continued review from buffalo
It was my number one choice by a long shot, oh well

 

[SweetMelonPreDent]

"continued review from buffalo" here too.

I'm not sure what this means...i think this is a "we will put you into this pile for post-dec....maybe"

 

[Don Kim]

Congratulations!!! I watched your youtube video when preparing for the DAT, it's cool to know we could be future classmates. Best of luck on interviews 🙂

Thanks! That's cool!! Where do we overlap?

[prehealthworkhard]

is it still okay to apply now... i know its kinda late but is it too late lol i have my LORs and transcript already in and have done over half of the app

 

[dental_life17]

is it still okay to apply now... i know its kinda late but is it too late lol

I know a girl applied in November and took her DAT in January, but still got in last year. The chances are not as high, but you can give it a try.

 

[CO0829]

is it still okay to apply now... i know its kinda late but is it too late lol i have my LORs and transcript already in and have done over half of the app

I just took my DAT the 21st, I would still apply. I applied like the 4th day in June but my scores were sent late in September and I called the school to make sure it was okay that I was a little behind schedule for the application and they just said their deadline was November so as long as your meeting your school deadline, you're okay. Now you may not have the highest dance like other people who applied really early and already got an interview but there still a chance. The worst they can do is not give you an interview but at least you tried and you're not sitting there wondering what would've happened if you applied. I learned not to listen to everyone's advice on here and call your selected school yourself because I was ready to give up until I called the school myself.

I don't think calling the schools and ask if it's too late to apply is a good idea since they will likely say no and gladly take your application money.

is it still okay to apply now... i know its kinda late but is it too late lol i have my LORs and transcript already in and have done over half of the app

If you have average stats with outstanding ECs or above average stats, I would say go ahead and apply. If you have average or below average stats, you should save up the app money and apply to more schools next cycle on June 1. Just my two cents.

I got mine a while ago and they have been pretty quiet...I think I have heard that people are still getting them , just haven’t heard about any recent interviews... I’m hoping they are a little behind due to closing the school for a week due to the hurricane...

[sinnxx]

So I received an email this morning from Tuft’s saying my app in on hold Due to the $75 fee not being received. Yet that was paid early July and received the complete/under review email a week after. Anyone encounter this error also?

 

[shwayne]

Was the actual email sent today or did you just see the notification today? I thought Pitt only gave interviews on mondays.

 

[isso1418]

Congrats!!! What schools did you get interviews at?

 

[DocDoom]

Open ended question: In one of my experience sections which I started in June I noted that I go a couple times a week. About 2 weeks in I realized how difficult this was to do as well as manage other obligations and scaled back to once a week and sometimes once every other week when I was very busy (I work full time). The amount of hours I've done is much more than what is on my app but I can only go occasionally instead of a couple times a week. Should I email schools this update/bring it up in interviews?
''Tis the season to be paranoid

Not important, I wouldn't email them. I don't think schools even look over how often you go other than just seeing if you meet their minimum hours requirement.

Yes they only interview on Mondays but up until now they've only been sending invites on Mondays too. They're changing it up!
