Yes, I noticed that as well. I also saw some from NYU. I am waiting patiently for one.

Yay! Congratulations! You will do great. I didn't see anyone else posting about UPenn interviews recently too. Is it in January?

Yep, 2nd week of January

Are you waiting for NYU or MWU?
 
Who is still waiting for more invites before Christmas!?

Waiting to hear from Maryland, Case, Michigan (not sure if they do post dec tho), MWU-IL, and Louisville.

Haven't heard from UNC but I'm assuming they're already done for OOS.

I'm waiting to hear back from 13 schools (3 in state + 10 out of state)... pretty much got the silent treatment from most places I applied to.

Ive gotten the silent treatment as well. I applied to 10 schools and not a peep.

I haven't heard from a majority of my schools also. Is this a good or bad sign?

Story of my life right now! lol I also didn't hear from 14 schools (3 in state + 11 out of state). @Keklel, are you from Texas!? lol . I am assuming it's a good thing! No news is good news lol 🙂

What schools are still open this week guys? I am trying to contact admissions, and I was wondering which schools are open!
 
Don't say that. You still have plenty of time. What are your stats/EC's, and which schools did you apply to?
2.99 sgpa, 3.17 ogpa. 18 DAT 24 RC 19 PAT so those aren't great.
Dental assistant for 3 years, president of dental club, volunteering, multiple jobs, research, overseas medical trips etc
I had a predecember interview at my state school and got rejected.
Just not looking great. Gonna have to take the DAT again this summer and continue taking grad classes ):
 
Yeah the GPA and DAT could use a little bit of work and you are on the right path with the classes and retaking the test! I still think you should wait it out and see what happens in the next few months. With the determination you have, it will end up working out at the end of the day.. Good luck!

Thank you. It's discouraging but this has been my dream since I was very young. I won't give up!

Hey there! My stats are literally just about identical to yours.
I've already had 1 post-dec interview and have 2 post-dec interviews coming up and If I can do it my friend YOU can do it. I recommend that you contact the schools either through email or phone call and inquire about your app status. This shows interest. If you have an academic update or something that would also benefit you to provide them with!!!
Never lose hope or give up my friend, you will become a dentist some day. Rooting for you!
