Heck yeah! I have been on pins and needles. I know it is early but I have been stressing out and getting more worried every day!
 
Perhaps i should have applied to Nova and Case. The tuition scared me a little but who knows.

I loved Case Western last year. It's definitely not too late to apply! I added them at the end of July. 🙂

Thanks! That's how I felt haha. Really hoping to receive an invitation from one of the 3 Texas Schools also. One thing I am worried about is too many interviews during my fall semester, might cause some C's. I applied to 27 schools and have been doing non stop secondary applications for the last 2 weeks.

You probably could have applied to 15-18 and been just fine, but I completely understand why you applied to so many. I applied to 17 but am thinking of applying to a few more just to be safe. Good luck!

Exactly how I've felt with the two invites I've received thus far. How are we going to feel when we receive acceptances? I can only imagine

Hey Glimmer, could you please share some of the reasons you loved Case? I'm interviewing there in Sept and I'd love to hear your experiences. Thanks so much!

can you check the dental schools in CA statistics, dental schools care about GPA/DAT/EC's/LOR/PS.
and if what you say is true you will never find anyone in dental schools from a CSU

Please stay on topic. If you seriously want to talk about CSU and UC, which most of us dont really care about, make another thread. Dont post this crap in the Interview/Accepted thread.

I wish these forums are moderated.


EDIT: Because I am bored, I looked through @habiba and @csudental s' posts and I think (both of?) you need to make ONE thread about CSU and UC statistics. And since (both of?) you are an incoming freshmen in college (CSU I presume), you really don't need to be giving anybody advice. Now would also be a great time to polish up your professionalism (grammar, capitalization, actual sentences). Focus on your studies and EC's and we'll see you in 3 years.

And if you, @habiba and @csudental, have any questions besides CSU and UC statistics, we will be here.


P.S. Search bar is useful and so are forum etiquette
P.P.S. No one is asking about CSU and UC stats. Just you.

My ADEA GPA is really different from my transcript GPA (Does ADEA count A+ as 4.3?), are we posting ADEA GPA on this thread?

Anything pre December is good. Nova starts so early that they're probably fairly well booked up until then, and that's why you were offered a date in November. Congrats on the invite!
 
Hey Glimmer, could you please share some of the reasons you loved Case? I'm interviewing there in Sept and I'd love to hear your experiences. Thanks so much!

Gosh, I guess my biggest reason is kind of hard to quantify, but the school just felt like "home" to me. I had an extremely warm welcome and knew I would really enjoy the school and the area. My admissions and interview processes were very pleasant--I never found myself feeling confused or worried like I did with some other schools. I can tell that Case really cares about the well-being and success of its applicants (and students, of course!).

Case also has a really great clinical program, which was a key thing on my list. Check out the DentSim lab (there's info on the Case website). Also, when you're in the clinic, you have a patient coordinator who helps you schedule/recall your patients--which is a real gift! That way, you can focus on the work at hand instead of worrying about getting your patients to show up. Also, during your fourth year, one of your requirements is to come up with a business plan for your practice. You have other dentists and accountants at your disposal to help. To me, that experience sounds fantastic. There are also lots of community outreach events that the students participate in, which is nice since you get to practice and help people at the same time.

Oh, and Case was also in a really good location for me. I like Ohio, I don't mind the cold, and it was within driving distance from home!

I hope this helps! 🙂 Making my school decision last year was a really tough one, and Case was hard to turn down.

Wow, yes that helped a lot! Thank you for writing all of that and providing for us a look into their program, Glimmer! Everything you mentioned sounds so great, and now I'm even more excited to go there for my interview (if that's possible!?). I see what you mean by Case caring about the success of its students...by everything they offer in the clinic...I would love to have that support from the school.

I love the location too. I lived in Ohio for 7 years and I'd love to be able to go back and call it my home 🙂

Thanks so much again for your reply.

Yasssssss.
The SHADE is keeping me cool on this hot summer day
 
How often do dental schools send out interview invites? Do they send X amount one week and then wait a few weeks and send out X amount more?
 
Interview!!! I am really excited about their clinical program as well.

To piggyback off this real quick, Case's simlab is open/available to students 24/7. Some schools don't stay open past a certain hour or are not open at all on the weekend.

Hi everyone!
I had a quick question... when you post the GPAs, are you calculating them using the adea guide?
