I hope we hear soon! The facebook group is growing I noticed..
**** The Official ECU Class of 2017 Interview/Acceptance Thread ****
- Thread starter ToothfairyNC
- Start date
I do not know if this is on anyone else's mind so I want to throw this out there:
This is my second time interviewing with ECU and here are the results.
1st time I was denied I met with the admissions director and was told to get my DAT score up, apply earlier, and have a committee letter.
I brought my AA to 19; applied in August, interviewed in Dec. Was denied in march of that year.
The 2nd time I was denied I met again with admissions and was told to do more community outreach and apply early.
I went to all NC MOM Clinics this year and applied early as well has had a great committee letter ( I did not waive my right to read).
I do not know if i will meet with admissions this year due to the fact I am hearing a lot of people being told the same things, to apply early; get that committee letter; and volunteer.
As I look at the entering class I can't help but wonder how many clinics these individuals have went to or their willingness to work in under served areas.
I am happy for those who were accepted but am confused on to what standards are others being held to.
Anyone who has been denied care to share if they had been told similar information?

the answers that they feed u are only generic and the size of the applicant pool is much more competitive after each year. or maybe u should apply broadly than just in state

FB group keeps growing. Anyone heard of them giving out acceptances recently or talked to someone there who gave some kind of timeline of when more are going out?

I hear ya. There are a few D1 and D2s in the group and the people who recently joined may have been accepted a while ago and just not joining. Either way, hearing something soon would be nice.

I haven't heard anything from the school since January. Has anyone heard from the school lately? It's getting late in the cycle!
Does anyone know of any non-traditional students (over 30) being accepted to ECU?? Seems as though they have very few if any non-trad students in any of their classes so far. Is it a waste of time to apply there if you are in the over 30 crowd??
Thanks

Yeah, seriously. This is really late in the cycle. At this point I'm just curious to see what they are doing, whether that turns into a rejection or not.

Just so you guys know, April 1st was when all schools get a list of students who have spots at multiple schools. Then today (the 5th) they can rescind their offers forcing those with multiple spots to choose where they want to go. These students have 15 days to respond to these updates. Last year, there was a lot of activity during this time of the year. If you'd like the source:

Im in the class of 2016, I'd say we have about 3-4 that are 30+. I think the average age of our class was 25-26. I'm 27 myself.
Great, thanks for the info!

I got a letter!! Months of silence and I got a letter today. It was postmarked for 4/30/13
I'm going to paste a part of it and i swear it is the ONLY part that would mean anything to others. I do not think this letter has any indications about what's going on with anyone else's applications but I honestly don't know what it means, so pls don't ask me.
Background information about me if you think it's important for message deciphering purposes only: They have known I was accepted to NYU since the week of Dec. 3rd and I did not inform them that I was accepted to UNC on 1/30/13. Since April 1st they have obviously known I'm planning on attending UNC (the report that shows deposits would definitely reveal that).
Part of the letter:
"We wanted to provide you with an update regarding the status of your
application at the East Carolina University School of Dental Medicine. ...
As our 2013 admissions cycle concludes, we do not
anticipate that you will be receiving an offer of admission from ECU, yet we
are delighted to know that you have received an offer of admission from the
New York University College of Dentistry...."
Good luck! I'm pulling for u guys!

Good question. & nope. Just checked both mobile and full sites. Both still say "Received/Under Review" for ECU.

i've heard that ecu's students still have not started seeing patients, even the first class who are about to b d3's. anyone a current student that can confirm or deny? im still applying here just wondering if that was true
Hmm havent heard that predent^^
I know this is an old, unactive thread but is there anyone else who has still not received a rejection? Im assuming thats the case for me I just find it odd I haven't received a letter. When I inquired about a month ago I was told the class was full but I'm "active" with the committee? Just wanted to check if anyone else was in this boat!
