I was told that you must rewrite everything regardless if it's the same or not. You can still talk about the same topic I believe.

Who told you this? That sounds ridiculous. I would think that all you gotta do is change this and that lol

Reapplicants. They got accepted so I assumed they knew what they were talking about lol
When deans came to talk to us, they did say that they want to see improvement all over the application for reapplicants so I just assumed they meant the essays too lol

This video is a panel of admissions members comment that they would like to see everything new and rewritten because you should obviously have new experiences and new view on life now that you're reapplying.

Edit: either that video or the second part....
 
Is it too soon to inquire if anyone has received interview invitations yet? I noticed from last year's thread that this is around the time invitations for dental schools are sent out.
 
I noticed that, too! But many of those interviews were given to people who had their applications transmitted to schools by late June or earlier. My application was transmitted today so I don't expect to hear anything soon. When did your application get sent to the schools?
 
Looking at tmdsas last year, yes it looks like the invites started to go out this week. But, they didn't go out until Friday, and then every week on Friday invites went out. So, I think we should start seeing some invites go out today to those who applied early and had their apps transmitted by mid to late June. Here we go everybody! [emoji51][emoji120]

My application was sent out on 6/10 and I received confirmation emails from the schools between 6/12-6/22. My letters were not uploaded until 6/23 though.
Ahhh the waiting game...

My health advisor said you don't have to rewrite the whole thing but maybe change up a little bit or update it if you have new experiences.

SA's email said their interview season doesn't begin until September, typically interview invites don't come this far in advance do they?

Yeah I know the email I got said that too. Idk last year the invites started going out this last week and this coming week. I guess we'll just see what happens. Hurry up to wait [emoji17]

I think, at least for SA, invites went out earlier last year because interviews began in the beginning of August. I interviewed around August 6th back when I was applying.
This year we just moved into a new clinic and our DS1s are starting on July 27th instead of July 1st. If it is true that interviews are starting in September this year (I have not been told when they are starting), it probably has to do with the move and the late start for the DS1s. I would expect that interview invitations will be sent out later than in past years.
 
Got an interview invite from Baylor today as well. Curious when San Antonio sends out?
I will be seeing you there MolarBear11! Yours at 8:30 am?

Sorry to be a broken record, when was your application sent to the schools?

San Antonio seems to be last in line as far as processing stuff this year.

I submitted mine June 3rd but didn't take DAT until June 15th. They (Baylor) emailed me to fax DAT score, my DAT score wasn't processed by TMDSAS until July 1st.
