Rejection for 2005 list

Members don't see this ad.

I have a 19 in QR but 21+ in all other subjects.

Are you insinuating that you got an interview to UOP with that 19? Some people have gotten interviews with sub 20's huh? Well, I hope I get one. I really am excited to go visit UOP since a couple of my friends told me how much they liked it!

 

[quakinator]

Yikies. after reading these posts, i have decided that 1. the schools "accidentaly" put my application in the shredder, or 2. my rejection letters have gotten lost in the mail (what with state of snail mail nowadays, I'm not surprised). I feel this tremendous desire to curl up in a corner and cry (well, either that or threaten the schools with letter bombs if they don't accept me. 🙁

Don't stress too much buddy, UOP is one of the most competitive schools in the country. Just because you haven't heard from a school doesn't mean they have run over your application with an M1 Abrahams tank. In fact, if you haven't heard from a school it probably means you have a shot since many have already sent out denials to those that have no shot at their school. Keep ya head up!

🙁 Truly sorry for you dude! I have been there was my state school last year! Rejections make you feel like crap, but just remember that you are more than you dental application. Although, I know how hard that is to do, versus say at this point in the game.

I am wishing you luck for all your other schools!

 

[GatorDentist]

arizona yesterday...no interview.

 

[crazy_sherm]

I got the same msg.

21AA
21PAT
25 OC
18 Bio*
19 QR*

I've heard that they are looking for 20+ across the board but if anyone has had an interview with a -20 in any category, let us know.

I have a 19 PAT but they still interviewed me.

Did you interview at UF? I'm sorry to hear about that. I'm sure you'll get in somewhere.

 

[billiken10]

It's Nov. 29th and I am pretty positive that I'm not going to be accepted for the second year in a row. I have this sense of impending doom already... I really hate it because I start thinking about my prospects for the next year and Dec. 1st 2005 seems really far away...

Do you mind sharing your stats with us. I am sure you will get in somewhere if they are in the averages.

Good Luck

Did you get an interview at OSU before the rejection? - and what was your stats?

What do you think this rejection was based on?

 

[cool fillings]

I called UOP today because my app is in re-review (but since they're sending out a bunch of admits Dec. 1st, I feel like I might as well have been rejected). All the lady said was that "it's been very competitive" "we've received lots of applications" "about 1800 applied, 900 were competitive, and we only interview around 180." I just wish she could've commented on my application in particular...my GPA is good (much better than their avg. from last year), I had an 18 in Bio and a 19 PAT, but other than those all the rest above 20 (plus a 25 on reading...shouldn't I be able to use that to balance the bio?...and, I'm a bio major with all A's and one B+ in all of my bio courses, surely I know some bio). Sorry just needed to vent about the randomness, since I hadn't anticipated having trouble with UOP. It's comforting to see that others are finding the UOP interview invites a little random, still disturbing, but at least I don't feel singled out. Seems like Penn was a similar situation. I'm glad I decided to apply to Columbia instead of Penn at the last second.

We prob talked to the same person. I know how you feel. I felt insulted.

Thin envelope from Arizona today.

Had you already interviewed or was it just a rejection after sending in the secondary? Anyone know that applied to AZ?

 

[eric275]

I had not been invited for an interview at Arizona. I had sent in my secondary ~8 weeks prior to recieving the rejection letter.

If you don't mind me asking, what are you stats. I am applying there and I just send my secondary in. I am hoping not to get denied this year too.

Also, I'm from Iowa...and Iowa City is a cool town...plus its close to Chicago.

You will be fine dude, your Sci GPA is the only thing under the borderline, your DAT is solid.

Stand-by for couple of acceptance letters. 👍

God I hope so. Everyone who utilizes this site obviously has the drive to make it as a dentist. Hopefully we can all celebrate together! Good luck to everyone and try and get some sleep! I know I won't...

Try to keep positive! Your grad GPA is great! I wonder if they didn't bother to factor that in????

Sorry to hear that man. I too, still waiting to hear from Nova - I hope other schools give you the chance you are looking for.

Hang in there.

P.S. Sounds like rejection letters are rolling in, in packs! :angry:

 

[fruity_trident]

hey guys!
i know rejections suck!! i'm sorry to read about yours...but u WILL get it, if you REALLY want to be a dentist...and i'm sure u do 👍

i mean...there's nothing we can really do (for now) to change that rejection..that's something to look into if/when applying the next yr.

don't dwell on it...u have plenty of acceptances to look forward to.

i know it's easier said than done! don't be so hard on yourselves...i am notorious for that...and i guess i'm just reiterating what my friends tell me..

this is how i think of it (though, i don't know if it'll help others - i hope it doesn't make ppl feel worse 🙁 ): if i'm so damn stressed about stuff now - how would i get through d-school (if i get in...). i mean we've been through a lot of $h!t (not only d-school apps) but we get through it...and i really don't think life gets easier...but we'll learn to adjust/adapt.

doesn't everyone feel like this --> 😴, after my schpeil?

anyways...gdluck to all. i know we'll all get in..it's just a matter of time 😳 👍

You make an excellent point and I'm sure that I am overreacting since I haven't yet heard from all the schools, I guess I'm just really frustrated at the prospect of another year of uncertainty.

Like all of you, I passionately want to become a dentist and I truly feel that I have the qualities that will make me a very good dentist. I'm just waiting for the school that will give me the opportunity to prove it...

I shouldn't post about rejections. We should be celebrating all the wonderful new students who have been accepted. I'm very pleased to be in the company of people who take their futures and dental school so seriously and with such enthusiasm. Congrats to everyone who heard good news this week! 😀

Hey billiken - I'm just wondering why you didn't apply to more schools, especially this being your second round.

 

[billiken10]

Hey billiken - I'm just wondering why you didn't apply to more schools, especially this being your second round.

My experience the first time told me that I had ZERO chance at any state school, so I picked the schools I thought I had the best shot at and then tried to save money. I got denied by 11 schools last year. Most pretty quickly. I guess I could have looked into more private schools nationwide, but ce la vie...

EDIT: I'm just being dramatic. This is only a small bump in the road. It really is. I was overreacting to the news. I tend to get down on myself when I'm this stressed. That's all. I'll live. 😉

Hey Biliken! Don't give up buddy! Never give up! I know, boy do I, how you feel. Please, please, believe in yourself and don't ever give up on your dreams.

Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you at all. You do have solid stats and great DAT scores... I'm sure you'll hear from the rest of the schools soon. Don't give up hope. This is also my second round.... so I can understand your pain.
