Can i ask what your stats were and when you applied? Have you visited and been around ECU's dental school for some facetime before?

For those that have already interviewed, could someone give us some insight into the type of interview it is and some tips to prepare?

How common are their post-december interviews? also does anyone know about their demographics - if you are from a big city or went to a popular school do you have less chance?

I'm not going to be too helpful; I know they do have post-december interviews and I think only about half the class is "filled" before those post-december interviews. I dont think it hurts if you're from a big city necessarily, I just think it helps a lot if you're from Greenville/have experience working or volunteering in smaller/rural cities! That's just what I've gathered

I personally think that they look for applicants that are from smaller towns, because they are more likely to serve underserved areas.
 
Has anyone received an email on the eve of acceptances given out, regarding waitlist or still interested? Thanks!

Weird that I got mine a little earlier than the others because I was under the impression that they sent them out at the same time, I guess they don't! Congrats to all that got in and ya'll PM me if you're going to accept the offer, because I definitely am and I'm all about meeting my future classmates 🙂
 
Does anyone know what the timetable is for people who didn't hear back today? Like, ECU didn't accept their whole class today, did they?

I was about to ask the same thing. Congrats to everyone who got in today!! For the rest of us, are there certain days people hear back or is it totally random until the end of Spring?

The past few years it has been kind of random and there really isn't a time table. Last year I found out I didn't get in by phone call from Dr. Wilson in late February or early March.

Yes it kind of depends. I was waitlisted and ultimately denied last cycle. I got an email in late February telling me I was waitlisted, and then didn't get the denial email until July/August. But they will accept more people after today because a lot of spots will open up when some accepted today go to other schools! But I don't think it'll be until January when that starts to happen

I hope you get in this go-around!

To all of you who are still waiting, KEEP IT UP. I got in today on my third application, I have relatively low stats (20 AA, 3.1 undergraduate GPA). Many of you will get in this cycle but if not never give up. I got feedback from their staff last spring, went into the masters of physiology program at NCSU and got a 4.0 over the summer and then accepted in December. If you're truly dedicated to serving NC and show that through volunteer work, etc, the admissions committee will distinguish you with enough perseverance.

And I know from past years that a ton of people get in late December through all of January and early February. Ya'll got this.
