Yeah does anyone know? I never sent in the secondary because of money and they keep sending me emails about it. I wonder if its automated?? I dont want to waste money this late in the game if they are done with OOS interviews

Im OOS applicant. I dont think they are done sending out OOS interview invites. The only thing I know is that they are done with the invites for this month but They will be sending more in January.
 
I found out yesterday night that I got an interview offer so I called today but no one picked up my phone (maybe b/c it's sat today..?? 0.0).
I left a voice message but I am wondering if I can get an interview in December..
Or am I getting Jan interview b/c the interview spots in Dec are all filled up?? as anhchi said??
 
I know it's not the time for worrying about this thin, but just wondering...
Do you guys know when they are offering D5 program? Feb 1st??
 
My guess is that they'll start offering spots for D.5 after they have filled up their D1 class
 
Congratulations to all those who received an acceptance, and I look forward to meeting those of you who plan on matriculating next fall.

To those of you who have not heard back yet from VCU or any other school - I was in the same boat almost exactly a year ago, and I am here now. It is a shallow consolation, but try to not let it bother you until the fat lady sings in March/April, whenever it is that the decision must be made.
 
Does anyone know if they have sent out rejections yet? Im still waiting to hear back from them. Am I still under review ?
 
I interviewed last year in late March. They had interviews in the weeks before me. D5 wasn't extended for another month after that. They will let you know a few weeks after the interview if you are accepted as true student OR if you are in one of the 10 spots left for D5. They don't tell you where you rank on the D5 list. They make the final offers to the late interviewees and when its all said and done they end up with say 6 spots left in the class. They reserve spots in the overall class for D5 kids. So if the class is 90 and 84 regular spots get filled then 6 spots will then open up for D5.

They then call the D5 list kids in a row as they are ranked on their internal ranking sheet and they tell you to be prepared to tell them if you will accept the D5 spot right there when they call you. If you dont say yes they move onto the next person. Usually 7-8 student on the 10 person D5 list make it in every year.

BUT there is a new Dean this year so who knows!
 
For those who have interviewed, when did the interview conclude? I'm just trying to plan my return flight. Thanks in advance!
 
Has anybody heard back or have gotten accepted since Dec 2nd? For those that interviewed after Dec 2nd - did they mention when the next batch of acceptance letters will be sent out? Good luck to all that have interviewed!

In the past the 2nd batch has been sent out feb 1. No one hears between dec and then according to Dr. Gottlieb.
 
Interviewed earlier this month and was really impressed. Hope I have the opportunity to enroll! Good luck to everyone.

FYI- I inquired as to when I would know if I'm accepted and Dr. Gottlieb indicated Feb. 1st (which is a Saturday?).

Yes, I believe so. When I interviewed there early in December, she told our group the exact same thing. Hope we will good news on Feb 1st!
 
If I remember accurately, I believe that today's was the last one. Please correct me if I am wrong.

This is from the VCU website:
The VCU School of Dentistry interview process begins mid-September and runs through the following February. There is a break for the holidays from the second week of December until the first week in January. Details about the interview day will be given to those who are invited to interview.
 
You may have been right. The only dates they gave me to interview were up to the 21st. Perhaps later dates were already filed. Thanks for clarifying though!
 
Does anyone know the vcu email so I can send them my updated Dat scores?
 
I interviewed at near to the last interview last year and it was in March. So there is time. But, there is a new dean so maybe a new schedule.
 
anyone know the date of notice for those of us with a post-December interview?
 
Just got an interview invitation yesterday (Sunday), which I thought was strange. They confirmed though that next week is their last week of interviews.
 
If you dont mind me asking what are your DAT scores and who told you that next week is the last week of interviews?

Not that high. Both AA and TS were 19. The lady I scheduled the interview with said that after I asked about later dates.
 
Thats not too low. Their average DAT score is 20 and about 3.7 GPA. I also got 19 and haven't heard anything yet. What is your GPA?
 
Just called out of curiosity, and VCU said that they have not given out all of their scholarships for the entering class. They've given out some, but not all of them. And they would send you something in the mail. (Not that I'm expecting one or anything) But just something I was wondering about
