Rejected today I submitted 7/3/2021. Honestly, I am kind of shocked I was not aware Texas schools reject applicants this early in the cycle.
 
Rejected today

-GPA: 3.91
-DAT: 23 AA 21 PAT 21 TS (nothing below 17)

-Two leadership position, research experience and 200+ volunteer and shadowing hours

- Computer Science and Biochemistry Double major
-Second time applying and had an interview with them last time

When someone asks me about hypocrisy. I just tell them I am witnessing on a daily basis. At least some people have the dignity to tell me I got rejected early rather than waiting till you run out of options on what other careers to pursue. My advice is either get lucky or get connections or fake it till you make it or find a different career.

Bro, I genuinely feel bad about you, I remember you being so frustrated last year where you didn't get in with that stats. I also do sometimes feel like to get into dental school luck plays important factor than STATS AND HARDWORK, which shouldn't be the case.

Last year has taught me to be patient. If in the hereafter there is no justice, then our lives will be worthless. Let it be known, if they oppressed me, that I will hold all of the dental schools admissions accountable on the day of Judgement. I put my faith in Allah and that’s it. No more arguing with them.
 
For people who got interviewed, how was it? what type of questions were asked and did you have to wear a mask while interviewing?

If we didn't hear back yesterday, do we assume that it is a waitlist/rejection? Didn't receive any emails so I was just wondering if anyone had any updates? Thanks!

They just sent an update email out today. Seems like if you heard nothing, there’s still hope.
 
did everyone get that email? has anyone received a rejection yet?
 
So is the first deposit date for Hunt 2 weeks from decision day? Should we expect to hear back after that?

Just got an interview invite today
 
Does anyone know the last day they will send out interview invites in this circle? Thank you so much.
 
Will be turning down my spot, one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make. Good luck to everyone still waiting!
