Thanks for giviing us input. My supplemental was 3 pages. I felt I had a lot to say but kept telling myself "quality over quantity, quality over quantity" 🙂
They send out the brochure once they receive your supplemental app and fee, right? I got mine this past week and they don't have my DAT scores yet.
I'd recommend getting the supplemental to them within a week, it doesn't take too much time to complete. They'll send you the brochure after they receive your supplemental app/payment.
What time did you get it?
Just now (11:48am pacific time)
I got an interview invitation today too! I didn't check until now but I got it at 2:09 PM EST!! I was first batch. Good luck everyone! 🙂 🙂
Edit: P.S. I'm OOS and also a reapplicant

7/8 was when it arrived the first time. I had to re-submit it though, it arrived 7/24 the second time.
I submitted my AADSAS on 6/13 and completed then mailed Penn's supplemental about a week after that..so around 6/20?

two in one day, congrats!
Thanks for the kind words! 👍
Just an FYI, interviews are conducted on Thurs or Fri. I scheduled mine for the end of September (the plane flight from cali to philly is no joke$$$). Sounded like they had plenty of openings still at the beginning of the month (good news for those of you who haven't received the email yet!). They offered me Fri the 13th at first...I'm not superstitious, but I didn't want to chance it 🙄

Hello! Interview 8/13, second batch. Cali resident.
I'd totally appreciate it if anyone can recommend a motel/hotel whose budget is fit for a poor college student!

Troyvdg! Congrats! And you're totally right... I'm looking at flights and these prices are not very nice 😱
Got an invite from penn this morning! App complete email received on 7/26
I received the app complete email on 7/30, so they must be getting close to my app. 🙂
Same here Dentistador. Hope we both get some good news soon!
I was second batch and haven't reviewed an invite... I really wanted a shot at UPENN!!
My friends got some already last week
I received mine last week!

Alright nice! Looking forward to getting mine
you interviewing the 13th? I might be interested, depending on how my flight itinerary works out.
Getting kind of nervous that I never received an "application complete" email... i got an email on 7/5 saying "penn dental application follow-up" stating they hadn't received my supplemental application or fee yet, but I sent it that day so I had assumed they received it but now I'm nervous. Anyone else not get an "application complete and under review" email?
I didn't get one, so I called them and they said my application is infact under review but that they just didn't send an e-mail. and then she said i can send you one right now though, so then i got the email
Got an interview invitation today! So pumped!
Received the "App complete" email from UPenn on 7/31

From what I noticed, everything in the brochure can also be found on Penn's website.
Alright, thank you.
Hey all,
I scanned my Confirmation form (that I received via snail mail) and sent it to the email listed, but haven't gotten a confirmation reply yet!
Have any of you received a response? (I'll probably call to double check on Tuesday since I'm about to book my flights/hotels!)

Congrats!
I don't know how the batch order works so here are the dates.
7/5/ AADSAS app mailed
7/11 follow up e-mail from UPenn since I had not completed the supp
8/6 complete application confirmed
9/3 Interview invitation
10/17 - 10/18 interview dates
in between 7/11 - 8/6, I called the office once and this lady named Elsee (sp?) picked up and she was really kind. let me know I could fax the supplemental because I was out of the country.

So I had a really drawn out application process...
AADSAS submitted early July,
Secondary wasn't in until early august, along with my DAT scores.
And my LoR was just sent in last week by my committee.
I know they don't usually update the AADSAS portal with your status, but I still hadn't gotten any confirmation email from them. I called and spoke to Elsie, and then she sent me my "App complete" email.
Is this too late? I keep hearing about people getting interviews already and I'm a little nervous.
