Question....

Hey Arby,

I'm in the same boat. I'm still waiting to hear from some schools as well. I talked to a friend of mine who works as an admissions officer for a medical school about this. I think that, in general, dental schools will do one of three things after looking at your AADSAS complete application:

1) choose to invite you for interview
2) deny you an interview (probably based on you not meeting the academic minimum requirements)

or
3) put your application off to the side.

This is probably what's happened to you and me....and everyone else who submitted real early on AADSAS and is still waiting to hear from schools. Adcoms will put borderline applicants to the side and will most likely revisit them later on in the app cycle. It's difficult for adcoms to anticipate the caliber of applicants they will receive. So, depending on the type of applicants they receive later on in the cylec and depending also on how manty seats are left once their first round of acceptance letters are submitted, adcoms will reconsider applicants that they didn't think warrant an interview earlier in the cycle. I think this is how it works.

.....at least I HOPE this is how it works. That way, I still have some hope for some more interviews.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think Marquette interviews at all. I believe the first contact we get from them is when we are accepted. Well, actually they send a secondary, but you know what I mean.

 

marquette interviews wisconsin residents only.
