That is really amazing. Congratulations and good luck for your interview 🙂
 
Hello guys, I got an invitation too.
You will laughed if I tell you that my toefl score is lower than yours. I have many many many years of experience overseas and in the US. Don't ask me my age. Lol.
I think we all share a common denominator, our passion for dentistry; however, we have to find our unique feature that will make stand out from the rest. Good luck to all of us!!!

Guys, not having part 2 is a drawback for UPenn? I graduated my MPH from JohnsHopkins in 2012 and been working since then. Shadowed few dentists but have not given any letter of evaluations from them. GPA 3.56. Will I have chance?

When is your interview date?? They said in website the interview will be in June and August so I am wondering how many interview days available, and why no interview on July. Thanks

Congratulations, that was so fast. When did you get your completion email? The speed you got iv was even faster than some others' completion emails.
You must be super outstanding.
How about your other stats? something like GPA, NBDE, US experiences?

Congrats to all of you who got the interview. Cachita08, do you mind sharing your stats please? Thanks
 
Sine the person who applied on June 1st has already got the interview, may be there is no hope left for whom who submitted the application before June 1st.
 
Did anybody called them up and find out what's status of their interview invitation. I am afraid to call any program because when I called UMN they sent me rejection email next day!

Hello all, I emailed UPENN admissions two weeks ago and was told that my application is under review. I applied mid April. I was also told to be patient since they are reviewing large number of applications. Technically speaking, their website states interviews to be conducted from June through Spetemeber so I think it is kind of early to say it's too late.
I agree with mengboo though, the person who got completion and interview emails within a week is just amazing but unheard of. Let's keep our hopes up and continue to share any new information with the group.
 
Got interview invitation today. (I got completed application email on June 6th)

The email said they are sending interview packet to my address. My question is should I wait for the interview packet before schedule the interview? Are there any important information I should know in the packet before scheduling it. Thank you.

I guess they started sending invitations in may last week and people are still reporting invitations so let's be hopefully.

The main concern is they send interview on a rolling basis. The persons who get interview in this thread are those who finished their submission recently. Does anybody know what they are looking for on re-applicants?

Congrats in your iv! When will be the interview?
 
I emailed Sharon with UPENN admissions today asking about my application. She replied saying I will receive a decision regarding my application soon. I guess it implies rejection. Can't tell you guys how disappointed I am now!!!!
