You are not alone- I also completed my app the first week of sept. I havent received any interviews yet. I personally dont think your citation is a big deal, but better not mention it to d-schools to be on the safe side

I have one ticket for urinating in public, its not a public misdeamenor but a disorderly conduct. paid $35 and case is closed. never had to go to a court.

You submitted your application very late in the cycle. Thus, it is normal to not hear anything from dental schools in October. Be patient! You might hear back within Nov. 2011 till March 2012.

There's your problem. You're a late applicant and you're behind huge stacks that haven't been reviewed yet. Don't expect any emails in October.
 
LOL a ticket for urinating in public? did you have to report that on your aadsas?
 
You had a chance until you pissed in public lol. Now the Adcom will think you may piss in the hall, on the school building, on a pile of exams, etc. LOL.

On a serious note, you're an international student with low 2.8 GPA. 2.8 is very difficult for U.S. students to overcome and nearly impossible for an int'l applicant. I think your best bet is to attend dental school in Australia.

Good luck mate!

P.S. please don't urinate on any of that money you handle in the bank. It may wind up thru circulation in my pocket someday!

I think you are being little immature here. I m sure most of us male students have peed in public in our lives. I happen to be the unlucky one. I m not an international student and don't worry I even used a hand sanitizer after peeing in public. It wasn't like I was drunk or anything.

Unfortunately yes. Do u think I m doomed ?

I don't think it matters that much. I recommend getting a background check report first and see if this appears there. Since you are working in the bank then you should be fine.

Have you done any ECs? sGPA?

It's no longer a public misdemeanor. It does not even come upon the records. It's just a disorderly conduct. I spoke to few schools and they said it's not a big deal.

If it doesn't show on your criminal/public record, then why did you even mention it? That's pretty dumb lol.

It's like mentioning on your app that you masturbate 5x's a day. No need to freely offer negative/rejection information unless you absolutely have to.

Your late app is hurting you... but what is your current cGPA and sGPA?

If it is still sub 3.0, then that is what is really killing your app. You need to definately be doing some post bac work right now to bring up that GPA.

Also... even though your degree from Australia is equivalent... i wonder if it is still a red flag on your application?

Aadsas did not include my gpa from Australia. They calculated the gps from states. And the pcb gpa is 3.5
