2018 ***The Official University of Iowa Class of 2022 Interview/Acceptance Thread***

[Badgers2]

I did not see Iowa's page so I figured I'd start it up.

I just received my interview invitation today (7/2). I'm an OOS applicant who visited this spring and absolutely loved the school. Can't wait to go back!

is there a supplemental fee for iowa?

 

[Badgers2]

is there a supplemental fee for iowa?

Yes, $60 domestic and $100 international

 

[670206]

Yes, $60 domestic and $100 international

Dang! When did you apply?

 

[Badgers2]

Dang! When did you apply?

I had everything completed on June 27th

 

[fit2]

I assume the fee email should be coming in tomorrow? You didn't get one yet right?

 

[Badgers2]

No, just the interview email. I find it strange that they're making us wait to pay them. Why not just put everything in the same email?

 

[dentite24]

I don't know, I'm not complaining! It's great that they are already sending interview invites and that we can go ahead and pick the date that's going to work the best for us.

 

[fit2]

Once you pay any idea how to find the interview scheduling?
Or do they have to send you another email?

 

[dentite24]

Yeah, they send you another with a link.

 

[fit2]

Yeah, they send you another with a link.

Awesome. Thanks!

 

[goprodent2]

Quick question, So the $60 fee is only paid if you get invited for an interview only?

 

[dentite24]

Correct

$100 for internationals

 

[670206]

This question is for Iowa natives: how did you list your activities for the past 3 years? Bullet points, short sentences, etc? I have a lot to put down, and 500 characters is not enough room lol. Thanks!

 

[dentite24]

Does anyone know typically how many people are interviewed at Iowa (in-state, out of state)?

 

[Life of Pablo]

Got an interview today!

 

[fit2]

Does anyone know typically how many people are interviewed at Iowa (in-state, out of state)?

There like a 50% chance if you're resident. If you're OOs I think is like between 1/30-1/40 or something like that so more difficult

 

[Buck-E-Badger]

Does anyone know typically how many people are interviewed at Iowa (in-state, out of state)?

IIRC just under 70% of in-state applicants will receive interviews and of those interviewed, roughly 80 percent will be accepted. Not so confident about the out-of-state numbers, but 1/30-1/40 doesn't sound too far off for OOS acceptances...

 

[Life of Pablo]

I found these numbers online from one of the stickied threads:

Out of state:

Applicants: 824
# Interviewed: 151
# Accepted: 78

IS:
Applicants: 106
# Interviewed: 73
# Accepted: 60

If you're instate, you have roughly an 82% chance of being accepted if you've interviewed. If OOS, you have around 52% chance.
Hope this helps everyone!

 

[dentite24]

I'm pretty sure only like 20-25 out of state get accepted and about 55-60 in-state get accepted

 

[jg4318]

I think those are the numbers for enrollment but many people get accepted but don't attend

 

[Buck-E-Badger]

Correct.

[dutch18]

I scheduled my interview for the 25th, but I'm struggling to find the secondary app itself. Could anyone help me out please?

 

[jg4318]

Just got deferred

 

[Chikarin]

Just got deferred

I'm sorry
Can I know when app was complete and your stat?

 

[jg4318]

Got email from them that app was received and they will begin reviewing July 2nd, but my committee letter wasn't sent until July 11th but I never got confirmation from them, 3.62 gpa and 23 DAT

:O you have great stat! Good luck with your other choices. Yap, agreed. Iowa is the only school that hasn't sent out any type of confirmation email to me, so I'm a bit worried (submitted ~2,3 weeks ago, verified long before that).

 

[dentite24]

From what I have seen from this year and from a couple past years, to get an invite to Iowa as an out of state student you need to be applying in June and have a high GPA with at least their average DAT if not a little higher. They send out interview invites very early so spots just fill up for their OOS invites, and they gotta leave room for the in-state kids.

I know somebody with like 3.3 GPA and applied middle of July and got an interview. They give interviews within 1 week of applying typically. They're very fast.

 

[PackerDentist96]

If I have not heard back from Iowa yet, do you think I should call/email them to inquire about my status? I had everything complete on June 26th but I have not been offered an interview or deferred as of now.

No because they have your application. They're still actively inviting people. Just hang tight.

 

[Brilliance11]

Interview invite!
