got an interview at NYU, yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Members don't see this ad :)
I think your the happiest person i've seen from getting an NYU interview.


i think the "yeaaahhh" or his/her excitement isn't because it's NYU, but becuz it's just NY city =). im more excited to look around!
 
UDM!
on a Sunday night... :D


Hey, I remember you had questions on what to respond to UDM's "DAT retake." When you told them you were willing to consider retaking the DAT, did you mention what approximate date you'll take them?


Congratulations! I just sent my response, so I hope to hear from them really soon!

Good luck!

no I didn't give them a specific set date. I just said I am willing if necessary. My first DAT take all my scores met the minimum so hopefully they don't tell me to retake.

Good luck with your app too!
 
Phew, I had gone over 2months not hearing anything from anyone....but i just got Maryland this morning via email!

tentatively set for Dec 2, im stoked, might get to stop by MTL on the way home :D

I also have Dec 2. See you there.
 
I don't have a good GPA @ allllllll! But, I think I've got decent DAT scores and I'm pretty confident w/ my personal statement. I'm in grad school for an MPH and my recs/dental/research/volunteer experience are all fairly strong I think.

I went to Iowa for undergrad (and I'm at Iowa for grad school) and they were the first to reject me haha! :D Then, Indiana was to follow with a rejection letter soon after. I'm freaking out cuz I haven't gotten any interview invites yet! Help? :confused:

Can anyone be totally forward and tell me if I have a chance getting in anywhere at this point? I'm pretty good at handling bad news ;)

Don't lose hope... but usually when people do a post-bac its to compensate for their low undergrad GPA. The fact that you didn't improve much may hurt you in the end.... but your DAT isn't terrible... that RC is ridiculous... you never know!
 
UCSF~~ that makes total of 4 interview so far...I'm so excited
 
Members don't see this ad :)
I'm surprised they still have spots...when was your int date?

Yea me too, I haven't scheduled it yet, I have to wait for the letter in the mail... I'm hoping they have a spot free earlier then may
 
Is Pitt very slow with their interview? This is the one school I am waiting for, and I am hoping someone can shed light on their interviewing process.

Thanks in advance.
 
I'm surprised they still have spots...when was your int date?

i met the associate dean of admissionsin TN, and he said they take time in interviewing students...not necessarily rushing to fill the class dec 1st.

Thanks in advance.

They do two groups of 3-4 interview days. 3-4 days pre-dec 1 then another 3-4 days post-dec 1. So there will be a whole bunch of interviews going out after dec 1 but i dont think they have the dates picked out yet so just be patient.

i don't get it...
 
i don't get it...

I got this information while at my Pitt interview... so I'm sure it's true...
Pitt picks half of the class pre-dec and the other half post-dec. They have a total of 6-8 interview days. Interview days 1-3 or 1-4 have already gone out, and they will notify those people on dec. 1st. After that they will set up the remaining interviews and pick who they want for the rest of the class. So just be patient they will have many more interviews going out after dec.
 
ok here's the least confusing way to put it:

3 interview dates in the fall for 40 of the 80 spots (will be notified DEC 1 if accepted)

3 interview dates in the spring
(post dec 1st) for the other 40 of 80 spots

they do accept more than the 40 from each batch, and Rose said they fill about 1/5 of their class from the waitlist

also there's about 50 ppl at each interview so there you go
 
I got my first interview today!!!! NYU for Dec. 11th :soexcited:

Temple...
I am going to call them tomorrow....





to withdraw....LOL
 
Has anyone confirmed an interview date based on their AADSAS status alone? Just wondering b/c with the postal strike going on it may take a while for my mail to arrive..
 
Temple...
I am going to call them tomorrow.... to withdraw....LOL

Aww, why no love for Temple? I was hoping to get an interview there to check it out because I know two dentists who went there and highly recommended the program, but so far the school has been giving me the silent treatment after taking my money. Oh well, forget you Temple, if I get into Stony on Dec 1 I won't need you anymore :p

When I was there on Wednesday, they said that today (Friday) was the last day of Pre- Dec 1 interviews...so i would guess that they aren't doing interviews that Wednesday.

ASDOH INTERVIEW via email!!!!!!
 
Last edited:
I submitted my secondary on sept 5th but I don't know exactly when my file was completed. AADSAS mailed out my LORs on sept 29th though.
 
yay i got an interview at Louisville on Jan 12.
and I just found out about Meharry for Feb. 20th and NOVA for Feb. 26!!

So far, I've been to one interview..at MCG, my top choice....so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Dec 1st.
 
I have an interview at UNLV for Jan. 15th but would like to switch for either Dec. 4th or Dec. 11th. If somebody decides to accept elsewhere, can they please cancel their UNLV interview and let me know so I can take their spot (if Dec. 4 or 11) ? I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
