This is for UAB dent!
That happened to me too. It's normal. Our apps have already been reviewed, and we are no longer invited for an interview because it happened already. The decision status should only change on (possibly) December first at this point.

About how long were each of the 2 rounds of interviews?
There was just 1 group interview (4 on 1). I meant we were the second group/second date to interview. Like there was only 1 interview date before us.
Hey guys! Any IS interviewees yet?? I am IS and just got a call on Friday to interview on November 1st. From what I've heard/read, it seems like UAB did their OOS interviews first, and are now getting around to IS. Anyone else have thoughts on this, or scheduled their interview for Nov 1st?
Hey I am instate. The date they offered me was November 1st too. I took it without hesitation.
I interviewed July 26.. I'm IS.
Did anyone else OOS get an interview invite? I only saw one interview invite to someone OOS on the first page of this post.
I'm OOS and might be the person you are talking about, but everyone at my interview was OOS. There weren't any Alabama residents. Also, many of my friends (also Georgia residents) have had interviews or received interview invites. I don't think they put much emphasis on residency, especially in regards to the order of inviting people.
Interview #2
School: UAB
Notification date: 9/8
Method of notification: phone call
Residency: AL
AADSAS Mail out: 6/20
Application status: Complete 8/11
GPA (science, overall) Undergrad: 3.14/3.28; Graduate: 3.71/3.71
DAT (AA/TS/PAT/Reading/any section below a 17): 21AA/20TS/21PAT/26RC
Actually called to confirm my application was complete because as of last week they didn't have my letters although they were verified three weeks ago. When I talked to Kathy at Admissions she said that she had pulled my file earlier and I was on her next batch of calls to schedule an interview. So I will be interviewing on Nov. 15!

Hey guys! I just received the supplemental today. For the question "What is your reason for choosing UAB School of Dentistry", did you guys just hand write a response in the space provided or did you type up a longer separate response, since the space provided is very limited? Thanks!
I wrote very very small lol. I typed it up first before I start writing it.
do you remember around how many words/characters you were able to fit?

155 words. It got sloppy towards the end though when I was running out of space.
Yeah for out of state, not everyone will receive a secondary
So the secondary app is not mandatory?
It is mandatory but they only give it out to a limited amount of OOS applicants, I had everything submitted in early July and didn't receive the secondary until this week, so be patient, they're still reviewing the applications.
I am not sure what to put for "Is there anything of importance the committee should know about you?" What were some of the things you guys talked about?
The only thing I mentioned there is that I'm a student-athlete
I used this as a time to talk about when college was just difficult for me and how it may have reflected in my grades.
I think you wouldn't be ruled out since you got a supplemental and you're OOS. But there really is no telling!

accepted at 8am by dr filler!
Congrats, Can I ask what your status was before you got the phone call from them?
mine was none when I got the call
My status on AADSAS was "none" and it changed right after my interview.
Does anyone know how many students they called yesterday and when they might make the second round of phone calls? I'm also interested in the above question.. when would it be acceptable to call and ask the status of your application. Is it acceptable at all?
They do.
I just received an invitation for one this morning! so, yes!
I made a facebook page so we can start to meet our class. SDN won't allow me to post the link but just search UAB School of Dentistry Class of 2022 for all the people accepted!

I can't find it. Is it public?
I had my interview today and they said they're having one more interview day in January. About 4-5 people.
Do you know if they already gave out invites for that day yet?
They didn't mention
