Sure thing!
Submitted in June, complete in July, under review in September.
OGPA: 3.63 (3.51 at old school and 3.82 at new school). Includes vocational credits.
BCP: 3.75
SGPA: 3.58

DAT (retaken in May): 21 AA, 21 TS, 18 PAT, 23 RC, 17 QR.
Old scores were 19/19/18/20/17.

And thank you!!! It was a surprise and I'm happy, although I had finally gotten comfortable with going to UF and putting down my deposit, so I'm torn about potentially declining this interview. I'm consulting with my advisor tomorrow for advice, so if I end up not making it to the interview, I wish the best for someone in here!

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

Email for sure. Chances are you will not talk to anybody on the admissions board if you call and even at that you'd be lucky to get anyone to pick up the phone with how busy they are. Email puts your name in front of who ever you feel appropriate to email.

who exactly do you email? The email the school uses when mass sending emails or...?

Go on the schools website and see if you can find director of admissions for that school. If you have an interview it's important to get their email when you meet them and thank them afterwards for having you. If you can mention something you both may have spoken about, even better.
 
Rejected from LECOM after updating them about some new things about my application (EC, DAT, shadowing, etc.). I guess emailing schools doesn't work all the time 🙁

Interview #4 - Pittsburgh for Jan 9th! Not sure if Im going to take it because I already have acceptances at other schools (Penn, UDM, and NOVA) and have to put down deposits, but the tuition is enticing...
any advice?

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?
Click to expand...
AADSAS doesnt send it to the schools. They just make it available for the schools to see it. However, after accepted, schools want you to send a hard copy directly to them.

If you waiting for buffalo no because you wont get the deposit back. You have until the due date to put it down.

I'm waitlisted for buffalo though. there's a chance I won't get accepted 🙁

The deposits not due yet so why the hurry. I think its more important to start sending in your transcripts and forms first. Worry about the deposit last.
 
I got an interview at UPenn which was my dream school for a long time, but I've been accepted to a few state schools that are much cheaper than Penn. Should I decline my upcoming Penn interview? At the same time, years from now I don't want to look back at this regretting not pursuing my dream school.

How much cheaper than penn are they?

My own state school and the other school that allows for IS after D1 both cost around $300k. Whereas Penn is easily $450k. I know they give out Dean's scholarships but it's unlikely that I'll get one with my post-Dec interview. So yeah ~$150k cheaper.

If you think it's very unlikely to get a scholarship, I'd go to the state school

Your resume is forever. Interview at Penn, see what happens. The connections and relationships you'll form at Penn with that huge alumni network are priceless professional opportunities you'll wish you had access to in the future. "Who" you know is important in any major field. If you go to a local or state school that you settle for you'll have to work much much harder to prove yourself and form those relationships. Just food for thought
