Nah - no shots yet - I am dreading the needles
 
Has anyone received a financial aid package yet.
 
Ok... So y'all will be living in the east towers (grad students and honor students) so it is NOTHING like the "wild west"!!! The building is moderatly clean, it is secure and it is close to absolutly all of the night life in DC... Five minutes from Adams Morgan and about ten from Georgetown, a few blocks from U Street. My rent in DC is 1500 for a one bedroom... 1000 won't get you much and may get you a studio... Many people share houses, but I would really not rely on one day because 90 percent of places require a credit check and other approval, unless you pay for your rent up front... The towers is very convienient if you aren't from the area and for the first year and honestly if I wasn't from DC or if I had loans to repay and my parents weren't paying for my rent I would live there... It is not updated with granite counters and new appliances, but it works... And if you have limited resources its the best place... Hope this helps (this is coming from someone who took undergrad classes at HU, and is very familiar with the dental school and many of the students - at least 20 per year)
 
Toothprincess, are you going to join us in the class of 2012 or have you decided to go elsewhere?
 
Hey Ya'll
Don't know if you've read the email from Ms. Clarke yet but the HUCD class of 2012 is officially full! I'm looking forward to getting the database she's going to send out on Monday with all of the names and info on our future classmates. I'm so excited! I can't wait to see you all in August! I believe that we're in for a long 4 years. I just pray all of us really get along well so that we can learn to love and help each other along the way so that it'll be an enjoyable experience...and ALL of us make it to the end when we are officially DENTISTS! I know that sounds cheesey but I don't care...I want us to be tight 🙂.
 
Some people may still drop out so there is hope for the people still waiting!! I am still not sure P... I am between two schools... I wish that I didn't know so many people at HU... Because it would be a no brainer

There is still hope for the one lucky waitlister. There has been a slight change in the class. Over the past few months I have been dealing with some serious family issues. After talking with my family and adcoms I have decided to defer my acceptance until Fall 2009. 🙁 I was really looking forward to meeting you guys. However, I just need time to resolve these issues before matriculating into dental school. Good luck to all of you waiting to hear something. I'll see you guys in 09! Whoever gets my position in the class of 2012 please represent to the fullest!
 
Awww we'll miss you PC. Hope everything works out with your family. And to the waitlisters...I apologize...I wasn't trying to be negative, or make it seem that all hope was gone. I was just excited and...unknowingly...🙁inconsiderate. There's always hope and I wish the best to you all.
 
I don't know if you've noticed our facebook group we have Dr.Prettyteeth. It has become quite a network for the class of 2012. We have been contacting one another for quite some time. You might want to try it out.

Awww PCrooks, I was really looking forward to meeting you in August. I understand though... you've have to do what you have to do (cliche, I know but true just the same). I pray that everything works out for the best and that God will watch over you and your family and that you will come out of your situation blessed. Keep the faith and I will see you in 2009. By the way we still look forward to your input on this thread and on facebook. 🙂

Good luck to all.
