Has anyone stayed with a student host for their VCU interview?
 
how did everyone get the interview request? Was it through email or regular mail? I have not recieved a rejection yet so I guess I am still in the mix!!!!!
 
They update your AADSAS status to "invited for interview", then you get some secondary app stuff in the mail. No email though.

Good luck!
 
They got my stuff, seems like a month ago, haven't heard a peep.

OOS.

Didn't you guys get invites from a bunch of other schools? How high up is VCU on your list of dental school choices? I'm pretty sure you guys are out-of-state as well.

As an in-stater I have to say I love VCU (crummy city, awesome vibe @ d-school)... Am hoping for a Spring invite, being so late in the cycle and all. You guys would love it-- I mean hate it! Here's to hoping ya'll get accepted to many, many other d-schools not in Va. 😉 Just kidding, and good luck. 🙂

Aznboi pm me if you have questions, I've visited the d-school as many times as humanly possible and may be able to answer some things. 🙂

I only applied to 5 schools. Only completed applications for 3 of those. And sent in my secondary stuff/fee late to 2 of those 3. VCU is one of those 2. To be shamefully honest I only focused on my first choice/state school this year because I am trying out applying without a degree a year early.
 
What's this rumor about Dr. Healy sending an email on Dec. 1st about acceptances? Anyone else know about this and can tell us if it's true or not? AHHHHH, I'm getting so nervous!
 
During the interview, I remember him telling us to check 7 am on Monday the 3rd. Though I've had some dental students tell me that your status will go blank on AADSAS a few days before you are accepted. Don't know how valid that is though.

GOOD LUCK!
 
He said 8 or 9am on Monday at my interview but he wasn't entirely sure. I'm planning on sleeping in as long as possible to check just to make sure, haha. And your status will be changed to something like "Offer Made".

Yeah I remember him telling us Monday morning too. BUT I've also heard from other dental students that their portals went blank as well, oh gosh lol. I guess we'll find out.
 
My status just got updated telling me to check back on the 3rd for more information...
 
Mine did as well...Seems to be happening for other schools as well
 
mine changed as well! I wonder if it actually means anything
 
from last years class i'm pretty sure the people who got an offer dec. 1 had their status go blank or change to something else, idk which but it switched from "invited to interview" so i think it is a good sign. Mine still says invited to interview though so i'm alittle bummed, guess we'll see soon!

Mine neither :-( I hope they're not done updating AADSAS for the week yet!
 
Apparently, a lot of people who were already rejected at other schools got a similar change in status. Made me a little anxious, but every school is different and we won't know for sure until Monday.

Whatever the case, hope we all hear good news from VCU soon!
 
Have an interview comin up on monday the 3rd and am looking for lodging, any suggestions?

I tried contacting a few students who are willing to host but they all seemed busy/out of town 🙁
 
"Offer Made!" I'm in!!!!! Check your AADSAS mobile. It updated faster than the regular site.
 
My VCU status still says Invited For Interview. What does this mean?
 
Offer Made as well!! :biglove: Congrats you guys!!!
 
Man I'm bummed I didn't check mobile before they took everything down!!!

Question for everyone who got accepted - was your portal status the "check back on dec. 3" or "invited for interview" still?

Congratulations to everyone who got accepted!

Ah that sucks! Mine was changed to check back on dec. 3rd as of like Thursday! Good Luck :xf:
 
Accepted! VCU is my number one so maybe I'll see some of you in the fall! Good luck everyone!
 
"Offer Made" :hello:
See ya'll there in August!😀
 
I'm in and definitely going...VCU was the only school I applied to! See you guys next year!:banana:
 
Offer Made! See you guys there in August! Anyone started a facebook group yet...?
 
Aaahhh, it's so good to see the official acceptance message!!! I'm OOS, but VCU is my top choice (went to college at VT).
 
Do any of you guys know how we will know if we're waitlisted? My status still says "invited for interview" so I'm hopeful for a post-January acceptance!
 
Offer made, and I got a letter in the mail! Love having the evidence in hard copy.

At my interview, Dr. Healy said if you didn't hear anything on Dec. 3rd, you wouldn't hear back until Feb. 1st. Then at that point I think you'll either get an acceptance via AADSAS/snail mail or you could possibly hear about the waitlist from then on. I believe he said he would make phone calls about the waitlist

Good Luck!
 
Thanks! I guess I'll put down my deposit for my #2 and then start the waiting game all over again.
 
Anyone here from out of state? Just curious if its possible to switch residency after the first year to pay lower tuition.

I've been REALLY looking into this all week and stressing out over it haha. Apparently, it's near impossible to claim in-state residency for education purposes but I talked to an OOS undergraduate here who was able to get in-state rates.

I went to undergrad in the state and graduated last spring (paid OOS rates all four years), but I'm currently still in VA for my gap year. Gonna start figuring out who to talk to next week about any chance of claiming in-state status next year, so I'll let you know if I hear any news that might help you out!
 
I'm oos as well. Iasked the question at my interview and they said you have to prove that your going to live in VA after graduation? As in getting a VA drivers license or something. I'm not sure how easy/hard all that is but it would definitely be nice to pay instate starting 2nd year!!

Here's what's written in the state legislature: http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+23-7.4

Getting a driver's license is listed there somewhere, and so is a bunch of other things that can be done. But I don't know if all that would be enough to have them believe you're not just here for education.
