Oh man I hope so! I faxed them my scores on monday but haven't heard jack! I'm actually kind of nervous about it... I was hoping to hear from Baylor when they sent out their next round of invites...

Dude, congrats! I didn't know you got an interview at Baylor! That's awesome, you didn't interview there last year did you?

No I didn't have interview at Baylor last year. Just I had one interview very late at SA. I am hoping to hear from them before Dec first. about Houston I don't know a lot, but it seems they are not Danny289 friendly at all. 😛
just be patient my friend I am sure you will hear from schools very soon, just prepare yourself for interviews. Good luck !

Ah I just hope you're right. I just remember last year someone got an interview invite from Baylor like 3 days after faxing the DAT scores.

Good luck at your Baylor interview, I know you've worked hard for this!
 
Committee letter is taking so long. I emailed my advisor, he hopes it will be ready by next week. 😴
 
Guys, don't forget to give your feedback on the Interview Feedback site!! =D I'm getting nervous for my interviews.

Tell me about it. I have about a month left, and I'm pretty much freakin out. Haha
 
Haven't heard from UTDB? This is because we had just finished with orientation for DS1s and had our White Coat Ceremony today... Frankly, they were just busy taking care of us 😛 J/K 😀... But yeah, UTDB is just slower than other 2 TX dental schools so just bare with the adcoms. 🙂

A couple days ago, Dr. Pierpont, Associate Dean of UTDB (you guys will get to see him later), mentioned to us that interviews have been booked to end of September so I think you guys should receive the interview invitations very soon.

Best of luck to all! 🙂

About how long did it take before some of you received interview offers from SA and houston? They've been reviewing my file for over two weeks now. I'd just like a general timeframe.

I think mine went well. Just don't be nervous. Everyone was really nice. My faculty interviewer was super nice too. We basically just talked like in a normal conversation. I feel like I asked her more questions than she asked me. lol And we talked about the current problems in dentistry for the most part.

Totally agree! It was an awesome environment really. The Interview was really laid back, and not as hardcore as I was expecting.
 
hey guys,

glad to hear yalls interviews went well.

i still havent heard from baylor, and i'm kinda nervous that i'm not getting emails. should i email the schools and ask for a status update? i'd hate to have not gotten an email.

Baylor didn't e-mail me, instead I got an interview invite through snail mail 8/10/09---(letter dated 5 days after I submitted through TMDSAS). The envelope was so thin, I thought it was rejection letter. This was my reaction: :scared:-->:laugh:
 
Anyone having a UT Houston interview this coming monday (24th)?? =P
 
YAYYY. i can finally join you guys. i got my first interview at baylor for sept 25th!! i was surprised cause i never got a confirmation saying thanks for sending me your stuff, please wait for an invite type of letter. and i also emailed sa and houston yesterday to see my status.

Congrs! and good luck 👍
 
I'm curious for the people receiving interviews, when did you take your DAT? And are you receiving invites through email or snail mail? I know lizzie mentioned Baylor invited her by mail, but what about Houston or San Antonio?

Congrats by the way!

Houston sends their "application complete" email... not sure about the interview invite (I am assuming it would be through email as well)

San Antonio does confirmation emails that they have received your info and then send you an interview invite through email.

I don't think that's too many. I applied to 8 out-of-state as well in addition to the 3 in Texas. (NYU, Boston, Pacific, Nova, ASDOH, Temple, UMDNJ, Louisville) Good luck!

Good luck on your SA interview tomorrow!! Let us know how it goes 🙂
 
so it's been almost 3 weeks since I received the "we are reviewing your app" email from SA and Houston. However, I haven't heard anything from them since. Baylor responded back after 8 or 9 days.

Is it time to start worrying?
 
goodluck everyone.

i applied to 11 schoools, hopefully one will take me!

nyu is my top choice, followed my umdnj

edit: i would ReALLY love to go to columbia, but i need to stay realistic. =(...but u never know.
 
San Antonio

September 21!!!!!!!!😍😍😍

Same here. I'm beginning to worry :/
 
Hey guys, I was really nervous/scared/excited going in to the SA interview. But everyone (staff/dr. capelli/people who serve you fooood/D4 students) were really very very sweet and accommodating. The only nerve racking part was WAITING for the interview because it is in the afternoon.
930-12: You are in a room with 14 other interviewees -- and dr capelli and others go over general info, financial stuff and curriculum
12-1245: lunch. yay, super yummy - gourmet style
1245-145: two interviews. One with D4 student, one with a faculty
145-230: tour/wrapup/essay

Okay, so... I found the MATERIAL on the interview feedback site helpful... but I like to have the questions on hands when I want to practice them. SOOO, I copy pasted a bunch of them (as far as 2006 interview inputs).
So enjoy preparing for them 🙂... I would say, the interviewers onlly asked a nice 5% of the chunk. Interview is VERY VERY laid back, more like a conversation like many previous interviewees said...

Why should we pick YOU?
. .How do you handle constructive criticism?
. .Why not medicine?
. .TELL ME about yourself.
. .Why Dentistry?
. .How are you a people's person?
. .Why San Antonio?
. .What are your study habits?
. .your strengths and weaknesses?
. .How could you treat someone who had 8 cavities but I couldn't afford to fill all 8...what would I do?
. .What is your best trait?
..What questions do you have for us?
. .What do you bring to the incoming class?
. .What shadowing experience do you have?
. .What do you bring to dentistry?
. .Where do you see yourself in 5-10 years?
. .Why did you choose your undergraduate college?
. .What kind og research have you done?
. .What ethical dilemma have you encountered and how did you handle it?
. .KNOW YOUR PERSONAL STATEMENT AND APPLICATION
. .Federally funded healthcare - would that work or not?
how would it affect dentists?
. .Tell me about your experience at University of ____ ?
. .How is your volunteering going?
. .What is your greatest achievement?
. .What procedures have you seen?
. .Have you ever considered teaching?
. .What obligations does a dentist have?
. .Why would you think you would be a good dentist?
. .Have you ever considered research?
. .Your major is not biology -- how will that prepare you?
. .A student to getting C's.. how would you handle that change?
. .You have applied to many out of state schools - why?
. .Why dentistry over medicine?
BE PREPARED TO ASK THEM QUESTIONS!



Good luck and cross your fingers I hear back from baylor and houston soon!! =D
 
Interview on Sep. 25th at Baylor! So. Freaking. Excited!!!!
 
I'm kinda in the same boat, I got interviews to SA and Houston but none from Baylor and that's my first choice. I'm starting to get worried.

If you don't mind sharing, when did SA and Houston receive your app and when did they send you the confirmation email that they were reviewing them?
 
have you guys noticed that the ones that have gotten interviews at baylor havent heard back from houston or sa- or atleast danny, alan, and myself. whereas the ones that have received interviews with houston or sa havent heard from baylor!? weird huh.

hey alan- we have our interview the same day!
 
Can houston interviewees please share the dates yall received the email saying "Application Received"... and when yall received ur interviews.
