According to my interview yesterday they normally have around 3100 applicants, they interview anywhere from 400-450, and accept 120. Just a little stats for those of you who didn't already know.
i got my "we received all of your stuff. just wait until we're done looking at it" e-mail about 2 weeks ago.
for those of you who got invited to interviews, what was the wait time from when you received that e-mail to when you received the interview e-mail?
thanks in advance

Hey! Did your status ever change from receive/ complete? I got the app complete email like August 15.I received the invite on 9-25 I just didn't look at this forum until a few days ago. I am an Indiana oos student.
Don't schools usually accept a lot more than what their seats hold due to them knowing on average how many people will decline their acceptances? For example, if their seats hold 120 students they would accept 200 or some similar number?According to my interview yesterday they normally have around 3100 applicants, they interview anywhere from 400-450, and accept 120.

My app started at received/waiting additional information and changed to received/under review a long time ago. Never went to received/complete.Hey! Did your status ever change from receive/ complete? I got the app complete email like August 15.

I would imagine not.Have they concluded their interview process?
My friend got an interview for Feb last year. She got the invitation on decemberHave they concluded their interview process?
I cannot remember off the top of my head but it is very high. I think higher than 60%. Also some of the in state are given to students in their USTEP? I think that is what it is called. program where you apply as a senior in highschool and as long as you keep you GPA up you are guaranteed a spot .Does any body know what is out of state acceptance rate?
Great thanksI cannot remember off the top of my head but it is very high. I think higher than 60%. Also some of the in state are given to students in their USTEP?

Both UK and Louisville only interview approximately 100 in state students. I would imagine that most of these students actually interview at both schools. Assuming that is correct, if you get an interview to both schools as an in-state student, you are all but guaranteed to get into one of them.
Would everyone agree with this? I'm just trying to get hyped for Dec.1 and not super anxious.
Anyone know when Louisville stops sending out Pre-dec interviews? I'm 6th batch, got app-complete email on August 18.
I interviewed at both UK and Louisville last year and didn't get in to either.
21AA, 3.55 oGPA
Also interviewed at UAB and MUSC last year.
Were you an in-state student?

Nevermind, I just looked back and saw that you were a KY resident. That is very unfortunate that you didn't get in last year after interviewing at both but based on the statistics posted by Doc Toothache, I still argue that your situation was very rare. Especially with your stats.
Do you know why you didn't get in?
I spoke to each school after getting rejected and there were a few things each school mentioned held me back. I really wasn't prepared; I had I think only 36 shadowing hours for my first application, my volunteering was really weak at around 70 hours. My first UK interview didn't go great and I was really nervous but from other schools I was told
"Your interview could have been much better – not bad, but not solid/strong"
and
"Both Dr. ****** and Dr. ******* had good things to say about you. You had limited shadowing and volunteering at the time of your interview. Your passion to be a dentist wasn’t as apparent as other candidates who interviewed with us this past year."
I think my lack of exposure directly reflected in the interview which kept me out.
It's been a good talking point this year at interviews though because it really made me step back and realize how competitive getting in is and I've been able to work on each aspect of my application as a result - shadowing now nearly 500 hours, a research publication and two presentations, increased volunteer work and I'm taking post-bacc classes while doing a new research project.
Did you interview at U of L or should everyone applied get this email too?Yes. Said they will email at 6:15 am.
