Interviewing next week on Oct. 29th! Beyond excited! If anyone else is interviewing on this date, let me know!
I'll be interviewing as well on the 29th!Interviewing next week on Oct. 29th! Beyond excited! If anyone else is interviewing on this date, let me know!
@CleverThought Do you know how Iowa will inform us on December 1? Email? Call? Also, from your experience are they pretty quick to notify us on December 1? I seriously can't wait. I'm tripping.
My AADSAS updated to "Please check back on December 1 for more information regarding your decision status with this school" from "Invited for Interview" this morning. I'm so anxious for December 1st to get here!
Let's hope history repeats itself then! I'm rooting for you, sharky!
Long time stalker of these pages and they have been really helpful! Iowa is my number one and axiously awaiting a status update! Do you guys know if they only do one update for the "check back"? or will they progressively go through files in the next week. @CleverThought any info on the subject! Thanks!
From your username, I'm guessing your OOS? I am too and I interviewed in October. When did you interview?
I would also be interested in hearing if they do status changes all at once, or if they go in order of when people applied. Any other in-staters with "invited for interview" status still?
Also - we are looking at the AADSAS portal and not Iowa's ISIS, correct?
I interviewed October 9th

I don't have a status change yet. I'm OOS and interviewed 10/17.
So weird seeing SDN people in real life. I'm obsessed with this school. Top choice here!We had the same interview haha
No status change either (also OOS)
I got a status change too! I'm in state as well. I interviewed on 10/17.
Did anyones status update today?
Not mine, I'm still "invited for interview". Does this mean I didn't get in? I was pretty confident before this past week, but now i don't know what to think..
Hey I'm a D1 at Iowa. Just wanted to clear something up - if you don't have the status change something to the effect of "check back on Dec 1st", it does not mean that you will not be accepted. It just means you likely won't hear anything tomorrow. Only about 1/3 of the class will be filled tomorrow. Other acceptances will come in the following weeks. So it just means more waiting time, but definitely isn't anything to read into, as there will still be some 50+ offers to be made after tomorrow.Not mine, I'm still "invited for interview".

It's a personal preference, to be honest. I always tried to put myself in Elaine's shoes- what would I want to see/hear from a candidate? At this point, as early in the game as it is, I think I'd wait it out. I was there last year so I know that is much easier said than done, but here's the deal: if you want to become a dentist, it will happen. Try to remember that. Most likely, many of you will hear good news soon. But even if you don't, I guarantee you that if you keep working hard and try to better yourself every single day, you will one day enter dental school way ahead of your classmates. It may have taken some of my classmates a year or two longer, but some of them have used that time to get so far ahead of those of us who entered straight out of undergrad.Is there anything I could be doing in the meantime to better my chances? I hate just waiting, especially because this school is my top choice. I also don't want to annoy them by constantly asking about my admissions status haha
I'm pretty sure at the interview they said something along the lines of 1/3 of the class getting accepted Dec. 1 and then the rest (especially in-state) will hear more mid-December. So hopefully there are still quite a few seats left!
