Any suggestions on where to stay? Trying to keep the cost relatively low and convenient to get to campus, but nothing sketch either haha.

Have you tried AirBnB? There should be places around the campus for ~$50 a night.

I stayed at the Stratosphere Hotel and Casino and had the time of my life lmao. I paid around $120 for two nights. It was only 7 minutes away from UNLV too!

Is UNLV interviewing in order or just qualified applicants first?
Any rejections so far?

My friend got a rejection from them this Tuesday. They seemed to have given a lot of rejections these past two weeks so if you haven't gotten one yet I'd say you are in good shape and still in the running.

Just recieved an interview from here today. Unfortunately the earliest date available was December 7th. Does anyone know how soon they would let me know if I am accepted or not or how long they usually take to make a decision on a post December interview? I don't want to run into deposit issues.

The student interviewer had read my personal statement and that was all. If I remember correctly he/she only had access to that. The faculty interviewer had complete access to my file but my interviewer had actually not read mine at all. He told me before he began asking questions that he chose to only read where I was from and the school I had attended.

Haha where does it say that? Definitely not 2.5 days lol. I think it was like 30 minutes for each interview or so. Maybe 45 mins each? I can't remember, but it was very relaxed. My student interview actually took place outside on a walkway. Nothing to be nervous about for this one, just be yourself and be honest and you'll do fine. As of now this was by far my favorite interview day format.

Am I crazy?! It says so under Phase 2 of the application process page on their website. It won't let me leave a link :( Is there a manual dexterity test?

Nope! Just an overview of the day, financial aid presentation, campus tour, lunch w/ current students, and the 2 interviews. Oh and even though I had my student interview before my faculty one, we were paired up and then swapped after the first interview. So the applicant I was with did the faculty interview first while I was with the student, then we switched.

Editing to answer your first question: you aren't crazy, but you are most likely looking at their 2 year program for international dentists to get their DDS from UNLV. While there is no difference between DMD/DDS, UNLV uses the two different degrees to separate their two different programs. The DMD being the 4 year degree while the DDS is the 2 year program for foreign trained dentists.

Is UNLV done with interviews? I still didn't get a response from them :(
 
Do any of you know if those of us that are interviewing in the 30th will find out by the 3rd?
 
Has anyone heard back? Did anyone's AADSAS status change?

Accepted - received email to check portal. Portal shows acceptance.
 
Did those who got acceptance emails OOS? I thought they called
 
For those who are curious, I got accepted and my formula score before interview was 49.69. Assuming I got a perfect on both interviews (being generous here lol), my score would be 74.69.

Apparently, 50-55 is competitive and 55+ means you’re pretty much in. Also, according to different threads over the years, it seems like these ranges apply to the OOS applicants. Idk what the ranges are for IS. I spent last week panicking and looking through older forums for reference but couldn’t find much, so I thought I’d post this to help those who are still waiting to hear back or for next year’s applicants who are lurking this thread (lol).

For those who don’t know what I’m talking about, UNLV uses a formula to help evaluate their applicants after the interview. Also at the interview, Dr. Ancajas said that the formula is not the only determining factor tho, so don’t fret. Here’s a link for reference: UNLV Formula

You have amazing stats! With that ridiculous RC, of course you got in lol!
 
My status is "incomplete" on the UNLV portal, but I received an e-mail saying my application is complete and under review. I wanted to know if the UNLV portal is an accurate indication of your application status? Thanks!

Does anybody who already interviewed know what the school's instrument fee is? I don't see it listed on their website (Tuition | School of Dental Medicine | University of Nevada, Las Vegas) as part of the tuition/fees. Thanks

I am a D1 at UNLV. As far as I know, you rent out our instruments throughout the 4 years. I’m sure there was a fee for the use of gloves, masks, material, etc. but that will just be included in it all.

Now you will have to buy your own typodont teeth (and composite gun, curing light, etc. if you don’t want to have to share with the supplied ones from UNLV), but that will be only maybe $100.

Ya, just relax. They really make it point to make their interviews as stress-free as possible. Suuuuuuuper chill. Definitely the best interview day for me out of the ones I've had.
 
For those still waiting on post-December interviews, I was sent an invitation to interview via email today.
