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

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I know this may not be the preferred place to post this, but I always checked this to see what types of applicants were getting into the schools I wanted to go to/interviewed at/got rejected from last year. It can drive you nuts, especially if you didn't get any acceptances til January (like I did). In fact, I received all 3 of my acceptances in 2016 and had submitted all the way back in July 2015. Keep your head up, and be damn sure to enjoy your last year of college bc dental school is pretty thick with material. Congrats to those on acceptances today

Please do not freak out if you don't hear anything. Schools operate differently and every year things don't go as planned. You never know when those post Dec interviews will fly in. Be courteous and let schools that still have you under review know immediately you are withdrawing your app if you hear the news you want from a different school.
 
Right now I'm interested in Rutgers. I'm still waiting to hear back from 4 other schools, so I'm going to give myself about a week to think it over.
 
Regarding VCU,
Does anyone know if in the past they spread the acceptances over the entire day or even several days? just waiting for mine 🤣...so I can dance...:banana:
 
Oh right true that. Stony should be coming up in the afternoon.

Man people got so excited with getting interviews. Getting Acceptances makes getting interviews feel like nothing.

Got two interviews coming up I might have to decline now.
you got an interview invite today?

Same boat, we may be waiting until January to hear back our status.

They sent an email newsletter about a week ago explaining that they send the first wave of acceptance emails and phone calls by the end of Dec 1. The next wave is spring semester.
 
I feel like they sent it all out at once... i didn't hear from them either.

Not that I don't doubt your feelings but is there any reason why you "feel like they sent it all out at once"? I feel the same way but I am trying to stay positive

Only because I'd like to keep my expectations low otherwise it will make the process more difficult for me
