Received a big packet in the mail today from Penn Dental, any insight on what this might be? I am currently away at school and this was sent to my home address. Any insight what it may be?

I got a package with their brochure and a thank you letter for applying. It probably is that.
 
Does anyone know when's Penn's first interview date? I checked facebook group and someone got it on Oct. 4. Also does anyone know how many more interview dates there will be pre-Dec.?
 
I got my interview invite a few days ago! However, my packet was sent to my school address and I wont be back on campus for a few days since we start after Labor Day. Can anyone give me a brief idea of what the interview process is like since that information was not provided in the email. Thank you!

The packet has a lot of hotel fliers and a schedule for the day. There is also a form to confirm your interview date and to make a lunch selection. You have to send that form in order for penn to know you are coming.
 
for those who applied and received your interview invitations, what does your status say on the aadsas portal? if it says received/application complete with no invitations, does it mean a rejection :'(?
 
Received an interview invite via email this afternoon. Yesterday I noticed my AADSAS portal changed from application complete to under review and has not changed since.

Under Review! 1st rejections occurred last year on Nov. 27, 2017 (not sure about status on portal), but you’ll get it as a formal letter in mail rather than email. Don’t lose hope yet!

I don't think so. Your application may not be in review yet.

Others can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think your status will change to "under review" when that happens.
 
Just received an interview invite...super stoked!!!

My email said that they have openings on Thursdays and Fridays. I'm not sure if those are the only days they do interviews, or if the other days are full already.

Hi everyone, congrats on interviews and good luck to everyone! I called to schedule a date for my interview, but never received a confirmation email or anything. Is this okay? Did anyone get a confirmation email after calling?

Just wanna make sure its safe to go ahead and schedule my flights

I wouldn't worry, I haven't gotten my packet in the mail yet! I don't think there is a confirmation email after calling.

My application for Penn was complete on 8/2. My aadsas status switched to "under review" two days ago. I haven't heard anything back yet. Is there any hope for me getting an interview. Should I assume getting a rejection letter in November 🙁?
 
Did anyone receive an Interview confirmation? I was told it would come in the mail? I called last week to schedule it.

My app was complete on 7/15, and I still haven't heard anything. This is my dream school, but this was the one school I applied to without the expectation of being accepted.

There is no interview confirmation until after you've submitted the form that comes in the mail packet via email or fax. Just wait patiently if you still haven't gotten the packet if you're invited because it took them a while for me to get it!
