What were your volunteer hours like?

 

[hunterx2]

Am I missing the bus or something or is it too early to be concerned???? 25/24 = ZERO interviews. I was second batch.

I'm hoping it's because most of my schools have not been mentioned on this thread at all yet.

It's not all about the DAT. If you see most kids who have interviews have 19-21 DAT. Your GPA perhaps?

Also the schools that you applied to might not have been giving out invites yet.

It's not TOO early to be concerned. Maybe other things on your application make that 25/24 less impressive.

If SDN taught me anything last year... It's that a high DAT score doesn't always = interview or acceptance. There are plenty of reapplicants that can tell you this.

Some people went from no interviews to 2 in a matter of hours last year, so hang in there.

It's pretty apparent that most schools haven't sent any interviews yet. Why is this a difficult concept for people to grasp? Be patient.

 

[jeffity]

Wish there was a list of general start dates for schools. Seeing that some of your schools are trying to get classes underway might help some of y'all be less anxious. It really seems to be an extra anxious bunch this time around (understandably). And if admissions staff is limited, their attention is going to be making sure their CO2017 class is filled and ready to go. There is still some movement out there.

How reliable is SDN when it comes to ppl reporting whether or not they've been invited? Can I assume that, for instance, since nobody has posted about UF, that UF has not started offering interviews? That's the case with most of my schools.

[bobDAbuilder]

of the schopls i applied to there are 4-6 schools that have sent out interviews already to others but not me.

23DAT, 3.6 GPA.

sad day.

A good rule of thumb: start worrying when the schools you applied to starts appearing in this thread but not in your inbox. Other than that, assume otherwise.

There actually have been some interviews in the UF thread:

Something to ponder about:
If I refused to accept a DS's rejection, would it still consider a rejection?

A rejection isn't a rejection if one refused to accept it. 👍

It's still early to be concern about not getting an interview invite. I think one should be worry by late October and November. Peace!😍

Refusing to accept it does not turn it in to an acceptance though... And sadly you'll need one of these to get into dental school.

Yeaaa....no

 

[peanutmonster]

That's good news! Thanks! 😀
I know that last year, UNC and ECU didn't start giving out interviews until mid-August.
UoP didn't start giving invites until September.
And, right now, UConn only seems to be giving out interviews to people in the northeast. This is a different tactic than what I think they've done in the past. Last year, they started giving out interviews later in the cycle and just sent them out to people all over the nation. However, it is really peculiar that nobody outside of the NE has gotten one--the farthest away from Connecticut they've gone is Virginia, which is still pretty northeastern. It seems almost too strong a correlation to be coincidental, or maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part.

Do you know how rejection emails work from previous years? When do they send them

 

[Rubberpulp]

have any of you guys thought about canceling your credit card payment to the schools that reject you?? like NOVE for example that have taken the secondary but rejected people a couple days later......

Interesting idea...hmmm...try it. I wonder if that would work

I totally get ones frustration, but the CC will be asking why you want to dispute the charge. Getting rejected would not sound like a valid reason to dispute a application fee IMHO.

Uh... do you not plan on applying to that school, if you don't get in this cycle?

Congrats glimmer!! I was getting worried that if you weren't hearing back with your stats then I'm never gonna hear back with my stats. Rock the interview!!

 

[dental diva]

Why was your letter not accepted?

i'm gonna be in the 289th batch by the time my new letter gets sent.

apparently my professor didn't put a letterhead on my letter...so i guess it just looks shady and they won't count it. some schools said they'd let it slide but i'm still trying to contact my professor for a new one or just find a new professor in general. I am so so so sad 🙁

Do you know if the letter from the dentist needs to have a letterhead?

What do you mean by "didn't accept"? As in, it didn't fulfill their requirements? Wasn't available to them? Did you get an "Application under review" email from those schools?

"Didn't accept" as in it doesn't count as a letter so im missing one....and no I didn't get an app complete email, which is why I called these specific schools, lecom and case were two that I called so far. I didn't get app complete emails from them and a few others so I'm gonna call them all...should I call the ones who did give me app complete emails? This is actually my worst nightmare...I really needed my app in early.

Normally I'd say don't need to call if they did send an App Complete email, but you really can't go wrong by double checking.

Apparently they had a glitch in the system and it keep saying that my LOR weren't in yet until two days ago. They finally corrected it and I received the apps complete email yesterday.

 

[zww]

thanks.

Yes, I received that e-mail at 2:30am exactly 24hours before I recieved my invite! And my online portal had a glitch as well--it showed my app was incomplete and that they had not received 2 of my LORs.
