**Official Interview/Acceptance/Rejection Thread 2011-2012**

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
so here is what happened, i was driving on freeway and this lady called me, i had my windows down and didn't hear her clearly, She said she called to schedule for interview appointment and i just asked her if i could call her back today when i could actually hear what she was saying and that was it! It was a total misunderstanding from my part, i heard her saying University of Washington when she actually said Western University (I know it is not even close!! 😉, just checked the number she called from and matched with the Western Office of Admission, So sorry about the confusion
The only update i have from Washington is the email i got from them just as i said before, i haven't received the secondary nor the request for the fee, hopefully soon though
good luck everyone and sorry again!

Dear .....,
Thank you for applying to the University of Washington School of Dentistry. We have received your AADSAS application for the 2012 admission cycle. The next step is the initial screening to determine if your application meets our criteria to receive a supplemental application. If so, we will then ask for additional information that includes an application fee. This process can take a minimum of several weeks.

Due to the volume of applications, we ask that you do not respond to this informational email! If you need to update personal information on your application i.e. name, address, email, phone number you may do so directly on the AADSAS application website.

Thank you again for applying to our School!

applied to 14 schools. just added nova like 2 weeks ago and got rejection letter already! but haven't heard anything from other schools lame...

DAT. AA/TS/PAT- 19/19/20 BIO 17
BCP gpa 3.95
total gpa 3.85

Very weird that Nova rejected you with that high GPA and decent AA DAT (is it bio?). Someone with a 3.4 and 20 AA got an interview, but you got rejected. Very strange. A 17 bio is not the best but with that GPA doesn't show crap. Surprising.
 
so here is what happened, i was driving on freeway and this lady called me, i had my windows down and didn't hear her clearly, She said she called to schedule for interview appointment and i just asked her if i could call her back today when i could actually hear what she was saying and that was it!

That's the worst lie I've ever heard in my life. No one would ever tell a dental school "I'm gonna have to call you back later". They would have just rolled up their window.

Actually I also told Vanessa that I need to call her back. It could happen.

Hey all!
I got an interview with LECOM in the beginning of August, but the school is not appearing at all on the AADSAS website under the "decisions" tab. Should I be worried?
thank you 🙂
 
I got the same email about a month before I got my supplemental.

I just double checked, and I never got that email... I only got the secondary email, and then the secondary received email... 😕 Odd

Congrats! When is your Columbia interview?
 
Sorry I should add a few things! I sent out my app to most schools on 7/11, and added Louisville and MUSC on 8/5 after finding out MUSC sometimes counts North Carolinians as in-state.

My Columbia interview is on 9/16, and I am scheduling VCU on Monday!
