Do you find out about potential scholarships when they call? And do all schools tell you up-front what they're willing to offer or is it just certain schools?
 
acceptance #2 UCLA with a scholarship!!! I actually cried during that interview when they asked me a personal question so ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!! They called me and said an email would be sent later this week!
Thats amazing! How much is the scholarship if you don't mind me asking?
 
thanks! They didn't give a lot of info over the phone, just that it was a deans scholarship and I asked how much and they said 25k. I assume thats total?
I'd hate to get your hopes up and end up being wrong, but I think a dean's scholarship tends to be 6 digits. I think thats a $100k scholarship.
 
Acceptance #1 Tufts via email and Rejection #1 UConn via email. I’m elated about Tufts!!! Congrats everyone!!
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

Yeah that;s weird..maybe they got you mixed up with someone else? That is the acceptance email that I got, so I would definitely call/email them.
 
Seems like they keep calling till late afternoon (thats what it seems like from looking at previous years). But it could be skewed since not everyone posts.

I would expect them to keep making calls throughout their normal business hours of the admissions office.

Applied: 8, Interview offers: 4, Interviewed (pre-dec): 3, Accepted: 3

IS: PA

Stats- GPA: 3.69 sGPA: 3.59 DAT: AA 22/PAT 23/nothing under 20 Other: non-traditional, worked research at UPenn for 2 years, worked at a dental office for 3.5 years

Acceptances:
Temple: email 12am
Maryland: email 9am
UPenn: phone call from Dr. Sheridan (no scholarships offered 🙁)​

I hope this can help out the people in the future to gauge where they're at because I know I looked from time to time during the whole process. So glad it is all done and I can focus on attending dental school now!!

Let me know if anybody else got scholarships from UPenn because they said I didn't get the scholarship which is disappointing because costs are such a big factor.

Good luck everyone!
