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!
do you know if they send them in the morning or afternoon?
I received an email around 3:30 (Michigan time, so an hour ahead of Chicago).
Thank you!
I know me too. I think we should hear back in the next couple of hours, based off of what people have said. The wait is killing me!!
best of luck to you!
Accepted via e-mail and student portal about half an hour ago!
Yay!!!!
Accepted!!
Accepted via email today! Congratulations everyone!

New to this thread. Just got an interview invite yesterday, scheduled for the 27th of this month. Congrats to you guys accepted
Will be interviewing here on the 27th as well!
Everyone that got accepted yesterday, what day were your interviews?
Awesome see you there!
I got wait listed...
Scheduled interview for 3/14!
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?
anyone who interviewed earlier in the month get accepted?
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.
when is the last interview? waitlisted here since dec 1st.
i believe they will review waitlisted applicants in april.

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.

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