Thanks for starting this thread. I already paid my $75 to Columbia. However, my transcript has yet to be received by AADSAS. Should I have my 3rd science professor send his letter with my AADSAS number to [email protected] now?

I keep clicking on this and not realizing it's for predental lol
Good luck everyone!!
Anyone get the confirmation email about Columbia receiving the supplement payment yet?
I received mine three days after paying.
Good luck fam! For anyone stressing out later on in this thread, I didn't get an interview invite until February (was one of the last 2 interview groups) and I got accepted in March. Anything can happen!
When did you e-submit and may I ask yor stats and EC's?

+1 best food I had at any of my interviews bar none.
I esubmitted 7/31 so I was somewhat late compared to most SDNers. This may partly be a reason why I got late interviews. Also, my stats were not amazing so that could be another reason. 21AA/22PAT | 3.33 GPA | great extracurriculars, amazing research (published co-author in high end journal) + great shadowing/volunteering hours, "7" total LORs (5+cover letter and then 1 extra submitted electronically from a dentist I shadowed).
Does anyone know if the review applicants before they have everything complete? I won't have my 3rd science rec til september but everything else is complete. Am I just tossed to the side until they receive the last letteR?

Hi
Thanks for giving me that info. Based off a snapshot of my stats, do you think you could give me an idea if I would be invited for an interview?
DAT: AA-21 TS-22 GPA -3.89 Science GPA-3.89 Non-science GPA - 3.9
I have extracurriculars working in hospitals, medical clinics, 90 shadowing hours and running 2 school clubs.
Thanks a lot. It's all about using your stats to get a foot in the door. From then on it's probably up to your interpersonal skills.
I e-submitted on 6/6, paid the fee two days later, and my status was not changed to "under review" until 7/1. 🙂
Anyone able to pay the supplemental fee online? Giving me an error when I click pay by card
Wonder when interviews will start rolling here 🙂
Hopefully invites will start being sent out sometime this week. Last year, invites started on 8/24
I will lose my mind if I get an invite here.
AHH I KNOW. I saw that on last year's board and I'm jumping out of my skin waiting for tomorrow. Why can't it be tomorrow already?!?
You sure invites will be given starting tomorrow?

It's not a sure bet. I'm just hoping.
good luck to everyone next week! This is also one of the schools that I am most excited for!
I am also unable to pay the fee, has this been resolved for you?

Did your status on AADSAS go from under review to app complete?
Stats for people who got interviews? im assuming way above average?
Goodbye Columbia dreams... 🙂
Was your status under review or complete?
Was your status complete? Or under review?
lol relax. they just started
Did anyone get the confirmation email back from them yet confirming their date?

Under review, although the date for this status was before I had even taken my DAT and it still says under review instead of invited for interview so I feel like they don't update the AADSAS portal particularly frequently...
I have the same problem.
Has anyone paid online?
if u don't mind, when did you receive the application received email

When you got the email, did they give you a set of dates to choose from? Or did you have to call in to find out which days were being offered?
I had to email them my available friday dates starting September 9th
if you apply in the first couple of batches and don't get an interview invite (high stats i.e. DAT 23+) does that mean that you probably wont hear back from them? 🙁
