3 interviews (NYU, COLUM, BU), I'm starting to feel a lot more comfortable, but at the same time what if I suck at interviews? Either way, I'm feeling really blessed right now. Good luck to everyone else waiting for their invite 🙂

Fourth interview!!

BU emailed this morning.

Darn... I'm 2 for 4 now 🙁

 

[ecft07]

yeah they did...

I see. Congrats on your interview and good luck to the rest of us! 😳

 

[SpringDDS]

Darn... I'm 2 for 4 now 🙁

Better than 0-4.

I really am surprised I didn't get an interview at BU. I really thought that would have been a good spot for me.

WHOA, completed 8/12 and they already offered you an interview? That makes me nervous... I know this is going to sound rude, but your stats aren't OMG AMAZING. Was there something especially unique about your app? Congrats!

Just got a rejection letter for BU for 2010-2011 cycle... I'm confused. Did anyone else that applied last year get this too? Such a bad timing... The day when they started inviting others for interviews!

Something just showed up in my inbox. Subject: From Boston University Henry H. Goldman School of Dental Medicine. Open it. It says...

Thank you for submitting an application to Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine. We have begun reviewing applications and are in the process of inviting candidates to interview during our fall months. Interview invitations will be sent through email.

NOOOOO WHAT A HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE FAKE OUT. I guess this means they're passing me over right now? Someone console me 🙁

I just got the same thing! What a terrible terrible tease...

Same here... I got my rejection letter from last cycle and then a few minutes later I got that e-mail. Does that mean they are passing over our applications? I assume so.

Did any of the current BU interviewees receive this email, too?

 

[PlasticSurgeon3]

I also got the BU email today BUT, mine read:
Thank you for submitting an application to Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine. We have begun reviewing applications and are in the process of inviting candidates to interview during our fall months. If you wish to be considered for an interview please make sure that you have paid your application fee and completed our required supplemental application.

so its kind of like everyone elses, but im guessing they still havent made their decision about me, since they are asking for the supplemental application and application fee. So maybe they havent decided on you guys either, and maybe it isnt a rejection letter. So now i guess i better go pay lol

They scheduled me for December 2nd.. Does that automatically put me at a disadvantage? Or does BU not give many acceptances on december 1st anyways? Did anyone else that got the BU invite get scheduled pre december?? Congrats everyone!

 

[bluepills]

Are the Boston interviewees so far all Post-December? Maybe for those of us who received the under review e-mail are being reviewed for pre-December spots...I would be a lot less frustrated, if that was the case. lol

 

[SpringDDS]

Oddly, I received neither an interview offer, nor an email about still being considered.

Just had my interview with Case today. I felt that it went pretty well. It was open-case and very conversational. It was a very relaxed setting. I really liked the school but the cost is a different matter. We will see what happens.

Yeah! One down!!!😀

yeah, i would say that they follow their agenda pretty well. Both my interviews (case, you get interview by two people) actually went a little fast. The second one only lasted 30 mins, instead of 50min and thats mostly because I ran out of questions to ask. I ask most of my questions to the first interviewer.

I'm pretty sure they just didn't get to yours yet, I mean if you haven't paid the aPplication fee yet, im pretty sure they will contact you, because I'm assuming they want every1s fees. Unless I'm mistaken. SDN please let me know if I am

 

[drhygiene]

OMG its SUCH a relief to see that others on this thread also got that horrible BU email telling us our apps are still being shifted through!!!! but OMG it was HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE...i was nervous as hell reading it b/c it was the FIRST email from a school all week adn then I come here and I see people getting interviews but that others also got the same emaeil I did 🙂 hopefully we hear good things soon??? I'm not sure what to make of it all, but i just want ONE interview sooo sooooo bad!!!

 

[Dentist32]

Got that BU email a min ago. Like everyone else, I was excited then bumd out. lol.. But it doesnt mean I got rejected so we will see.

Gluck to everyone, will keep you posted

 

[mightyrat]

Congrats! what day are you interviewing?

the 14th of september 🙂

 

[little Buddy]

Are the Boston interviewees so far all Post-December? Maybe for those of us who received the under review e-mail are being reviewed for pre-December spots...I would be a lot less frustrated, if that was the case. lol

crossing my fingers!

Mine was scheduled for Nov 2. On predents, a few seem to be scheduled for October, too. I'm not sure what their method is for handing out the different dates. I'm sure they haven't filled all of their spots yet though! Hang in there! Good luck!

You will hear of plenty soon, my friend. I think you're in great shoes as an international applicant

 

[Dynamo]

Mayyyyyybe Boston is giving post dec interviews to ppl who have lots of significant planned coursework in the summer and fall semesters but also applied early, so they want to see the academic update before interviewing them? I dunno, just a thought... there has to be a method to their madness

[Accent]

Did anyone with BU invites have cc units? They say that they don't accept cc units for prereqs, but just wondering if there were any exceptions.

 

[Goose340]

I just got played by san antonio. haha. I see how all you guys that applied to BU felt. This is what the email said:

Lol, I just got the same email... also got played The thing is... I called them in June and they told me they no longer sent out notification that applications were received. 😕

hmmm...I think you have a lot better chance at getting in. I think they only except around 5 OOS applicants each year. So this is kind of a long shot for me. I don't have GREAT Stats.
