Was there today and they had a place for it in one of the offices and you just pick it up when you finish. The people were great, the interview (MMI) was great and overall it was a really neat experience.

Wishing you guys the best of luck! It was great seeing some of you guys there. As always, you guys can msg me for questions about the school. I know that under pressure/stress it's hard to speak up and ask questions at the meeting with the dean 🙂

Really wonderful experience yesterday. Good luck to the rest of you

got an interview on october 20th. Does anyone want to split a room with me?

 

[SharkTooth_oohaha]

Also got an interview invite for 10/6!!

Currently looking for flights and the only return flight out from Portland is at 5:50 for me. Assuming we get out right at 4:30... does anyone think I could/couldn't catch the flight? The airport is roughly 15 min away from campus according to google.

I'm interviewing the same day!
I sorta came across the same problem, but I took the safe way out and scheduled my flight for a different day. The last thing I want is the added stress of catching a flight, while dealing with the interview.

I used airbnb. It was only $60ish per night, and just a few blocks away from the school.

I also had a great experience at the interview, it was great meeting all of you who were in the morning session!!

Do you think it's too late to add UNE to my dental school designations??

If you don't mind, when was your supplemental completed? I just finished mine, UNE email on Tuesday saying it was received.

 

[Soleus715]

It really depends on your application, but I do know people that got in applying in September. Couple years ago, someone was accepted on the first day of class!
If you're serious about UNE, I would consider applying this cycle.

 

[nebuchadnezzar90]

The flight price from Florida lol gonna be an expensive trip.

 

[DreamingOfDentistry]

got an interview as well! October 6th! Beyond ecstatic! Guess I'll follow suit and try to find an Airbnb.

You'll be fine I had a flight leaving at 550 and I made it with about 20-30 minutes to spare. The interview process was great and an enjoyable experience. Also the airport is about 10 minutes away from the school so there isn't much of a rush to get there 🙂

Thanks for the headsup but it ended up being $100 cheaper just spending an extra night there thanks to the plane ticket prices. Might as well explore the area a bit i guess 🙄.

I also had a great experience at the interview, it was great meeting all of you who were in the morning session!!

Is the interview over exactly at 1pm? There is a flight that leaves at 3:30pm and I'm wondering if that would be cutting it close..

Should be fine. We were done almost exactly at 1 p.m. Then I had a four hour wait until my flight. Go for the 3:30 flight in my opinion.

Aww. Thanks for the quick response, really helpful! 🙂

 

[DMDDDSHopeful]

Anyone can shine light on what the average turnaround time would be from supplemental to invite? Just curious if there is one.

Fairly certain there is no time-line for that other than, are you a good applicant and do we like you.

Received an Interview invite this morning! It's for October 6th which is in like two weeks so flight prices are crazy! Two weeks notice seems a little short. Are they pretty flexible when it comes to rescheduling the interview date?

Try calling them to ask

 

[O Gaúcho]

Looks like I either have to go to that one specific date they assigned to me, or I give up my interview invite and hope to get another. Seems very strange

 

[O Gaúcho]

Interview invite here

Rescheduling tho, time conflict.

Did you reschedule by checking the option "No... I will not be attending. Please notify me if there is another interview date available." ?

 

[O Gaúcho]

No way! Hahah they said if I couldn't make this date that they would throw my application back into the sea of applications

How did you get the date changed?! I contacted them and said I can't change it. The only thing I was told is " I am not able to guarantee another invitation for a later date but can place your application back in the general applicant pool for consideration". How did you reschedule without losing it?

 

[Hey ug]

Did you reschedule by checking the option "No... I will not be attending. Please notify me if there is another interview date available." ?

Yeah, they will send another email with a reschedule. Do not pick the withdraw app option

 

[acesofseven]

So my application has been complete for almost 3 weeks. Does anyone know how it took for them to get it under review?

I've just been looking up practice mmi questions and looking at how to phrase answers. Anything online I can find.

 

[577455]

On my way to Maine right now. See some of you at the interview tomorrow 🙂

 

[O Gaúcho]

I had my interview rescheduled to November 3rd. I'll be interviewing in Florida on the 2nd so it will be fun rushing from Florida at 6pm to Maine for the interview in the morning haha. Does anyone know if Uber works at the airport? I know that at some airports Uber is banned.

 

[nebuchadnezzar90]

Is a 5pm flight cutting it close?

At the airport in Portland, ME? I don't know about Uber but I took Lyft to and from.
For Fort Lauderdale airport I took Lyft as well. I'm assuming Uber would work as well.

I Ubered, it was great. I was early and on time.

 

[RS2224]

I just applied to this school.. found out about it recently. I know it's late.. but better late than never lol They're really fast with the email. I added the school to my designations 10 minutes ago and got the email that it's under "preliminary review" so.. hoping to at least hear something in soon time.

 

[RS2224]

just got the supplemental!

 

[RS2224]

I just got the supplemental after adding this school on AADSAS at 11 am today. Is this a good sign? I know this isn't a big deal but just wondering lol. Sorry for writing twice just wondering loll

 

[dentist_dude]

Anyone here with an complete app date in mid August or later already got an interview invite?
