congratulations on getting the interview. if you dont mind can you tell me when did you get the interview invite for jan 11?
 
does anyone know when they plan on contacting people again? I talked to Isaac and he informed me I was still under review on dec 3rd after my interview in october. I'm not sure if that is good or bad. has anyone been put on a waitlist at all?

Just withdrew my application.

Good luck to everyone!
 
Hey everyone. I also had got my initial interview email on Dec 21. I have an interview on Jan 11-2013. Congratulations to those who have been already accepted to the school. I look forward to meeting those who also have an interview on Jan 11. 🙂

Hey my interview is on Jan 11th too. Hope to see you there !!
 
Does anyone have any advice on interviews?
 
Does anyone know if the school has sent out the second wave of acceptance yet?

Haha, if you can excuse me very much, and pardon my intrusion. And by that I mean, before I get a **** storm of profanities and death threats. I'm just gonna start by playing my little violin! Gasp... And finish off by saying that, ready for this? I'm just gonna turn into a grumpy old..... Man, before I get my rejection thread lmao..:laugh:.. So consider becoming a grandpa before you actually hear anything... If I was born in UNE, I'd still be waitin for my )&$( damn birth certificate! Lol.... :laugh::laugh::laugh:

I got my acceptance letter today, and interviewed on December 3rd...So it looks like they've started sending more acceptances out.

Was it e-mail?
 
Email acceptance today! Interviewed in Oct.

Really liked the school and program, but feel that it's not meant for me. Will probably be declining soon. And as for the applicants who have interviews, biggest thing is for you to keep your calm. I felt my interviewer grilled me, and therefore I didn't want to comment on how my interview went until after I found out what the results were, but my interviewer grilled me. I didn't realize it was happening until after I left the school. It might have just been a technique to see how well I react under direct scrutiny...which isn't fun, but I managed.

Know why you like UNE and what's so good about the school, and be ready to talk about your community service. I think that's one feature that they really admire in students and want their class to be filled with.

Good luck to all!
 
has anyone who interviewed on 10th dec also heard back today?
 
I was accepted today. I noticed nobody has confirmed acceptance on this thread. Has anyone been accepted?
 
You will get emails with parking passes and an itinerary.
 
If the Dean left you a voice mail saying he has some news for you. What does that mean?
I feel so stupid not picking up my phone earlier and now I have to wait till Monday to call him back.
I probably can't sleep till then 🙁
 
I knew it! Congrats!

Though I didn't receive the call from the Dean last week...I just received an email...so you must be a highly coveted candidate! Congrats again 🙂
 
Congratz to those who have already been accepted!

I had an interview on Sept but never heard back anything yet.

I know it's not a good sign since the class is getting filled rapidly.

Does anyone know how many seats have been filled at this point?
Do you think the chance of acceptance for early interviewee has got very very slim at this point?
I know there are probably other ppl who had an interview on Sept or Oct but still waiting for the acceptance.

I feel almost no hope.. absolute losing my patience at this point of time.🙁

If there's any advice, I d really appreciate!
 
Try contacting Isaac Stickney and asking the status of your application? Not sure how many seats are filled nor how many acceptances have been sent out yet, but I am planning on declining soon. Just waiting to receive all the paperwork to review the process, etc. Hopefully you'll hear from them ASAP!

Hi there,

I also interviewed in Oct and hear nothing so far so I felt for you buddy..
I asked Issac last week about that and he replied that within 1-6 weeks, we will hear
our acceptance/waiting-list/rejection by e-mails and it will be rolling basis... so yeah... let's just wait for another 5 weeks for anything good/bad/worst.

Btw, is there any other new interview sessions?
 
One more thing from Issac,

If you get wait-listed, you won't get your ranks because application process keeps changing according to him...
 
une showed up on my aadsas for the first time today ("updated" 8/2). never interviewed though
 
I called UNE the other day to see what was going to happen in the next few weeks in regards to the admissions process and was told that they are officially done handing out the "2nd round" of interviews and will possibly consider more if those who are accepted decided to not attend.

Interviews or acceptances?
 
Declined my acceptance offer, so hoping one of you lucky people will get the call soon! Good luck, UNE's a great school! 🙂
 
Does anyone knows if they are still sending out interviews?
 
Does anybody have any idea about the accreditation of the school? I hope they got approval for accreditation when we graduate!
 
is anyone else's status (who have interviewed at UNE) on AADSAS still "invited for interview" ... I know that we were told it will stay like that until an official decision was made, just curious if anyone else still has that same status.
 
Did anyone who interviewed on Jan 11th get anything back yet?

The school has received status of initial accreditation. That is the only status they can get until they begin. So yes, of course they will be.
 
Interviews or acceptances?
They were only 12 or so per interview group. The class size will be 45-48 people, so they most likely meant the second round of acceptances.....because it would take them accepting 4 complete interview groups without leaving anyone out to fill the class, and they didn't do that. They took some from each I am sure. Not all of those people got in......one kid brought his mom to the interview. If he got in, I might have to return my acceptance. LOL.
 
