Total of 8, I think.

There are 8 RIDE students accepted per year. I am not one, but maybe one will answer.

I applied for it, still waiting to hear back post-interview. I actually didn't know I was eligible until I interviewed (had to update/revise my app with Kathy once I got home), because their previous policy was only WA residents could participate, but now it's open to all.

I believe 8 students are selected for RIDE, though I could be wrong.

8 RIDE, 55 Seattle...100% positive

8 do RIDE, I have a friend that got accepted Dec. 1 and he said he got accepted to RIDE as well. So he is doing RIDE.

 

[dds ed]

63 students are admitted each year to the class. 8 are selected from this group for the RIDE program. There often are more than 8 that show interest in this program so this could be a selction proces also . On your app, it absolutely does not make any difference if you show Ride as a preference for your chances of getting an interview

 

[jhanago]

I think it's been established that 8 people get into the Ride Program.

Thanks! I interviewed on the 2nd day of Interviews on Oct. 17th.

 

[Gmoneyforever]

Congrats!!! The adcom met today, that explains the phone call. I wonder how many spolefts filled and if anybody is going to turn down their acceptance. I can only hope. Lol

I just had my interview today. I loved the new set up, but I hope that I had more time. Thank you all for all the advice and tips. I hope to join you all next year.

The RIDE program has been 8 people each of the first four years and is said to be increasing in size in the near future. I think it is still 8 this year, not sure though.

Good luck! I hope you get in!!

 

[jhanago]

Did you guys pay your deposit? I was denied

 

[kaye1der]

I am wondering how many students they already accepted. I am still waiting...my AADSAD status still says invited for interview. Kathy told me that I should hear back after the holidays, I am super anxious!!! What does this mean anyways? They didn't reject nor accept me...it makes me curious to where I stand. I have been waiting and waiting, and my head is going to explode LOL. I will just have to wait some more!!!

 

[Gmoneyforever]

The adcom will meet on mid January (13th or 14th) and will send acceptance to 4 applicants. They filled exactly half of the class.

Hey, did they give you this info at your interview or something, it's amazingly specific.

 

[Gmoneyforever]

Yes. They were very upfront about giving specific information that day. I guess they didn't like the fake news and/or gosssips on SDN.

Only 4?

 

[Gmoneyforever]

That is what we were told. I could be wrong, but I think they are trying to make sure that they have spots left for future interviews till the end of the cycle.

Wow, I guess they have their system down then lol

 

[ddmdds]

I applied to RIDE as well as the Seattle campus program. Funny the RIDE page doesn't explicitly state the number of spaces available, though I understand that UW continues to increase the number each year.
I am hoping to get picked for RIDE for the great experience of working in community clinics, though the job outlook in Spokane is pretty grim. (My spouse will be supporting us through my dental education - not an inconsiderable issue.)

 

[Gmoneyforever]

I am in guys. Can't wait to meet my future classmates.

 

[Kahr]

I am in guys. Can't wait to meet my future classmates.

Congrats, did they just let you know by phone?

 

[seattlesun]

[Gmoneyforever]

Thank you so much. I got the call today at 3:30.

 

[Bereno]

AWESOME! Way to go man! Feels good I'm sure

 

[Gmoneyforever]

Thanks man. Yesterday was a combination of laughs and cries. It would have been so cool if you went here too.

Btw Gmoney, did you apply to RIDE as well? I wonder if they still have spots for that...

 

[Gmoneyforever]

I didn't.

 

[Gmoneyforever]

I am not sure, but I think 4 people are on the uw Facebook page that are ride students. Please correct me if I am wrong.

 

[ramisill]

Anybody know the next time the Adcoms are meeting? Hopefully the weather doesn't interfere with their ability to meet.

 

[Annamk]

My interview is scheduled for Feb 6th. Does anyone know how long you have to accept an offer once it is made this late in the process? A couple weeks, a month?

 

[tmirchel]

I got the call today! I am in! I called 2 weeks ago to ask about any news and she said they had none, because i was going to be putting a deposit down at UoP. Than today when she called she said "I talked to you a few weeks ago about a deposit somewhere else right? and she said sorry" 2 weeks to the day!

SO EXCITED!

 

[Gmoneyforever]

Congrats. I bet you feel amazing right now.

They gave me two weeks, and the deposit is not due at the same time. They contact you later asking for money (250).
