*~*~*~* Official 2018-2019 Interview/Acceptance/Rejection Thread *~*~*~*

[Faefly]

I'm feeling down...
no rejections but not accepted. sigh....

At least you are not on the "Invited for Interview" Bandwagon after everyone got waitlisted or accepted there and you are still invited to an imaginary interview that you are pretty sure you have already attended and spent a lot of money on the flight and the hotel + food there.

I am sorry though, not knowing your destiny sucks and I hope you get accepted soon.

Somehow managed to maintain a 4.0 GPA and my DAT was 28/30/22/23 (AA/TS/PAT/Reading)!

L O L I'm never getting into dental school rip
(Congrats though, that's amazing)

No, no there is no somehow here, you worked pretty hard for these scores and you deserve more, to be honest. I am surprised you didn't apply or didn't get in Upenn or Columbia or Harvard.
Awesome scores and congratulations.

 

[BasicG]

BasicG you know it is going to be tough, I have a lot of family and friends in Minnesota so I have a little more bias, but I am still very uncertain. I don't know if I can pass on Minnesota with the reciprocity. It is going to be a tough decision to make. Are you leaning towards one over the other?

I'm leaning toward Creighton because I have family in the area and I was very impressed with the school. I'm sure you'll make the decision that's best for you!

 

[drill.3]

Wow congrats!! Those are all amazing schools, what school are you leaning towards?

Im not sure yet...I am kind of waiting till after finals when I get back with my parents/family to talk over things. I go to UCLA undergrad and love it here so they are one of my favs but right now I am just kind of soaking it all in!!

 

[SmileItsLife]

just got a call and mine is a G!

Reverse alphabetical order?

Really though what does it mean if you are still "invited for interview"? Does that mean you're wait listed?

 

[lwergod]

Accepted to temple!!its happening!

That's what I am wondering about!
I'll know for sure by tomorrow

I have a cousin that currently attends Creighton and he loves it so I have some ties there as well, but I cannot complain about these types of problems

I wouldn't worry too much about the AADSAS statuses. Two of the schools that I got into still say "Invited for Interview", and another one of them literally says "None".

[Boise State Bronco]

Have you heard anything back from IDEP on acceptance, waitlist, or rejection?

Not yet, have you?? I'm so anxious to hear back...

your not very encouraging, but in the event that you were trying to be... thanks. maybe best. I would rather be going on more interviews than just ending my dreams early.

 

[CaliforniaCrentist]

Alright welp no acceptances and no rejections today. But I got an interesting email from Marquette saying "The Committee has decided to hold making a decision on your application at this time in the process. While both offers of admission and denials have been made at this point, your application will remain active in our applicant pool"
Is this a soft rejection?

 

[summertofall]

I'm feeling down...

I know the feeling. I've spent months daydreaming about being accepted to my top choice only to get an email that I'm still under review Spent the day pretty sad about it, but at this point, I've come to terms with it and am trying to look on the bright side: it's only the first day for acceptances! It's a long process and things can still turn around. Wishing you the best of luck!!

Have I been waitlisted or is this a common email sent out for today (first day of acceptance not.s)
read post #6 that I wrote

I would say that's effectively a wait-list

 

[Cjb223]

Not yet! I havent heard from anyone if they got any contact yet. Makes me feel better Im not the only one who hasnt heard back yet.

 

[MentalDental13]

Could I ask you what your email looked like? Because i got a weird email from tuft (they sent me a video link, saying this is message from your tufts family and in the header it said: Congrats to tufts class of 2023), and i'm not sure what this is... especially since I did not interview with Tufts haha

Oh wow, I got the same exact email! I’m shocked that they sent it to you with no interview. I interviewed with them back in October.

 

[Boise State Bronco]

Yeah, me too. Let me know if you hear anything! It sounds like last year not everyone was notified the first day, one even in January

[Askota]

Unfortunately, you need to wait a little longer as they will consider more applicants to be interviewed once those with multiple acceptances will decline the offer.

So it's normal to not receive any emails or any aadsas updates if you're waitlisted?

Will do! I know a few people are choosing different schools who interviewed at IDEP.

 

[predent187789]

I cannot believe the day finally came and I am going to be a dentist!!!!

Accepted to:
#1 University of Minnesota via email
#2 Creighton University via email
#3 UMKC Via phone call

I am not sure how i am going to decide between Creighton and Minnesota at the moment, I do get reciprocity if I attend Minnesota which is where I am leaning at the moment, but still very uncertain!!!!

I'm in the same boat as you with MN vs Creighton and the instate at MN. What's influencing your decision to go to MN?

 

[whitepeke]

Is it just me or have others also gotten accepted to schools they didnt think they'd have a chance to get into while getting waitlisted/rejected at schools that are, lets say more liberal, with the stats and number of ppl they interview? Lol

[Firik]

Wow, that was quick!
Submitted background check report yesterday and now I submitted to be released (the investigation completed in one day)! If anyone curious it cost me $54.00.
Does anyone know, if the school have access to my report automatically or I need to send them? Thanks
