I called once, got an answering service. Called again about 20 minutes later and she picked up 🙂. I'm on the 19th.
 
I got my invite early last week and I'm set for the 8th! my first dental school interview.. idk what to expect!
 
I received a confirmation email that says interviews begin at 1 pm (other things happen earlier in the day). Does anyone know when we can expect the day to end? I'd like to book a return flight home for that evening.

They said to plan to be at the school from 9am-3:30pm.
 
@pinklax @Kef318 @Faux did you guys fill out any supplementals? I just paid the fee $75 and not sure if I will have to submit anything else :/
 
Any idea how much time to allow for travel from the school to Bradley International Airport on a Friday?
 
AADSAS updated my status to "received/under review" on 7/24, other schools say "received/application complete" not sure if there is any significance between the two different status titles... Anyone know earliest to be looking for interview invite if my app was received end of July? I see some people have already been getting invites, which is making me incredibly anxious..literally checking my email every 5 minutes! fingers crossed! Good luck everyone!

My application was sent 7/18, but not complete until 8/6 (I was missing one LOR). They notified me by email before my status changed on AADSAS. I know it's really hard waiting. But if your stats are competitive you'll get an interview, just gotta be patient and try not to stress yourself out.
 
I got an interview invite last Friday! The person in charge was out of office till Monday,
so I waited and called her yesterday. Apparently the spots for September interviews are mostly filled in,
and the next earliest ones available were October 17th or 20th (if I remember the dates correctly...).
I got the spot for September, but I believe that their spots are getting filled quickly!
 
I am so scared guys I really wanna hear from UConn 🙁 do I stand a chance with those stats?
-oGPA 3.5 sGPA 3.43

It was really relaxed! The dean talks to you all morning and takes you for a tour. Then you have lunch with students before an interview with two faculty members which is about 20 minutes long. Nothing out of the blue with questions, just clarifying things already included in your application. Good luck!!

Was the interview done at 3:30 or did you have to stay longer?

They start at 1, and I was the first one to go so I was out by 1:30. Other people had to sit and wait a bit
 
Had my interview today. Seems like a wonderful program and the staff is very, very welcoming. Those who get an interview, no reason to be nervous. Just be yourself and enjoy the ride. Did anyone else have it today?

Mine changed. I just checked today. I interviewed November 3rd

"Please check back on December 1 for more information regarding your decision status with this school"

Is that what it says for you guys?

Around mid sept I believe. what does yours say?

Oh no.. mine was November 3rd too and it never changed. I read on other threads that those whose status changed means acceptance, but everyone is just hypothesizing. But the fact that someone's changed with the same interview date as mine leads me to believe that it's not good news for me..
