Your stats are all higher than mine. I have a 3.40ish for both overall, science and a 22 AA and 21 TS. I have 4 interviews so far. It's a waiting game. You did apply late so it will definitely take some time. I applied early August, but with your stats I think you will be fine. Just make sure you applied broadly. Best of luck.

thanks you!! you too!
I'm getting super anxious since many of you got many interviews already!
 
Do dental schools have any method to handing out interviews? I have competitive DAT, GPA, and experiences and have heard back from some schools, however other schools seem to be taking much longer.

Also, it seems as if there are many dental schools that are still sending out interviews and scheduling them 2 or 3 weeks later so there should still be some pre-dec interviews out there!

If your state school is anything like mine, it’s very competitive and highly selective! Give it time and I’m sure you will hear back before the end of the cycle!
