Hey, congratulations to everyone and their well-deserved acceptances!!
I do have a small favor to ask which really would help immensely for those who are waitlisted.
I myself am waitlisted at UConn, and needless to say, there are many other deserving folks in this tough situation at other schools.
I just wanted to toss a friendly reminder to SDN, to please kindly submit updates to the schools, which you may have offers or interviews from, and are 100% sure you are not attending, of your decision, as soon as possible.
What that will directly do, is allow those on the agonizing wait-lists at various schools to be re-considered immediately in most cases. Even before the 30/45 day deposits are placed.
As we ALL know so well, waiting even half a second to hear from schools is not pleasant. It drastically effects one's psyche and body, and of those around them for the worst.
I implore to you, future colleagues, after celebrating your achievements and the fireworks have settled, please think about the rest of us, and most kindly, and as soon as time permits, notify the dental schools that you are sure you will not attend about your decision.
Oh, to make it clear this post isn't about PUSHING anyone to "hurry up with their choice" AT ALL. Take as long as you need to make the best decision. This post is just to remind us (in our busy lives) on SDN that this can help those who are wait-listed.
In light of that, I think everyone would appreciate if its kept out of any irrelevant flame-wars. Please, take those privately, and if this post annoys you..just ignore it.
The bottom line is, this thread existing (for this year, too) is better than nothing for us wait-listers.
I'm just going to bump this thread occasionally if it seems to be drowning. Be happy!!!
Thanks, and the best regards,
