Congrats!
I filled it out just to make sure I wouldn't give them any reason not to invite me. But no luck yet

 

[dentalfuturestudent]

I’m sure the questions are somewhat helpful for them about applicants their on the edge about inviting or not! I actually appreciate them sending out the survey lol, it gives me a chance to advocate for myself and show continued interest in the school! I almost wish more schools did stuff like this after sending out the first round of acceptances but also that would be SO much writing haha!

 

[Aloae]

Btw which day did you interview?

12/12

 

[Prophy96]

Is there a facebook group for Class of 2023? I just wanna know how many people got accepted

There is a page on facebook. They don't add you unless you're accepted, but you can see how many members are in the group. I think there's around 40ish or so in the group (probably a low ball since not everyone is in the group yet im sure).

12/12

Also interviewed 12/12 any news? One of my friends that interviewed with us got an acceptance last saturday but I believe they've since went on break and should resume business as usual on monday 1/6.

The interview is very conversational. Everyone there is very friendly and nice. There are 2 essay questions you need to answer before and after the interview. Also they gave us chocolate at the end of the interview lmao

Do you guys think they would still invite for an interview? I'm a re-applicant both no luck this time around so far either.

Hey guys I just realized by looking at this thread that they sent out an email with that survey in December and I totally missed it. Was it necessary to do to get an interview invite?

I filled it out and was offered an interview a few weeks later

I filled it out but did NOT get an invitation.

Interview #3
Notification date: 2/11/20; 2/12/20
Method of notification: Email; Stan Constantino calls me

AADSAS mail-out date: 7/12/2019
GPA (science, overall): 3.60, 3.63
DAT (AA/TS/PAT/Reading/any section below a 17): 24/24/24/27/none

Leading up to invitation:
- Attend UOP pre-dent events
- Optional supplemental questionnaire sent in December
- 0 interview invites until February
- 2/11/20 (~10AM): I call UOP asking if I could send in a rec letter from a UOP alumni (who I currently work for). Erica informs me that my application will be paused until they receive the letter from my dentist.
- 2/11/20 (~4PM): I get an email with the interview invitation Offer dates: Thursday, March 5, Monday, March 9, Thursday, April 2 or Monday, April 6.
- 2/12/20 (~4PM): I receive a call from area code (415). Stan asks when I'd like to interview.

I was seriously ecstatic when I received the invitation because I definitely thought my application was on pause. It took me by surprise and I told everyone I knew that I got the interview!🤣

Good luck to applicants who are still waiting on an interview invitation or acceptance letter

If anyone has already interviewed and has some good tips for future interviewees, please share!

Hello! I was wondering - people who interviewed early Feb have you heard back from admissions? On Monday it will be two weeks post interview, would it be too much to call admissions today (friday 2/14) to check on my status?

I interviewed on Feb 3rd and have not heard back. I emailed my interviewer last week to say thank you and he replied... but yeah nothing else
