studying at home????? 😉
what are your stats if you don't mind me asking? I can't speak for SA and Baylor but what I've heard from my school (UTDB), competition is fierce this year....
Hopefully see you all on the other side.
Hey Txlonghorn! Uconn was great!! Have you heard from them yet? And yes, Dr. Thibodeau did have the 3 hr talk which was very informative. He also emphasized their extremely demanding curriculum..sigh...lol There were 8 of us there and we were split into 2 groups. I was in the group that interviewed with two women, one of whom was an endodontist. The other group was interviewed by a woman and man. I also spoke with Dr. Thibodeau after the interview in regards to a mishap that had occured with my transcript and he assured me that at this point, classes/grades were not a big issue. He was very conversational/jovial/funny and really a great man all around. Overall, interview was very conversational.They are definetely more flexible in terms of the applicants they accept-I met a first year who was an art major. I felt like a lot more of the students there were leaning towards GPR/AEGD's or specialties though. Um...what else...the student guide emphasized that dental students do get hands on experience in gross anatomy, so we shouldnt be worried about med students taking over our turf lol While the school isnt in an urban area at all, I really liked the serene, peaceful setting, it may help with focus when handling those classes...Dr. Thibodeau had a summary of all the interviewees' gpa/scores, etc...and my interviewers definetely knew my application, although I couldnt tell if they had my grades or not, lol. I'm sure you'll hear back soon!!
To make sure we are on the same page, I was referring to the competition among the applicants for incoming class. I wouldnt be surprised if the average GPA and DAT scores go up again for the class of 2011.
