The countdown..

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
So I know most schools don't do scholarships but for those that do, will they let people know on Dec 2? I know usc does not do this since they don't use it for recruiting, but not sure about other schools...
like Glimmer said, it depends on the school. Some of the students at Columbia told me that Columbia won't let them know how much of a scholarship they get, if they get one, until they have sent in their deposits. Kind of a weird way to do things if you ask me, but I guess it works for them
 
My favorites sites SDN, AADSAS and GMAIL!!! I broke my foot and all I can do from my bed is SDN on my laptop 100+ times a day hehe so pardon me if i am over posting on all threads lol
 
For three years I've had these three patients that kept asking me over and over , so did you get accepted? At some point I told them I am not going to apply anymore because was annoying to tell them over and over, no I got rejected from NYU!! Its funny that these three patients are on my schedule to have their teeth clean on December 2!! Would really love to finally be able to tell them "YES I got accepted".....Cannot wait, crossing fingers
It's definitely a sign! Fingers crossed!! 😀

Taking "breaking a leg" too literally, huh? 😉
 
Who thinks we will find out via the portal on December 1st?!? My nerves are officially starting to get the best of me. This day needs to be here already! 🙂
 
Ah, I have Dec 2 set in my mind. If yall say Dec 1 is portal update day and it's not up, I will be so antsy for 24 hours after that.
 
I am checking on portal daily, although it's not december 2nd, to see if by "accident" portal is updated 😛
 
The AADSAS page says they're closed from Nov 27th-Dec 2nd 🙁 Does this mean the portal won't upload on the 1st if they're closed! I noticed in last year's thread a lot of their portals updated on Dec 1st with an acceptance/rejection.
 
Does anyone know if there is a way to sign up for email updates when there are any changes in the "school decision" tab? I don't mind checking here and there, but I'd much prefer to just get an email if a status is changed.

where do you see that message? When I go to my AADSAS, I don't see any messages.

It's on the login page. Before you sign in it says that. It's in red letters inside a black outlined box.

Relax, lol we will find out December 2... last year AADSAS ( MOBILE APP) had a technical problem for like a few hours which allowed some applicants to see their status, i don't think we will be that lucky this year!!! lol
December 2nd is only 9 days away... yes 🙂

Nice catch! The portals SHOULD update on Dec. 2!!! Would they torture us pre-dents like that? Haha. But that notice might throw off the midnight changes...

Don't see anything on the AADSAS page. Not even RSS feed.
 
I think that when it says "Check back on Dec. 2nd", the decision is already in the system and will just be unveiled on Dec. 2nd, no matter if they update the system or not, no?
 
Doesnt it say their office will be closed, not the portal?
 
A week and a day left! I'm so excited for you guys!
When you get multiple acceptances, make sure you sit down for a day or two, figure out what you want in life, how much your lifestyle is going to cost, and then pull out your calculator and figure out how much you're gonna have to pay for dental school before you get to live said lifestyle. Start calculating now!

P.S. last year, our Dec 1st was on a weekend like you guys so we wouldn't have found out the results till Dec 2nd/3rd. But there was a glitch and the AADSAS mobile app gave results before the website did. They fixed it after a few hours but maybe it will work again! I was half awake on my bed on Dec 1st when I randomnly checked my AADSAS app, totally not expecting results, when BAM! "Offer Made, Accepted".

I was thinking the exact same thing. I bet schools have already decided on all of us, but are just releasing/notifying on Dec 2. -_-
 
I'm done with class this week on Tuesday, I'm going to go crazy without school to distract me. I'm hoping the holiday will seem like a blur and it can hurry up and be next Monday!

We have a week off for thanksgiving and I'm already going crazy
 
Decided to look through some of the other school threads and I'm so jealous of those who applied to UMMC, I guess they aren't contracted by ADEA bc they have already started sending out acceptances.. ughhhhh. Happy for those accepted but stilllllllll....

I second this. If you look at prior posts, you will see that some people got their portal changed or got emails at like 5AM in the morning. Schools have it ready on Nov29th.
 
I'm getting nothing done for school right now............. One week and I'll know if I need to study for my FINAL (kidding).....But seriously
I can't study for finals cause I'm so anxious for Dec 2nd!

Same here. I really would like to hear from more schools as well. I am on the low end, in terms of number of interviews received.
 
My daily routine has remained largely unchanged, except that I now check the AADSAS portal with my morning web rounds, and have been frequenting the post office to pick up my snail mail daily. At this point I'd take a rejection from some of the 13 or 14 schools I haven't heard a peep from, just to know where I stand.
 
It is especially worse when it's your mother asking everyday if there is news, as if I haven't said "December 2 is the earliest" 6 million times already. *bangs head on wall*
I can relate. I hear it at least once every week. "Did you hear back yet?" "MOM. DEC 2nd is the EARLIEST!"
 
Any of you guys who applied, heard from MOSDOH? It seems like it is going to be difficult to get into simply because class size is 42. Or have they increased it to 60?
 
on the AADSAS front page it says that their office will be closed from Nov 27 to Dec 2, for thanksgiving. I think that means there will be no premature updates as there were last year.
 
Are we expecting a midnight update? Like 12am Dec 2?

I doubt it; AADSAS site does say it will be down until Dec. 2 when they 'resume normal work hours at 9am'...so I'm guessing it'll likely be from that morning onwards.

It just says the offices will be closed. So it doesn't really exclude the possibility of status updates at midnight, or on Dec. 1st?
 
Well, it is a website so it can totally update itself at midnight without anyone having to be in the office, HOWEVER I've noticed that AADSAS status updates (e.g Under Review -> Invited for Interview) don't occur at midnight but early in the morning.

I suppose you're right. Either way, I just want to know now. >.<
