someone in the OFFICIAL INTERVIEW thread mentioned they received a UNC interview offer today. so hopefully more people can hear good news.
I got this link from one of the old UNC posts. It's a schedule of committee meetings for the dental school:
http://www.dentistry.unc.edu/resources/committees/schedules/schedule.pdf
It just updated today for Spring 2013 and says that the next admissions committee meeting will be January 30th. Not sure how they'll be making calls this round, but at least we know roughly when to start freaking out, haha.
Good find.
Good luck to everyone at their interview this weekend (tomorrow)!
Read the interview feedback for UNC on SDN if you haven't yet...It helped me out a ton.
So if we interviewed before december but didnt hear back then January 30th would be the last chance?
Not necessarily. I'd say case by case basis, email Wilder or Morano to confirm. They can grant a waiver from retakes or prereqs if similar courses are taken. Again, email Wilder or Morano.hey guys I have a quick question!
I was reading through the pre-reqs for unc dental and just noticed they require that the pre-req courses need to be no longer than 5 years old.
some of the pre-req courses are freshmen classes(english, intro to chem, bio)
so does mean for all the applicants who were not admitted right after graduating will need to repeat these courses?
I will probably call the office to ask once they are open but wanted to know if anyone had a similar experience in the past.
thanks!
Finally, I looked at the Facebook C/O 2017 page earlier and it said there were 74 members. Please tell me that does not mean there are currently only 7 remaining seats available....
i know there is a member on here, sarabellum (not sure if that is her exact name) who is either connected to the adcom or knows a bit about them. she would update us every few days of what was happening. I remember he posting that the adcom was meeting up during one of the mornings and the phone calls followed right after.
she was very helpful during the interview/acceptance cycles.
throughout the years ive heard a few things. dont know if anything is true or not. but from what i know....
they meet up immediately after the interview is over ~1pm or whenever the day was done. and the 3 talk about who they liked and pretty much nominate 1 or 2, i dont know, people.
ive also heard that not every interviewer is on the actual panel. ive also been worried about someone who interviewed me, not being there and instead, having my info on a sheet of paper for everyone to based it on.
but who knows!
ive also heard the student interviewer has no real negative or positive factor, BUT they can give you an extra boost if they nominate you out of the 7-8 people.
these are just things ive heard.
i know they sit around a table during selection day. lol
Looks like they've made their decisions. Maybe won't release them until Feb but I got this email today in my rejection to UNC
"The Admissions Committee of the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry has made selections of acceptances and alternates for the DDS Class of 2017."
Good luck to everyone still in it

I just got an email that said all SDN members in this particular thread have automatic acceptances.

And full scholarship.
Has anyone's status changed from Received/Under Review since the Jan. 12th interview?
Does anyone know for sure if tomorrow is the big day??? I am getting nervous because my status has not changed yet.
You guys should all expect the call on the day that is square root of the numbers of stars visible over Chapel Hill on the 4th consecutive Wednesday with a full moon after the day the application cycle opened. Expect the hour to be found by a complex algorithm that theoretical computer science cannot yet compute. However previous years have showed it to be 8:28AM (+/- 5.5749 minutes) at a 95% confidence interval.
