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

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Auto email from UMD today (doubt it matters, but I was in an early batch):
"Dear [Me],
Your application has been processed and your admissions file has been forwarded to the Committee on Dental Recruitment and Admissions for review.
Due to the volume of applications that we receive, we respectfully request that you do not contact our office to check on the status of your application at this time. Our office will contact you if additional information is required.

Sincerely,
The Office of Admissions
University of Maryland School of Dentistry"

Got this email today from Tennessee :

The University of Tennessee College of Dentistry has received your AADSAS application. We appreciate your interest in our college. We anticipate interviewing applicants through the month of March 2012. An interview is mandatory before acceptance. Please read the below carefully.

During any admissions cycle, a candidate will hear from us a maximum of two times:

1. Invitation letter for an interview
2. Letter of acceptance / non-acceptance


It is normal for months to pass without any communication. Please do not contact us asking for a "status check" on your application. Every applicant is a candidate for acceptance until we have told them officially, in writing, that they are not.
 
Pitt interview (via email). This past Saturday. Forgot to update this thread.
 
Golfguy is not being rude/arrogant---he's just pointing out how a site like predents.com is only an accurate resource if those who used it also contributed. I also have a predents profile but I removed the link on my posts because I'm sick of trolls and lurkers.
 
I got that too.. This week last year they sent out their first interviews though.

I also got that email a few days ago. As far as I know, they haven't started offering interviews yet... hopefully soon!

I got it too. Is it like a maybe pile which they go back to near the end of the cycle? It kind of feels like rejection. =(

I think so. I hope they're just giving preference to Americans first

Did anyone get an interview deferral from Iowa?????

Is this really bad???? 🙁


We have carefully reviewed your application materials from the American Dental Education Association, and our Admissions Committee has chosen to defer your application at this time and not offer an interview. We are unable to offer everyone who applies to our program an opportunity to interview. You will not receive supplemental application materials from us at the present time. Your application has not been cancelled or denied, and should active consideration of your file resume, you will be contacted.

Thank you for your interest in The University of Iowa. Please contact me with any questions or concerns with which I may be of assistance.
 
I got an interview deferral from iowa too...the wording "should active consideration of your file resume" makes me think that it will probably lead to a future rejection, but maybe they're just seeing what else is out there before giving out all of their interviews?
