All I know is that I think out of states have the best chance at Texas A&M CoD than the other two and that the out of states that the school does choose are usually states without a dental school or are border states i.e. Alaska, Arkansas,
What kind of questions did SA ask? Anything you'd recommend to prep for it?
There should be a list of common interview question on SA's website. But the interview at SA is very relaxing, they really want to get to know who you are as a individual.
I would also like more information on this. I think you would just send it in as soon as grades are finalized
Just looked over at TMDSAS and there's not much to it. Just request a transcript when the semester is finished.
Thanks. I wish it were just at the end of the year so we don't have to request 2 transcripts -_-
From what I understand it is just one set of transcripts at the end of Decemeber. At the end of spring semester the cycle is basically over with so there'd be really no point.
It's relaxed, three faculty interview you! Schedule depends if you're morning or afternoon (8:30 is morning and 10ish is afternoon), basically morning has interviews then once afternoon come in you go to lunch together and then take tour together then afternoon has their interviews and morning group leaves.
In my opinion, I don't think the letter includes the hours but it's all up to the dentist. If you heard back from UTHSCSA I would think there is nothing wrong with it otherwise you wouldn't have heard back from them!
Talked to a few people who write rec letters and I don't think they record how many hours that each individual shadows in their office. I think if your LoR recorded the hours, the schools would have at least gotten back to you asking for an explanation on why there is a discrepancy, think you shouldn't worry, there have been a bunch of people on this forum that have only heard from one school with stats similar to yours (including myself)
Yea mate now it's time to dig in for dec. 1st and then on into the new year for January interviews...
San Antonio D school is full of veterans so they'll love you.
I hope so!!!
Goodluck!
I got the W's my sophomore year of college. I'm a traditional student and I'm a waiter. I have some leadership experience, but I definitely need to work on clinical experience. I'm planning on getting as much shadowing as I can manage between now and the end of the semester and sending emails to the schools saying what I've done since submitting my application, assuming I haven't received interviews by then. We'll see how it goes!
What is the day of your interview?
I submitted August 17 and it was complete when I submitted it, but it wasn't processed until September 25.
Okay, well that's a little later in the cycle. Here are some stats from TMDSAS: "The 50% of applicants that submitted their application by August received 75% of the interviews offered to the EY2017 class. Only 25% of applicants who submitted after August 1 were interviewed."
I've heard they're at midnight except last year Houston was at 8 AM
Dec.11th
Houston only sends out 50 acceptances on December first. A&M and SA send enough to fill up their class on the first.
Interesting. I guess SA may be a bust for me as I never did get an interview from them
Last year about 77 seats of UTSD filled by Dec 1st as I've been told.
Ehh there’s still some time.
soo... us post Dec interviews are just back up? Sad face...
No no. Not everyone accepts the offer on December first. Like if someone gets into all 3 schools they can only choose one, which frees up space at the other schools. Post Dec interviews aren’t the end of the world.
During my cycle I was in the second round of acceptances it came out January 11th for UTSD so you will probably have to put down a deposit elsewhere assuming they give you 30 days to do so.
2 cycles ago. But typically the next 2nd round comes right after the schools come back from Christmas break.
Heheee I know, I know!
