To those of you who got Columbia interviews... Did you have 3 science LORs like they were asking?
 
to those who applied to USC...i got an email saying how they received my app and are asking to give them the DAT scores from ADA...the one they get from AADSAS isnt enough?
 
Congrats to everyone who got interviews. Hope I get one soon... 🙂
 
man, I want more interviews

I know what you mean.. in the beginning, all I wanted was one interview... just one chance. I didn't think I would receive any at all, so I was and am grateful and very surprised when I received my first one. But then it hits you... suddenly you just want more and more and more and it feels like its never enough. I feel like this application process is making me into a greedy person 🙁 Anyone feel the same? I feel like a bad person now. Anyhow, I do wish everyone here gets at least one interview! 🙂

I wouldn't say bad, but it's not good either. You probably want to be showing them that you're on the ball and that you really want this. Holding it for two months doesn't quite portray that. I realize there are some long secondaries and that some people have a weakness with writing, but this is a professional school we're applying to here.

If your app has only been missing the secondary for quite some time (LORs, scores are there already), then I might start calling it bad.

😀 I hope for the best for both of us! 🙂

Anyhow, is it true ASDOH gave out interviews already? On predents, it says that one person already received an interview for Sept. 20 😕

So what you're saying is that applying to dental school is similar to doing hard drugs? You get addicted to the interview high and then turn into a horrible person...
