I haven’t gotten an interview or a rejection from UNLV.... what could that mean?

If it has been more than 2-3 weeks, then it's a good sign. You passed their initial screening.

 

[Fairytoothenthusiast]

If it has been more than 2-3 weeks, then it's a good sign. You passed their initial screening.

So if you pass their first screening why haven’t they sent an interview if they have send other ppl interviews.

 

[cero_86]

Me too!!!

I got the same thing, and I haven't even paid the application fee, is this for real?

 

[macsak]

So if you pass their first screening why haven’t they sent an interview if they have send other ppl interviews.

because you didn't pass the second screening (yet)

 

[giannis]

So if you pass their first screening why haven’t they sent an interview if they have send other ppl interviews.

The applicants who get rejected initially aren't even reviewed by the committee. It's automatic.
The ones that pass that will be viewed by the committee. Like I said, they use some formula that factors in your numbers so if everyone who initially passed that screening got an interview, the # of interviewees would be insane.

Also, passing the initial screening doesn't mean your chances of an interview is that high. It's still relatively low

I think is real. My status hasnt change and I heard that UDM is the only school that send interview without paying the supplemental fee.
note: I paid the supplemental fee like 4 weeks ago.

 

[TeethAreKewl]

My status on the AADSAS portal for Detroit Mercy switched to “invite for interview” but I haven’t received any notification from them directly.

Same here!

 

[deleted964765]

Same here!

Hi! Just wondering when you submitted your app. I submitted during the second week of June and I was wondering when I might hear back as my portal still says received/under review. Thanks!

Hi! I am wondering when you submitted your app. I submitted during the second week of the cycle (June 11 I believe) and mine still says received/under review. Just trying to gauge their timeline and see when I might hear back! Also, mind sharing your stats? Congrats!!

I submitted on June 19 and it was verified two days later. My status says Invited for Interview but I haven’t received any formal email.

If you want to know my stats. Message me privately

note: this is my third invitation to interview

Is that a holistic application review process though? When schools say they have a holistic application review process do they do the numbers formula?

Are u saying that u did not get a formal email from UDM?

I haven’t nor do I believe anyone else has either.

It's holistic once they decide to review the application.

 

[Dr. Smile]

I just checked my AADSAS portal and also got "invited for interview" for UDM!! I am not sure if it is really true because they only received my 2x2 photo 4 days ago (i guess that is when my application would be considered completed)... Anyone applied in the previous cycle can tell us what their experience??! I am so anxious.

No email either. Maybe we all will get one by Monday?

Last year’s thread said they got notified by email. Maybe we’ll get some information next week.

I received the Interview Invitation email confirmation from UDM this morning. I am interviewing on August 24. Good luck to everyone

Under the assumption I don't get HPSP (need a medical wavier so very unlikely) if I don't get a lot of scholarships or they won't let me work as a TA to pay off my debt I'm just going to get a masters and potentially a PhD. I'm very fortunate that I genuinely like and enjoy a lot of careers and can see how things go.

First post, my friends and it feels so good considering I am a re-applicant (was denied by all 9 schools last cycle without an interview anywhere). It truly is my life passion to become a dentist, I hope you all feel the same. And it doesn't matter how many years it takes or how much it costs or how challenging the education is because dentistry is the career I want for the rest of my life. Now lets get some more interviews. Stay positive, my friends.

Usually when they accept you they’ll tell you if you get a scholarship or not

 

[keep learning]

Hi guys, just wonder if any international applicants get an interview from Case Western so far? Thanks!

 

[BowlingDoctor]

Did you apply to more than one school this time?

3.. Three is more than 1 🙂 haha

 

[deleted936472]

I applied the 2nd week of June, I’ve gotten one interview so far, but I’ve seen people getting emails from Rutgers, UConn and CWRU (all schools that I applied to). Should I be worried that I haven’t heard back from these schools?

Do they send you a rejection the moment when they decide that they don’t want you, or do the schools all wait until December to reject people without interviews? I don’t have any DAT scores below 22 (26TS, 25 AA). Should I email the schools?

no, you should not be worried
just be patient, if your GPA is anywhere above 3.0, you will be fine with those DAT scores

I dont have an answer for you, unfortunately, but im equally anxious...I applied to those schools as well and havent heard. Albeit a bit later than you (June 20th) and much lower DAT, 22AA 22TS.

Yeah it’s been freaking me out, when I saw that some people started getting interviews from CWRU yesterday it started to worry me that I didn’t hear anything...sounds like we’re in the same boat though.

Certainly are...For CWRU they send out monthly so next batch wont be until late August, save your anxiety for that until then!
