Ferneezy what kind of crazy stuff do you have on your application that you already have five interviews? We have very similar stats and I only have one 🙁 *jealousy*

well, i'm a non-trad about 12 years older than your typical straight outta college applicant. and you're probably also aware my grades are garbage...so i just made sure my ECs, PS, and LORs were not only awesome, but conveyed what i will bring to dental school and dentistry as a whole.

i made the decision to pursue this path about four years ago, even then only knowing that i'd apply when i thought i could present the best app i could. as a former dean of admissions told me earlier this year: "the cycle will tell you how well you prepared yourself. if you have 3+ interviews pre-december, chances are someone will take a chance on you".

not that anyone is a definitive shoe-in, but i would probably be comfortable saying that applicants like myself are likely the ones that adcoms take chances on.

as i go through these interviews, if schools tell me what part of my app they called me up for, i'll gladly share what they say. if i had to pick just one thing...probably my ps.

I had no clue you were in your 30s! I must have missed that along the way.

Congratulations, Ferneezy! 😀
 
Congrats Ferneezy!! I am glad to hear that I am not the only 'senior citizen' around here 🙂. I am past my mid thirties with wife and a kid!

my habits of sipping fine, aged bourbon whilst draped in velvet in my mahogany study do not translate well on a forum.

you guys (and gals) with the kids and the family stuff to handle have it way harder than i could imagine. if anyone is like you in my dental class i'll probably make it a point to go out of my way to make sure they're getting along.
 
agreed...I am only 25 but I have a 5 year old son so I feel like I am in my mid forties!! It's so hard!!

Thanks! I'm not sure. I know last year every school had a status as soon as we applied. This time around it was delayed and some schools aren't showing up. Don't exactly know what's going on. Good luck though!

Ferneezy I think you have a great chance at getting an interview at Colorado. Just look at the other schools you have gotten interviews at! Colorado will love you eventually. Are you still a Colorado resident?

This is a little off. Last year was just like this year. Some schools do not update the portal and therefore you will never see a status from them there.
