**Official Interview/Acceptance/Rejection Thread 2012-2013**

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
What was your AADSAS status when you received your invitation?

penn does not use aadsas to update statuses. they state that in the letter they send u, when they tell u ur app is complete. they dont use aadsas at all. so im going to assume his aadsas status was BLANK!
 
Rejected by Midwestern, IL via snail mail.😱

AADSAS mail-out date: 07/13/2012
Application complete date: 8/17/2012
GPA (science, overall): (3.78, 3.82)
DAT (AA/TS/PAT/Reading/any section below a 17): 21/22/19/17/none

I'm kinda shocked, this was my least expected school to get rejected from. There is something seriously wrong with this school. It's rejecting some really good applicants😎.
I got an interview from UMD and not them, that's funny:laugh:.

Which date do you schedule it?
 
I just got the email today but I called like 4 times and kept getting the voicemail so I haven't had a chance to pick a date. I'm calling first thing tomorrow. I hope all the good days aren't taken!

Yep. Penn, along with about twelve other schools I applied to, is not listed on my school decision page on AADSAS.

The only day still available pre-Dec was Nov. 29th!
 
How long do people usually hear back from U Penn once the complete AADSAS application was mailed out and the supplemental application was received? It seems that U Penn only sends official interview invitations by snail mail, and rarely uses email for communication, is that correct?
 
First post! I’ve been using SDN for at least 2 years as a guest, but I’ve never posted (and thank you SDNers for your DAT breakdowns, school reviews, etc.; it has been SO helpful in this process). I think it’s time to start contributing a bit.

1st Interview:
School: Nova
Notification date: July 24, 2012
Method of notification: E-mail
Interview Date: Oct. 19, 2012

Applied at 13 schools. No rejections/deferrals, but still waiting on 9 schools:

Oklahoma, Nebraska, Colorado, North Carolina, Oregon, Washington, ASDOH, UNLV, Ohio St.

I’m a little worried that I’ve gotten no interviews in September. I know some of these schools are really tough OOS (UNC, Colorado, Washington, etc.), but I’m a bit disappointed that I haven’t gotten a response from the others.

Good luck to everyone!

Congrats to the both of you for your multiple invites! With regards to your interview invitation to LECOM, did your status ever state that they will review your file again in 90 days? If not, I guess I should prepare for a rejection.

Thanks in advance!

For lecom, i emailed them about letters and credentials because they were never updated until the 10th when she did it after I emailed. My status was complete under review or some long message like that then I got the email today. I don;t know what to tell you but I am really excited to actually see the dental school, not the boring medical school this time lmao.

You know USC, they always seem to give out interviews to ONE person in July.... and then the rest two months later.

Yes, I meant 9.

Did LECOM contact you after AADSAS mailed out your application? I heard back from every single school that I applied, either as application received or invite to supplemental application, except LECOM. According to their website, they will send you a password and username to complete the supplemental. Mine was sent out last Friday, 09/14/12. Does it take a while to hear back from them? Thanks.

I would give them a call. if you have gmail they were having a lot of problems with emails being sent out. I called and they sent it a second time and I finally received it then! good luck!
 
UMD request for a secondary today via e-mail! We'll see what happens...
