I applied to three schools this year.. LSU, Memphis and Florida. Got waitlisted at LSU on dec. 3, waitlisted at Memphis but applied last year (took my DAT too late last year so LSU wouldnt consider). Nada from FL. After I got waitlisted at LSU decided to apply to 4 more schools in january.. temple, touro, tufts and Lecom. Got interviews within the last few weeks at temple, touro, and tufts. (Couldn’t believe it considering I applied last minute) was on way to tufts interview waiting in Miami airport and found I was accepted to LSU so turned back home.

All the interviews they sent to me for last 3 schools were only in Feb.

Residency- LA
GPA- 3.7, 3.65 science
DAT- 21,20,21,24 QR 16..

Good luck to everyone else!

Congrats!

Its very cold up there!! :cool:
haha I know, that's one of the reasons I'm turning it down. If I wasn't already accepted I'd definitely go, but I am. So I hope it goes to someone who has been waiting!

Congrats. I think UCSF is a great school.

But if you are married, it all boils down to what your kids and wife want in the end.

I have some issues with my planned courses and I have to make sure the school I want to attend would accept the change of my planned courses.

Thank you, same to you.

I also feel bad about rejecting them right away. I feel it kinda like I didn't even consider them.

Hello! Didn’t know where else to ask this but does anyone know if I have to do the background criminal check separately for each school or does it get sent to all schools to which you got accepted?

It depends on the schools. Most schools use the Certiphi Background check, so if the schools you got accepted to all use this, then it gets sent to all of those schools. If a school does not use that, it's probably separate from the rest.

Thanks for the idea... I'm looking at that today

They won’t refund you so just keep it simple.

“Dear Admissions, Thank you for interviewing and accepting me this cycle. I really enjoyed my time at x School of Dentistry. I have received an offer from my top choice school which I will be accepting. I would like to respectfully withdraw my seat reservation and I hope to reconnect with x school down the road. Thank you again for this opportunity.”
