I haven't received any decisions yet. Not sure if I should be anticipating an interview still in Feb/March or should I prep to reapply.

A few weeks ago I think, it was like 10 mins on zoom. I think all acceptances were sent on 21st because deposit and immunizations and extra health checks are due soon. School starts in May.

Okay, the deadline to apply to the post-bacc is in April. I interviewed a couple weeks ago as well. Do you think I should reach out to them or should I just assume I didn't get accepted? Or just wait?

Did anyone get the "Are you interested" email yet? I am really nervous it hasnt gone out yet. In previous years they had it in January or February.

I see that someone in the forum got accepted on the 24th. Maybe as people decline the offer they are offering the post back to others.

It was super quick. I started a few minutes early and ended early. Some questions were common like: why dentistry, name some pros and cons, what is something people assume about you that is not true, why should we choose you, why are you applying for this program, and anything else you want us to know? Just practice with a list of questions with another individual. Answer with purpose, get to a clear point, put details about you when appropriate. It just takes practice.

For those accepted, has anyone else been having issues uploading our immunizations???

The first or second step? Not all of our required immunizations can be found in the dropdown list, I would just upload the document and they know what's needed from us and will then update it.

I go to login to the portal and it just takes me to a screen that says welcome. Tried calling and they said try again later.
 
Has anyone here who's on waitlist for dental school (not postbacc) heard anything or gotten acceptance?
 
Hi Guys,
Did anyone hear anything from Temple? Has there been any movement in admissions? It has been 6 weeks since any news from them.
 
Hey guys! has anyone got accepted here in march or February? Has been super quiet

I’m also still waiting. I interviewed pre-December and have since been on the waitlist. The last I heard from them was 3/5/25 when they sent out the “still interested” email. I’m really hoping they do another wave of acceptances soon

Weird because Temple has a relatively large class size but I’ve seen nothing about waitlist movement on sdn or reddit
Click to expand...
Yeah!

I thought after the are you interested email there will be some kind of movement in "bulk" but it doesn't seem so unless someone else has other info...

Does anyone know how many or approx how many people are in the class so far?
 
Has anyone gotten emails back from admissions at all? I email them questions and it seems like they never get back to me.

Still waiting also! Hope we will get answers soon

Same. I was looking at the past few years and Temple usually has a lot of movement in the spring. Not sure why they've been so quiet recently. I hope the class isn't full yet. Anyone else hear anything?
