It's my understanding that some schools hardly even look at applications until August. Or at least they don't give interview invites until mid to late august. I know for sure my state school is that way. They didn't even look at applications until about a week or two ago.

has anyone heard back from Tufts??? i haven't even gotten an email about doing supplemental/app fee and they've had all my stuff for weeks. I think i should call/email them...
 
Tufts won't respond until October at the very earliest. They are probably the latest to respond out of all the dental schools.
