No, from what I know they send invites in September/October. They said in email: Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine will not send updates until late August - early September for the 2024 cycle.

Did anyone else's status change from Invited to Interview to Received/Under Review after their interview?
 
Does SIU send out all 50 acceptances on Friday or do they split it up into sections? Has anyone asked!
 
Looks like SIU updated the status to "check back on december 15" , congrats if you received it!

If it says “check back on December 15” does that mean you got accepted? And if it says “received/application complete” does that mean you didn’t get accepted?

it seems indicative of dec 15 acceptance, not getting it doesn't mean you wont get accepted later on

So if we didn't get the status change does that for sure mean we won't get an acceptance tomorrow? Just curious

They'll be emailing tonight, from past years-- no, most likely not. Its not over though!
 
Did anyone who interview not hear anything back? I interviewed in September and didn’t receive a waitlist email or a rejection email so I’m a little confused.

Same with me. Anyone know when we might hear something? Wondering if it will be after January 15 when accepted people have 30 days to say if they are going or not

Mid January according to Angela so the week of Jan 15
 
Congrats to those accepted for those who haven’t heard back are we considered waitlisted?

I would say you are definitely still in the running to be accepted. Last year I knew people who were waitlisted on acceptance day and eventually accepted AFTER people who didn’t hear anything back at first. I believe they send acceptances in waves, so unless you receive an email saying you are waitlisted or rejected, you should still be in the running!
 
Hello I have an interview coming up for SIU. Can anyone tell me facts about SIU that would probably blow the interviewer's mind if I mentioned them?

I'm just looking for unique facts to mention about it so it looks like I've done my research, which I have but I just haven't been able to find anything.

It’s all on their website. Dig through all the tabs. Good luck.
 
I interviewed for SIUE in January and was told during the interview that I would not have a final decision until after campus visits that are taking place in March. Has anyone else had a similar experience?? I also got an email from Angela saying thank you for interviewing and that, "The admission committee has your file under final consideration for acceptance. We make decisions on a rolling basis until May 2024." Just wondering if anyone can relate to this and wondering what my chances are of acceptance at this point.
