wow im surprised you didn't get off the waitlist. When did you interview?I got waitlisted but never accepted. I don't think Indiana rejects anyone they interview everyone goes on the waitlist.

wow im surprised you didn't get off the waitlist. When did you interview?
November 11th and my DAT wasn't that great so I wasn't all that surprised.
They will definitely accept you this time with interviewing you the second time!
haha thanks I actually thought my interview went pretty will last time so im hopeful for this cycle
I have heard a story from this guy that is in IUSD. He told me that he interviewed first cycle and didn't get in, and the second cycle turned out well. He was in-state. Anymore interviews?
Already retaking it at my 90 day mark.I had very similar stats to you last cycle and got a interview with Indiana it was my only one. I highly recommend retaking the DAT.
I'm very passionate about dentistry and it shows that in my personal statement and I have a LOT of leadership and experience. I have about 8k hours of work, volunteering, and shadowing. A lot of that comes from being very involved with things for about 10 years. I also know my professors wrote very good letters for me. Again, they look at the application holistically, so I'm staying optimistic. Especially when I retake my DAT.what is your secret?
Do you think I might have a slightly better chance since I'm interviewing in their 2nd round of interviews?November 11th and my DAT wasn't that great so I wasn't all that surprised.
Do you think I might have a slightly better chance since I'm interviewing in their 2nd round of interviews?
I got the webinar via email! and I also got an interview today.
Any tips for the interview day? Also any thoughts about the writing practice portion of the interview day will be helpful. Good Luck everyone!
Interview #1: Indiana
Residency: MI
App complete: Aug 8
Method: Email
sgpa/cgpa: 3.4/3.52
AA/TS/RC/PAT/Under 17: 17/17/18/18/ Yes, GC: 16
Thoughts since I have a really good application and if I do well on the interview, what are my chances?
Its in a couple weeks! The 18th.you might but tbh I don't think it really matters when you interview since IU only interviews a certain amount and doesn't do post december interviews also I know a few people that interviewed with me that got accepted. When's your interview?
They didDoes anyone know if they have sent out their second wave of interview invites yet?
Thank you for the advice!!! Im having such difficult time figuring out what to wear for the interview. but thinking about the interview itself is killing me from all the stress and anxiety.I felt that the interview day was pretty relaxed. I had my interview in the morning and then we had presentations and the writing portion in the afternoon. The writing portion was not a big deal! I think they are mostly looking at your ability to think through a question and that your writing style matches up with what you wrote in your personal statement (AKA making sure you wrote it yourself).
Any additional tips would be to wear comfortable shoes (break them in beforehand) and just try to be yourself (cliché, I know). Know your personal statement and why you want to attend IUSD over other schools!
Good luck!!
they did! I was actually in the second wave. they said the third wave(last one) will be on October 15th.Does anyone know if they have sent out their second wave of interview invites yet?
I got waitlisted but never accepted. I don't think Indiana rejects anyone they interview everyone goes on the waitlist.

Can you let us know how it goes? Mine is on the 19th a little nervous because this is my top choiceI'm interviewing tomorrow (September 18th) too! My interview is in the morning
It's awesome! it was hard to choose between IU and Roseman but I think Roseman was a much better fit for me.Thank you! How's Roseman?

Does application complete = rejection at this point?
The interview went very well nothing to be nervous about!
I would say just review your application, and be prepared to talk about anything you have written about. They may ask you to talk about something, then they may ask follow up questions based on your answer. The best advice I can give is be confident in yourself! You know why you're here, you know what you have written, you know who you are. Just be prepared to back it up and tie key components together. They want to know who you are as a person, that's all. They do not have access to GPAs or DAT scores because they want to know your story.
It may also benefit you to keep in mind the four pillars of medical ethics. If they ask an ethics question, you are free to introduce hypothetical scenarios or personal experiences to support an arguement to the given question.
Also, just take a breath and a few moments to think about the question before you answer it! This will benefit you for both the interview and the writing prompt (10 minute prompt, absolutely nothing to sweat about). Make sure you understand what is being asked so that you can answer it fully and not go on a tangent.
The faculty and students are very approachable and welcoming. They are here to help you get in to dental school.
This interview should be the most laid back and comfortable! Good luck and let us know how it goes
thanks for the feedback, what kind of questions did they ask you?So I had my interview today! It certainly was laid back and chill and I had an overall better experience than my first interview at another school! I was asked three questions and it was more conversational. When I left the room, an applicant asked how the questions were and I honestly forgot I was even asked anything lol. I just felt like I was having a conversation with a stranger tbh but I did notice my voice was shaky during the first few minutes because I was so nervous but I managed to calm myself down. Confidence is key for these interviews!
I feel really connected to this school and I'm hoping everything works out for the best!
