I sent them my secondary application + fee (delivered June 11th) and submitted my AADSAS on June 16th midnight, but still haven't received any updates.

Has anyone received updates on their application from SIUE yet? (i.e. AADSAS received, Application complete, etc.)

Sorry if I'm antsy. SIUE is my no.1 choice for dental school so I'm pretty nervous.

Edit: Received an email back, they will send out confirmations on Friday and/or Monday

I applied last year. Submitted my app mid June, got email confirmations from Angela 6/25 stating that they got my application and that they are not going to even start reviewing apps until August. I was invited to interview 8/21 (the first round of interviews). My guess is that they might even wait until later in the cycle for interviews because they are still trying to figure out what to do with their current students during COVID, I wouldn't expect to hear a peep until Fall :(

It sucks, but its a longggggggg journey and you're only at the very beginning. I devoured the previous years forums and interview tips while I waited to hear back. I hope you can find something to kill time. Best of luck to you and let me know if you have any questions (I start D1 there next month).

What does it mean when you application changes to “Received /Application complete?”
 
Has anyone completed the writing assignment? If so, how was it?

Hello! Did anyone's status change on their AADSAS portal for SIU? Or is it still "received/ Application complete" since you interviewed?

Okay, yes mine did that too and now it is still on "received/application complete". I just wanted to double-check and confirm with someone on here too that you guys have the same. So, thank you!
 
Congrats to people who got accepted! Anybody else got the acceptance?

To whoever already made the deposit, could you please let me know where to send the transcripts to? I didn't see a designated address for that on the matriculation check list. Thank you.

Hello, has anyone heard from the admissions committee if you were not accepted on dec 15? Do they have any spots open? Is there still a chance to get in this cycle? Thanks in advance!
 
Yeah there is a chance so they have only accepted half of their class on the 15th

I called and they said they will meet to discuss next round in late January or Early February.
Decisions will probably go out mid Feb like Mrpva said

Does anyone know if they’re done with interviews?

I've checked past years and I don't see anyone claiming that they accepted in mid February. Has anyone whose spoken to admissions or talked with previous students verified that there is a second round or is admissions just filling a few remaining spots that need to be filled between February and April and the vast majority of the class has already been accepted?

I talked with one of the professors on admissions. There were apparently some interviews last week, but the professor is "not sure if there will be anymore". Sorry, that is not too helpful, but it sounds like they may be winding down.
 
Received an acceptance this morning...

Paid both deposits to NYU and about to sign a lease on a condo in NY.

Lol... fml

No way. Are you going to stick with NYU? Good thing you haven't signed the lease yet
