It seems like a lot of people who got umich acceptances also got multiple acceptances elsewhere, so I was wondering how how post December acceptances work here, do they even give out any post December interviews or just pick people off the pre-December waitlist? I'm wondering if I should still keep hope for this school, applied in June and am IS and did not get an interview here, I have relatively low stats (3.3 sGPA, 3.5 oGPA, 20AA but good EC's and a strong PS) and I know umich takes the best but they also do take people from a wide range of backgrounds

They have 10 interview dates, 2 of which are post-december. 30 people invited to each interview date. If someone got waitlisted pre-december, they won't hear until February at the earliest (after the remaining interview dates).

Hope that helps and good luck!
 
anyone know UMich match rates? (OS, ortho, perio, endo)

All the current students I spoke at the interview said that anyone who wants to usually can (Assuming they have the grades and that they spent the time to build their application). The way the curriculum is set up, there are a couple class periods set aside each year for students to be able to pursue their interests related to research, or specializing. Look up their Pathways Program for more info.
 
For people who already deposited, did you guys receive an email receipt or confirmation of some sorts?
 
Have people received waitlist/rejection emails?

I called this morning (I interviewed on November) and people who haven't received any update are still up for consideration. Second round of acceptances is on February.

So if I haven't received a call, nor an email about being rejected, it's safe to say that I've been waitlisted?
 
I have not received any emails after interview either ( no acceptance, no rejection). What does it mean? Am I still considered?

They have a 4 year construction plan so the entire school will be going under construction starting our year and won't be finished until 2022. I loved Michigan, but I decided to not go because of that factor unfortunately :/

Well That's.... Unfortunate... but I don't think they will let that affect our education

Which school will you be attending? If you don't mind me asking.

I will be attending IU. Although you didn't ask, I figure you might be curious, so here is why:
IU is my state school, so I will save $100,000+ on tuition. IU will be completing a brand new clinical building next month, so the 4 years of construction at Michigan vs. the brand new facility at IU was a huge factor for me. My dentist went to Michigan and I asked his opinion and he told me he felt completely unprepared for private practice after attending Michigan, and his associate who he hired a few years ago graduated from IUSD in 2012 and said his associate is proof that IU will prepare me well clinically. However, my dentist that went to Michigan graduated 25 years ago, so things most definitely change. However, I couldn't ignore the advice of a Michigan grad telling me to go to IU, especially since I'll save a ton of money.

I spoke with the administration immediately following the interview about the construction. There will be no visible construction the first two years because the work being done will be on infrastructure stuff in the basement of the building such as plumbing. The next two years they will work on one clinic at a time, and because the D4 students will be out for 12 weeks rather than 9, this gives more clinic space than normal.

I can't blame you for making the decision you did. I wish you the best of luck!

Probably tough to find any university with zero construction. No construction = no innovation.

Great Decision.
 
Hey all! I'm a senior at The University of Michigan and after attending our pre-dental meeting tonight, the dental students recommended creating a Facebook Group! I created one, it's called "The University of Michigan Dental Class of 2022" locate it and request to join! I can't wait to meet you all 🙂

I can’t seem to find this on Facebook.. mind just posting the link? Also how are you ensuring that not a bunch of randoms are requesting to join/being accepted..? I suggest adding a password to join.. maybe something that was specifically stated in our acceptance emails?

Could you post a link?
 
So just to be clear, they are not giving out the next round of acceptances until February?

Log into Facebook | Facebook (edit: link looks weird on SDN, but should direct to the group)

@shwayne does make a good point. Idk why someone would want to join a page like this if they weren't actually in the class, but then again, a safeguard might be smart to have in place.

Do you know if the two post-december interviews are all in January?
 
Anyone know when/if they have sent out post dec invites? I haven't received a rejection letter or email and my status has been "Received/Application Complete" since July.
 
Just sent in my decline for my acceptance earlier this month! Can't beat the in-state tuition in my home state haha.

I just got an interview invitation! I was also told that they will give a final verdict to us all in early February. All of us in dental school purgatory will know soon ifwe are waitlisted, denied, or accepted.

Best of luck every one! :luck:

Hi! Can you tell me a little bit about how munger works? Is it really 600ish for your own room? can we pick our own roommates? pls and thank youu
Click to expand...

Hey ruzzah, Munger is a graduate student apartment that's on central campus and it's about a 10 minute walk from the dental school. There are two apartment options: 6 person or 7 person. In both of these options, you get your own room and attached bathroom with a shared living area and kitchen consisting of 2 fridges, 2 ovens, 2 microwaves, fully furnished, etc. You live with other graduate students, such as medicine, law, pharmacy and business. 6 person costs ~$950/mo and the 7 person is $902/mo. This cost includes everything, such as rent, internet, utilities, etc. There's a built in gym on the 8th floor, study lounges, and some other cool amenities Munger offers.
 
Hey guys,
Between a couple of family and work things, I haven't been able to even think about where i will be attending yet, causing me to put down a couple of deposits to multiple schools, Michigan being one of them. While I would love to go here, I felt like the current students I met at UM were a little more... competitive? High-strung? Cynical? I loved everything else about the program though, and all the faculty members I met during PBL were awesome. However, the people on the UM admitted facebook page has BY FAR been the most friendly, open, and outgoing from the other school. I guess I'm just curious-- did I get a rough batch of students at my interview? Did anyone else notice this vibe? Can current students speak to the general atmosphere and let me know if I was imagining it or not? Please feel free to DM me too for privacy.
Thanks guys... try not to judge me too hard, I promise if I could, I would've asked this long ago.

its know to be a very competitive atmosphere. I asked my tour guide about it and he said you'll find competition everywhere and you'll find your group where ever you go. It might be very high strung and competitive, after all it is U of M.

For sure for sure... I recognize that every school has its mix of students--gunners, slackers, whatever. And I know that every school is going to kick our butts at one point or another. I guess I was just curious if anyone else got those vibes and are just shaking it off because it's UM? Or if other prospectives felt like it was friendly and awesome and don't know wtf I'm referring to. I mean who knows, I could've simply gotten unlucky with a group of students who I personally wouldn't want to study with lol
