Is that a real thing?
LOL!!! Yes! Some schools update your status a few days early to tell you check back. Sometimes it means nothing, but according to sdn forums for the schools I interviewed with, it meant you were getting an acceptance. Even if it means nothing, it would be nice to see that these schools are actively doing ANYTHING with my file right now lol!

Which schools are known to do that?
 
Which schools are known to do that?
SIU and UK have done this for the last few years. If you're waiting to hear from a specific school, go skim their previous cycles forum. Skip down to the November posts and see if they mention status updates. Obviously, I'm just shooting in the dark and looking for ways to pass time for the next 9 days, so no promises lol!
 
Anyone here got an interview from buffalo after continuing review?
 
How is everyone getting by this last week before December 2? It’s going soooo slowly.
Im currently "studying" for an exam that I have tomorrow. After that, Im hoping to be very busy on Thursday with Thanksgiving, im volunteering on Friday at the local soup kitchen, and then im hoping to find things to do that will keep me occupied (movies, clean, study...drink lots of wine). Im sure I will end up checking AADSAS every 5 min though 🙁

I wish they at least sent me an email but it is okay lol. I added U Conn in October because it is Pass/Fail. It was not my top choice so I am not that hurt
 
This might be a dumb question...but when you guys are listing your stats, when you say sgpa- are you referring to BCP or science gpa?? I know there is a slight difference but I am just curious science ADEA AADSAS lists both! Also, which one do schools pay more attention to? Thanks!

I think most people post their science GPA based on aadsas or tmdsas calculation. I wouldn’t worry about it though because I’m sure half the people on here either inflate their scores for ego or change them to be less identifiable.

BCP GPA and sGPA are two different things. For example, on my AADSAS application, my sGPA was 3.43 (with +/-) and BCP GPA was 3.32 (with +/-). BCP GPA is just biology, chemistry, and physics courses. Your sGPA includes ALL science related courses which includes electives as well (like biology as a nutrition course).
 
Best wishes to everyone here. We have all struggled, strived, and pushed on in our own unique circumstances. I don't care what anyone says, this game is a marathon, and
I give credit to anyone that even
enters the race.
 
Wow it’s December 1st! I haven’t been able to sleep well for the past 3 days.. I’m sure tonight won’t be any different!

Also is anyone else unable to sign in to aadsas on mobile safari?

Yep mine has been lagging all weekend
 
Is anyone else looking too much into what their ADEA AADSAS status means? Like if yours has NOT changed from when you had your interview, from "invited for interview" to "application complete". Please help me ease my mind I am going crazy.

I honestly don’t think it means anything

You will find out soon.
 
My status just changed to “check back December 2nd” for LSU. I’m hoping for good news tomorrow!
 
To keep up with the annual tradition, here it is. Good luck everyone!

Twas the night before D-Day.
I sat alone in my house,
With my hand hovering over the computer mouse.
I'd been refreshing for three hours, but I didn't care,
Because I knew midnight would soon be here.

All of my friends are surely in bed,
With nightmares of finals running through their heads.
But finals are the furthest thing from my mind,
As I refreshed and refreshed, hoping an Accepted would be what I'd find.

The mailman is sick, with this I can't cope!
I lost my phone charger, so AADSAS is my only hope!!
Refreshing and refreshing, awaiting a change,
When, I finally noticed something strange.

Check back on Dec. 1st? was what I was reading!
Surely this has to have some other meaning!!
Could this be like the blanks of last year?
Oh, I wish midnight were already here!

Its been three months since my last interview.
For the decisions, I've been waiting. If you only knew!
The uncertainty is unbearable.
This anticipation is incomparable.

To think in mere minutes the wait could end,
Makes my weary mind bend.
Years of hard work have led to this night,
And the possibilities set me affright!

And here it is, already 12:01!
And the status updates? NONE!
Don't these Adcoms know how I'm feeling?
For how long my head has been reeling?!

All of these emotions have worn me out!
My friends don't know what all the fuss is about.
It's only the most important day of my life, I reason.
An acceptance would perfect this holiday season!

But 5 minutes later, no update yet.
Oh, I give up! IM GOING TO BED!!
 
So are you guys getting the results on Monday again? lol
Best of luck
Just to let you know, last year I didn't get any result on Dec 3rd as my my only interview was on November the 30th lol
So I got in that school in January, and all my other interviews and results were post December.
So do not lose hope and best of luck <3
 
Does anyone know how soon your portal is updated if you are rejected/waitlisted?
 
So if they are traditionally sending out invitations tomorrow?
Invitations for what? Interviews?

They'll usually only send an acceptance/waitlist/rejection if you interviewed.

If you didn't interview, there's a high chance of the status for that school not changing as majority of dental schools will not update status even though you may have already been rejected (still could receive interviews though).
 
Best of luck to everyone tomorrow and in the upcoming weeks! We've all put in our absolute best. I hope everyone gets into their top choice school and is happy with their options. We've nearly made it to the next step! Keep your heads up, and it will all work out.
 
Best of luck future dentists! I am happy for you all, I hope you all get into Dental School in the following hours! It has been a long journey, but you all made through here, so be proud of that! We got this guys! I am praying for you all!

best of luck from Miami, Fl!
3 hours away from the most important day in our life!

I only had 2 interviews from 10 schools so I really need that Goodluck message haha!
 
Not to stress anyone out some more, but this thread has a list of the times schools started calling/emailing/updating the portal in 2017. For the curious minds out there that have limited patience (i.e., nearly all of us).
