz]

Just personally like the way it structured. The school is incorporated into medical school and it's surrounded by medical complex (hospitals, nursing schools, ect). Great research and faculty.

Haha for sure.

Anybody else just have a constant pit of anxiety goin' on? I submitted my app day 1 of the cycle and I die a bit more inside every time I get on this message board lol... you people and your damn success.... (but seriously, congrats to all on the invites 🙂)

AADSAS mail-out date of 6/24? How many interviews have you had thus far?

 

[dreamer32313]

I haven't heard anything about interviews yet & my application was complete (with my second set of DAT scores) around mid-August- that's when I started getting confirmation emails, should I be worried??

 

[acesofseven]

That depends on your stats and where you applied 😉

 

[_ToothBeTold_]

Not sure why but I received a confirmation email that University of Maryland has my application under review on 7/7/2016 and I paid their fee of $90 but I haven't heard about a secondary application or anything?

Maryland is one of the few schools that doesn't send secondaries out to everybody.

My application was complete as of July 7 and I still have not heard back from 2/3 schools. You're not alone!

 

[_ToothBeTold_]

Maryland is one of the few schools that doesn't send secondaries out to everybody.

Do they only send them to qualified applicants then or on a case by case basis if they need more info for example?

 

[super frank]

They only send them to applicants they are interested in.

 

[Viva Terlingua]

Not necessarily to all qualified applicants, but the ones they are interested in interviewing. According to last cycle Maryland sent out secondaries post-December too, so its definitely not too late for folks who haven't received one yet.

 

[_ToothBeTold_]

That's good to know. This waiting game is so stressful, I feel like I'm going insane...

Girl, I couldn't agree with you more 🙁 🤔. It's on my mind 24/7. (Although, I am very, VERY grateful for what I've gotten so far. I realize others may not be as lucky at the moment).
