Has anyone with a February interview date heard back yet? It's March 1st and I haven't received any news so I'm freaking out! Thanks in advance.

I'm feeling the same way! You're not alone!

Most acceptances for January interviews were sent out 2/2 on a Thursday, so I'm assuming you guys will hear back soon! If I recall correctly, admissions committee meets once a month!

I got wait listed...

 

[CheekCity23]

Scheduled interview for 3/14!

 

[ineedaboosta]

If I recall correctly, admissions meets once a month, usually at the end.

So there's no dif between an interview at the beginning vs the end of the month? They would all be reviewed at the same time?

 

[imalwayshungry0309]

anyone who interviewed earlier in the month get accepted?

 

[gator_guy]

They said the admissions committee only meets once a month which stinks

 

[mizzoudds22]

interviewed feb 7th. got the alternate list letter in the mail on friday 3/10. Just emailed the admissions committee to ask to be removed from the list because I have another acceptance. good luck everyone

I believe so, I'm not positive though and I'd hate to misinform anyone! I think they'll tell you if you call.

 

[gator_guy]

any word yet for march interviews?

 

[MickeyMouse45]

when is the last interview? waitlisted here since dec 1st.
i believe they will review waitlisted applicants in april.

 

[ineedaboosta]

Any tips on how to prepare for the interview?

Any tips on how to prepare for the interview?

The best tip I can give you is to prepare as if you are going to a normal dental school interview. Despite it being a MMI style interview, looking back, I believe that preparing for the interview helped me a lot.
The questions will be random. No one asked me why I wanted to be a dentist. It is your job to convey that in your answers, or at least point to attributes you posses that sound appealing.
The goal of the questions is to see how you handle yourself in a 'stressful' situation. Do not forget to smile once in a while and refer to your volunteer or previous work experience. Most of the questions will involve some ethical situation.
Lastly, try to leave a good impression on EVERYONE you come in contact with. You never know who is who but they know who you are since you have got a name badge.

Good luck.

Great advice from @Hambergo. I used these links for some MMI help.

MDProspect's MMI Interview strategy

Keep in mind, these tips include some Med School tips too, but its a good general guideline for MMIs.

how do you know that they will review in April? did you call and ask? I am also waitlisted. 🙁

 

[MickeyMouse45]

last interview is next week. So i assume they will start reviewing wait-listed applicants in april.
did you receive an email today asking if you want to be removed from waitlist?

 

[deleted606640]
