Got an interview!

I really wasn't thinking I'd have a shot at any school because of my GPA... Science 2.5, Non-Science 3.2...

Do you have pre-dental experience? My stats arent so hot, avg DAT scores, but I've been an RDH for 8 years with plenty of experience, shadowing, volunteer work, etc. Why do I still feel like a lost cause?!?!

You think commuting an hour away from NYU in some place like jersey is worth it to save some extra dough?
Thanks.

I don't think it's worth it. When you take into account transportation, the money adds up. I wouldn't trade the convenience of living nearby just to save a few bucks especially on days when you have your first class at 8am and your last one ends at 8pm. That's just my opinion though. Other people commute and do just fine.

Do you have any idea what the interview/acceptance ratio is? NYU doesn't publish that info in the ADEA book, wondering if you have any insight. I know various numbers have been thrown around, but maybe you've heard something 'straight from the horses mouth,' so to speak.

To be honest I don't think anybody knows.
From what I've heard in the past, pre-December is over 50%. Again, just rumors.
 
KNock, Knock NYUCD, I am still here, waiting for you!!! Although at this point I'll just go for the food everyone talks about lol

Do you mind posting your DAT scores and when you submitted your application? I have a low GPA too so I was hoping to compare because I haven't heard back yet....thanks!!
 
meean said:
Applied a week after the application came out, got app complete in early July.



Early July. No problem!



I have a lot of shadowing/dental experience with both general and specialized dentists. Took a pre-dental course taught at my undergrad's dental school. Got a 21 TS (21, 21, 21)/23 AA/23 PAT which I'm sure helps...as well as a 30 on math hahah. Although my GPA is low, I did take really heavy courseloads and was doing a lot of volunteering related to music during school. Hope this helps!

Thanks a lot! HOLY CRAP math was my worst portion (16) and RC was my best (24) everything else is 18-19. keeping my fingers crossed! Great job and congrats, by the way!!! 👍:bow:
 
Do any of you guys have NYU listed under AADSAS school decisions list? I never had them on there from the beginning. I even went to an interview in mid-November and they're still not appearing.

They don't use aadsas to update applicants. No worries. I interviewed in September and never had them on aadsas.
 
Did Dr. Mejia say when she was going to be sending out the emails during anyone's interview? I think she said in the morning no?

I believe she said you will know something Monday... so whether that be acceptance, waitlist, or rejection it will be in the email.
I hope I hear some good news tomorrow! Good luck everyone! :xf::luck:

Last year I got an acceptance email sometime between 5am-6am! I assume it will be the same for you guys! GOOD LUCK!!!!
 
Does anyone know if they send out all acceptances at once for people who interviewed before dec 1 st or do they send them out in batches through out the first week of dec? thanx

5-6 am eastern standard time?? Might just stay up and wait until then...
 
At my interview they told us that we'll hear back on december 3rd so if you dont hear today then dont worry
 
oh man dr mejia said that anyone who interviewed before thanksgiving would have a status by today sent by email.
when did you interview?
 
I interviewed early October but dr. mejia wasnt at my interview. Instead we had another professor who is involved with the admissions process talk to us at the Q&A and he said october 3rd.

I hope you're wrong about this 🙁
I can't handle another day of this.
 
this thread feels really quiet for dec 2nd lol

haven't heard back from NYU since i got the app complete email in august. my stats are:
sGPA: 3.0 cGPA: 3.2
DAT: 21 AA, 20 TS (19 Bio, 19 OC, 23 GC), 24 PAT, 24 RC, 21 QR

any advice? working on raising my GPA this semester, but I only took 13 hours so won't make too much of a drastic difference. should i retake the DAT? I have about 90-100 hours of shadowing, 100+ research and work experience.

You DAT score is fine so i wouldnt retake it. If i were you i would look into doing a post-bacc program to raise your gpa.
 
i was told at my interview that it will go on the aadsas website either accepted, rejected, or wait listed...but then i've heard nyu doesn't use aadsas...any ideas?
 
yeah they don't use aadsas for updates. I've been freaking out all night. Well if one person got an e-mail I guess they're coming?
 
Tick tock tick tock! Come on I have a final at 10 need to know!!! The website says dec 2 and they don't use the portal. Still waiting here, last name starts with R if that means anything. Fingers crossed everyone, good luck!
 
Do you guys know if they reconsider stats again after you interview? Or do they just base it on the interview from that point on?

I hope not, I was lucky enough to get an interview, this is my only one!
 
Okay off to class, good luck everyone hope it comes soon!
 
On their website it says they send acceptances through postal mail:

Admission Notifications:

The first admission notifications are mailed on December 2nd. After that date, NYUCD has rolling admissions. Admission notifications are sent via postal mail.
 
Dr. Mejia said to disregard anything on their website when I was there.
 
were there any forms we needed to fill out after the interview? just making sure.
 
i called the office. They had a glitch in the system it seems like. Asked to wait patiently. I hope all of us hear back with good news sometime soon🙂

They always look at the whole package, not just based on interview alone. That would be crazy, what if you got good stats, been working hard but have a bad interview day or have an interviewer who has a prejudice against you. In fact, i heard the faculty interviewer isnt the one that has could determine if u are accepted or not, he is just there to give am opinion. It is the whole committee that will make a decision and they will look at your whole package to decide, interview is a portion of the packge

thanks for the update...did they give an estimated time for fixing the glitch?
 
I think the lady I spoke to was Dr. Mejia. She said to "please wait until at least noon"
