Members don't see this ad.

I wonder why your interview is on 8/27 and if you look above this thread someone with higher stats has on 9/24... Curious to know

Maybe they chose their own interview dates.

Last year it seems like schools were updating AADSAS a ton. Apps were always "under review" before receiving interviews. This year, it seems like they really aren't updating at all. I have 10/10 schools that just say "verified", but my app was completed and mailed out a month and a half ago. Is anybody who has interview invites having their app status changed on AADSAS, or are we all just verified?

All still say verified. Don't see the point in the status bar if they don't use it.

Agreed! I’m sure it’s really taxing for them to update every applicant’s portal, but it’d be really cool to see a daily-updated status for our apps.

[Firik]

Maybe they chose their own interview dates.

I know for sure, it's given to them. That's why I am little puzzled.

 

[DentlifeKy]

Maybe they chose their own interview dates.

I didn’t get to chose mine, they just gave me my September date!

 

[Firik]

GPA and DAT are not the only thing on their applications.

Thanks, sounds good.

 

[Firik]

Maybe the school likes to interview re-applicants first?

What would be a reason behind this? If you know of

 

[Pearl E. White]

I didn’t get to chose mine, they just gave me my September date!

That's great. For my interview I got to choose a date. Again, it depends on the school.

 

[DoesThisLookInfected?]

What would be a reason behind this? If you know of

Not really sure. I just know that one school I applied to does that and also likes to interview OOS applicants first. Of course every school is different, but that is one possible reason why someone with higher stats may get a later interview than others!

[Miss Resilience]

I would personally accept a student with a well rounded application. There is probably enough students with 4.0 and 23+AA to fill the whole class of Columbia yet they continue to accept 19AA and 3.3 GPAs

Do they really accept lower GPA/DAT applicants???

[DentlifeKy]

Yes, they do. Virtually every school does. There’s more to an applicant than a test score and GPA! So many “good applicants” based on scores get in and then are awful providers. Medical schools do this too. That’s the whole point to the holistic approach of reviewing apps. 🙂

Do you think there is a certain DAT score beyond which schools don't really care and start to pay attention to other factors? I am sure it varies between schools, but what do you think in general?

I have no idea! I guess that’s a possibility! I’d assume anything about a 17AA they at least consider other aspects of the applicant.
