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.

That's really great! Congratz!! And makes me curious what's on your app that you think makes you stand out?!

Well I did a masters that many schools like. And I did really good on my DAT. Pretty sure that’s what I needed to stand out.

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!
 
Does anyone know if UNC sent our their November Interviews? I was told they have one interview invitation per month?

Hey everyone I just wanted to get some opinions on my stats. I have received three interview invites already and have yet to receive one from my in state school of Colorado. I guess I am just a little confused as to why I haven't received an invite there yet when my stats all seem pretty good.

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!
