So I applied to UoP on Sunday and I paid my supplemental the same day. The next day I received the email that says my application is under review. Since I applied late in august, will they review apps that were submitted before mine or is my app treated the same way as everyone's else since I got the application complete and under review email?

I received the under review email 7/16, do I still have a shot at an interview at this point? From last year's thread it seems like they go in order of submission.

I dont know about the order thing... i think there was someone on this thread who received an interview a few weeks before I did although I submitted about a month before them..
 
Urg this is frustrating, do you guys really think overshooting the school's enrolling averages decreases your chances? I'm a student with a 23 AA, 23 TS, GPA: 3.8+, Experiences are sub-par: 200+ lab research experience, 50+ hours dental shadowing experience.

Received/Under-Review status gained: Aug 10th

Those of you who've had interviews already-- what's the set up? 1v1? Closed? Open? Chill? Unchill?

Pretty chill day overall. There is a 1 pg writing sample at the beginning of the day. Student interview was super laid back and informal. More of a conversation. Interview with faculty was a little more intense. My interviewer had a printed copy of my personal statement, my writing sample, referenced several of the dentist's I had shadowed, and knew all of my extracurriculars. That said, he was still very genuine. We alternated between him asking a question and me asking a question. Good luck!

Super helpful, thank you so much!
 
It's my third year applying, I've been contacting admissions to check on status and have discussed my application multiple times. Long story short, I didn't do well when I first graduated high school. I went back to college at 25 and everything improved but my grades from 13 years ago are still stopping me from getting the call.

Hopefully this is my year! UoP is an AMAZING school, if you haven't had the chance to tour it you should! Everyone I talk to is so nice and the facility is top-notch. I would love to hear back from them soon!

They offered me 11/9, 11/16, and 11/27 but that was on 10/20 so they're probably more than likely all filled except the 27th by now.