I'd like to start a little discussion here. The class size for UNE is going to be less than 50 people. Group practices will most likely be in three's, so the total number of the class size must be divisible by three. The Dean said initially it would be 45, then said maybe 48.....anyways, that isn't important. My point is, for those of you that wish to comment, how do you really feel about this school? Are you concerned about not being prepared? Or, do you feel very accomplished making it into such a small class size out of all the applicants? The tuition will not be much cheaper than Boston schools, which have specialty rotations under the same roof along with decades of performance. Is anyone feeling like they may leave unprepared from UNE? Are you excited for the unknown? Thoughts are encouraged. This is not the first dental school the Dean has opened, so that is helpful. I did receive an acceptance. I interviewed in October. I am an RDH. What do other accepted applicants think?
 
I think the student that graduates last in the class from UNE will still be a dentist. Will the be the most experienced graduate? Probably not. If they don't feel ready to be out in the real world, they can certainly enroll in a residency, which I think about half of all students do now anyway.. Is the school expensive relative to in state institutions? Yes, on the higher side. (Although maybe the living costs up there are lower)...

i just checked mine today and it has changed to offer made

I honestly like their program and the fact that students will be sent out in their 4th year to local dental office. So NO, i think if you can study and follow the program, you will be prepared.
Unless you plan for specialty i don't think it's a good idea to go there because they are new and still need to focus on their basic curriculum first.
Just my opinion

Yeah, I agree with that.
 
does anyone know if they are still making offers?

Ok, like UNE actually sends stuff after my posts. Wonder if any connection exists?

So here is the update, spoke to a lady from ME Dental society today. She said....

a. Class of 45 students (not 48) was filled.


b. Vice dean was giving a tour of Yankee Dental Congress (Boston Dental exhibition center) to future studs.

On convention floor I could not catch the vice dean today (this Saturday), had a ****load of CE credits to do.
Ummm, after thoughts, well if they would have a class of 48 then the last 3 individuals were not named, or simply they downsized to 45 seats for 1st year because of equipment issues. I would post on UNE facebook page, because those in contact with vice or dean would know.

Also, my interview experiences, I was present at the very first interview held, because of early application. Honestly, they have a psychological pressure way of interview, where one asks a questions and the other writes a response. ( I have worked with verbally abusive dental managers/dentists for many years, I see what they do! )

Reasons I am glad I did not get accepted,
1. Some of the applicants that got in, acted like total jerks (acted inappropriately), seriously, and like the one above who mentioned some ones mother coming in for interview. What is your problem, who cares? I stand by my words. I would not want to be apart of student body who are so competitive, that they have to degrade others to feel good about themselves.

2. I am a mellow guy and I understand that during 1st year, some of the lecturers are simply not going to be dentists, thus some people drafted from their DO program (inside source from ME dental society). The entire curriculum is going to be changed without notice, perhaps multiple times. Feel bad for the students, until stable curriculum is organized.

3. The practice has just started, and two things can happen, a lot of medicaid/care patients rush in (with no insurance), for reduced fee for services during first 4 years and then it mellows down. This school good or bad would need to build extremely good reputation, god help the patients (that might not come at all during first year) and the staff. Low patient base leads to less opportunity during first year 3 of dental school. Say you study basic sciences 1st year, 2nd year work on each other, 3rd year start working on patients. Also 4th year, beginning of good and bad satalight clinics would mean, students would work "blind" in trusted dentists clinics in their crucial year before the boards. I just hope the studs get to rotate a lot, and how can you build good cases or go through multiple phases of treatment with continuous rotation? Ideal way is to stay at a place for at least 2-3 months. Assuming your tufts/bu patients dont swallow some of your primary outreach clinic base patients already.

4. Interview... a show and tell? or a shouting match ( if you shout your name and act socially, and act like you care you get a call from someone, simple as that, I swear)? Was so unreal! This stupid question, if the 16 year old is pregnant and parents dont know, would you treat her for tooth ache? Would you tell the parents? Assuming you are conservative over the top, and you have a archive of the dental records probably since 6 years to 16, annual biteweing and some periapicals and no FMS, thats still enough information to not even be obligated to render additional radiation exposure, never mind the ginigival problems a 16 year old still has during 2nd trimester. After 1st trimester you could double shield and expose the pictures, but who cares? The rarity of angioma or some other lifetaking quick neoplastic lesion is so rare (pop to say hello, and go down below), that it would at least show up in previous findings. Then again you take your pa during 2nd trimester, and see NOTHING. What pissed me off is that, this question. "But the parents dont know, do you tell them?" Like a troll, looking for Scandinavian lightning? How many parents dont know their child is pregnant at 2nd trimester? NONE, OF COURSE THEY KNOW, SHES PREGNANT. AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL, BECAUSE OF PRIVACY LAWS, SHE IS 16. Still being ever vigilant and running all diagnostics that you need to come up with diagnosis is very important.

I am not gonna parade this institution any more, so this is the update... Probably a very good place, to start!
 
Should I make a FB page? Or is there already one out there- haven't found it if there is
