[TXgirl47]

Hey y’all, this is sort of unrelated but I need some help! If anyone was in a situation where they lost health insurance coverage after graduating from undergrad, what did you do during the time between graduating and starting dental school? If anyone has some very affordable recommendations I would greatly appreciate it

If you dont have a health coverage from your employer and if its only for yourself, you can enroll as an individual insurer during the open enrollment period (nov-mid dec). Since it’s way past the open enrollment period, you have to research on the insurance companies that will cover outside that period.
That’s what I did. I graduated this May and my school health insurance was effective until August so I enrolled into one of my state’s insurance health plan by providing a loss of coverage with the last effective date. I contacted my school’s health clinic to fax or mail in the loss of coverage statement to my new insurance company and that’s how I was able to get coverage right away.

what if you work from home or tutor but have no employer, how can you get insurance?

Thanks for the insight. I'm sitting on a lot of schools that have not made any decisions...

Anyone know when the second batch of acceptances will be released?

 

[yasc]

It varies on the school. There's no official date.

 

[macsak]

depends on the school and when they return from holiday break and when the deposit deadline is
i'd say over the next week to week and a half, a bunch of acceptances will go out as people with multiple acceptances drop their spots

Oh God... I hope it happens soon!!!!
Good luck everyone still waiting and hoping!!!

 

[dancerdentist11]

Btw for people waiting on UCLA the dean had called me today because I hadn't accepted my spot and they said they are down to their last 2 spots... I thought they were still interviewing so maybe they were just trying to get me to accept my offer but just thought I'd let you all know!

I think they’re waiting a week or so until all of the deposits come in. I sent my deposit in before Christmas and it still hasn’t arrived yet. UPS told me that Temple told them to come back and deliver my deposit on Jan 11.

[Faefly]

Got my first acceptance and first rejection today January the 7th
#1 acceptance
Nova Yay
Method of contact: Call
#1 rejection
UCSF Nay
Method of contact: Email

I am out of state for both...
GPA/SGPA: 4.00, 4.00
DAT AA/TS: 23/24

FYi: I applied to Nova October 25th and to UCSF October the 26th( during their extended time when Micheal storm hit the east coast, so I submitted on the very last day )

Interview date for Nova was around the very end of November
Interview date for UCSF: Non existent, I was rejected without an interview.

Nova was the first school that contacted me, and the only school that invited me to a pre-decmeber interview. My status was invited to Nova the whole month, so I almost given up hope on them until I received the call today
However, I can't take Microbilogy at my university. I can take Inrdocutory microbiology at the community college, I hope they will accept it or else I am doomed


I want to add that my mom has been in the hospital for the last 8 days, I spent new year at the ER, and I received both acceptance and rejection at the hospital.

So life works in a weird way sometimes.

 

[futuredentist36]

Did anyone here get a post-December acceptance yet? If so, from which schools?

 

[Wee Kings]

However, I can't take Microbilogy at my university. I can take Inrdocutory microbiology at the community college, I hope they will accept it or else I am doomed

So Nova said you still had to take microbiology even though you were accepted?

 

[Faefly]

So Nova said you still had to take microbiology even though you were accepted?

Nova requires Microbiology. During the interview, they asked when I am gonna take it and I said I can't take it at my university, I can only take it at the community college and they said that's fine as long as I take it.

But in my uni, it's called Microbiology, but at the community college, it is called Introductory microbiology, so now I am hoping it's the same thing.
