decision to invite or reject is on hold until they get more information or to compare you to more applicants
better than a rejection, and not silence like you get from most schools

Yeah they sent me an email to set up an account where you can pay the fee and answer some questions. Midwestern AZ and IL use the same website but they have different supplementals. I received the link on June 10th. Hope y'all receive yours soon!

IT'S KILLING ME, every e-mail my heart races !

Nice! They waitlisted me for an interview. They emailed me and said even though my GPA and DAT were very competitive for them, I didn't give enough information about who I was in my personal statement. I'm confused because I felt like I answered why I wanted to pursue a career in dentistry on my personal statement. I didn't think they wanted me to put personal things about myself on there.

That stinks! There are quite a few people that apply to MWU as well as many other schools, so you may have a chance to move off the waitlist once the interviews and acceptances start coming out. That is if this is your top school.

I'm applying to all the Texas schools for sure, as I'm from Texas. I still have not finalized my AADSAS school list I know for sure I'm applying to WesternU, though! What about you?
