Firstly, I am sorry for the questions you are about to read and think "wow, she really needs to look past her nose"! I promise they pertain to this thread! I simply get near-sighted when I'm worried and am unable to find the answers I need to my questions.

Short hand information:
I applied to UK, UL, UF, NOVA, LECOM, UAB, and GRU.
I've filled out supplementary applications for NOVA, LECOM, UAB, and GRU and paid my processing fees to UK and UL.
I am "under review" by UK, UF, and GRU.

UF simply has application under review on my AADSAS application with no fee or supplementary requested. Which worries me as a Florida resident. Is that normal? Another thing I find weird is that UL has my application as completed yet I haven't had a supplementary requested or interview or been rejected? How is that? I've filled out supplementary applications for LECOM, NOVA, and UAB but there is not a "decision" posted under my AADSAS application yet. Good, bad, or don't sweat it?

Below are only the schools that I have a "school decision" for under my AADSAS application. I am beginning to worry and over think the statuses posted so if anyone has clarification as to what a complete application means with no invite for interview or rejection please let me know! Also, is it normal for schools to take a gosh awful long time to "review" the applications? Are my statistics even competitive enough to continue to pay all these fees to get into at least one of the schools? Everyone else seems to hear back in such a short amount of time! I'm such a worry wart, my apologies!

This is not the correct thread to ask in. Post a thread in the pre dental section please.
 
Just look at the facts @nauti.shell . None of us are in adcoms nor have really any idea what/who gets in. Only maybe 9-10 schools so far have offered interviews. Looking at the last years interview thread, most interviews come in waves for each school from about now to September-ish. You can look at that to take a wild guess when the school's youve listed start giving interviews. You look fine. Dont start freaking out just yet.
 
@DATtestTho, I did but it only made me worry more. It seemed to me that more pre-dents were getting interview at this point in time then in the past. I have three pre-dent friends of whom have already received interviews. Wasn't sure if schools were stepping up their game or if it was my mind playing tricks.

I just want to ace these interviews and be one step closer to my dreams. Thank you all for your insight and support and for making me lose my sanity waiting for a chance to interview somewhere!

I know my gpa is lower than most. But I have been doing a master's degree in an orofacial pain research lab and I have a 4.0 graduate gpa. Plus I'm a dental assistant, and have very high community service and shadowing hours. I'm so shocked to get an interview from Minnesota and am kind of blown away right now.

Did you get an interview date?
 
So I saw my AADSAS Portal got updated to "Invited to Interview" for UDM, but I just sent in my supplemental on Thursday, so I'm thinking this might be a glitch...

By supplemental are you taking about the photograph and money order? I could be wrong but I don't think they require a supplemental.
