[Milkteeth12]

I would email them, I got a confirmation fairly quickly after I signed up

 

[Lurrps]

Does any one kniw when the next round of interviews would be sent?

 

[DentalMan24]

Anyone interview here yet? How was the interview? Is it closed or open file?

 

[Lurrps]

I was there last year. Its an open file interview, so they could ask anything. When I was there it was very laid back, and conversational.
You arived there then you had a student panel/lunch. After that was a writing section, very easy prompts. Then they split you up into two groups. Each group would either do the interview first, or do the tour of the college. After that your done, it took about 4 hours for the whole event.

 

[Chase Small]

Does anybody know how many rounds of interview's they send out Pre-December?

 

[Surf & SRP]

Anyone receive interview invites recently? Particularly OOS? I feel as if its been very silent lately but maybe not many are posting.

 

[Noname96]

Same here, I interviewed a few weeks ago.

 

[Noname96]

Same here, I interviewed a few weeks ago.

Supposedly, if you‘re accepted then your status is supposed to change to “Check Back on December 2nd” during late November.

 

[Twinkle Moon]

Anyone else's mind going crazy since the AADSAS Status tab is down/buffering??? I'm imagining ALLLLL of the dental schools logging all day today to update our status before the Thanksgiving break.... And then it crashed!!!! Maybe when they get it back up and running, we will all have that "check back Dec 2nd" status!!!!!!

One more week guys!!!

[Twinkle Moon]

Nope. Still says complete on mine

 

[Noname96]
