For those who were accepted, did you receive notification by mail yet? In the acceptance email it stated that we should be getting the same files by mail, but I have not received them yet.
 
Congrats! What are your extracurriculars and hours of volunteering/shadowing/dental experience?
Thanks! 🙂 I was really worried I wouldn't get in because of my below average GPA and DAT, but I guess they liked my experiences. I did tons of volunteering/research in college, and I've been dental assisting since I graduated in June.

I got the waitlist email on Dec 1st and really did not expect anything until January. Did anyone else get an acceptance? What if they made a mistake?! haha

If you are worried that they made a mistake, I'd call! They are pretty responsive and quick. One more question (may be dumb, but gotta confirm fam). After receiving the waitlist email, did you submit the post-interviewee paper as well? Arigato yo~

Lol that was supposed a joke! I submitted the deposit and everything, it just seems weird that no one else on the forum happened to post anything. Yes, I submitted the post-interview contact form right away. I literally only applied to USC this cycle and freaked out when I was put on the waitlist. Seems like there will be a lot of movement though - I wish you guys the best of luck. This is my second cycle applying, I got rejected without an interview last cycle but that only made me strengthen my application even more. Don't give up, you guys got this!

They said the first installment needs to be submitted 30 days for those accepted between Dec 1st and January 31st. Maybe they're moving people from the waitlist already? I don't know.. but I'm not complaining! Ugh good luck, I wish you the best!! Hopefully I'll see you in the fall!

Why would you only apply to one school...?
 
is there a facebook group?

Hi Everyone! I am the Class President for USC DDS Class of 2021 and I created a Facebook Group for the Class of 2022. This will serve as a hub for you to meet your fellow classmates, as well as upperclassman, and ask any questions you have before orientation starts on August 20, 2018! The group is "USC School of Dentistry DDS Class of 2022". Looking forward to meeting all of you!

USC only sends out about 40% of the acceptance letters in December. I didn't get my acceptance letter until April and many of my classmates didn't get letters until May or June, so there is still plenty of time to hear from them 🙂

when did you apply and had an interview?
Were you on the waitlist first or got accepted right after your interview?
 
I applied REALLY late (January) and got interviewed mid February, got accepted about 6 weeks later (no waitlist)
Do you know how late the school interviews til, based on some of your classmates who got in very late?
 
I'm debating between USC and another school. Are there any current students at Ostrow who would be willing to answer a couple questions about their experience at the school? Please message me if you are! Thanks!
 
Just got an interview!!! for End of january (31st) or february!! Can anyone tell me what the interview is like!? DREAM SCHOOL RIGHT HEREEEE!
 
Just received an interview invite today at 12:12pm (EST). Interview options are late Jan thru end of Feb.

I also just received an interview invitation today (1/11) for every Wednesday from 1/31-2/22! Does anyone have insight on the interview? People told me it's a group interview with PBL-style scenerios. How do you prepare for these?
