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.

Are you a Texas resident?

 

[deleted952495]

Are you a Texas resident?

Yes, I am IS.

 

[Zexal2000]

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.

Wait so you got rejected without an interview ?

 

[Zexal2000]

Yeah

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.
