My application update on ADSAAS still says revieved/waiting additional info and i have submitted in August. I have emailed about it and not gotten a response yet. Anyone know if they just havent updated it yet or I am missing something. And if I am missing something, how can I find out what it is. Thank you.

Same. Mine says "Received/Waiting Additional Info" and I submitted the supplemental fee on July 11 and got the application complete email on July 12.

Same here as everyone else. I submitted and was verified in mid July.
 
on ADDSAS it shows verified but under decision status it still says none. Should I reach out to them with a letter of interest? I submitted end of august so that could be why

Most people said that a letter of interest/intent doesn't do much, if anything, at all. It's probably due to you submitting it in August. If your status hasn't changed by mid-October, you should probably send an email to ask.

I think UCLA has had this "issue" for a while now. If you check the other UCLA Dental SDN pages, people also asked about the status. I would check past threads for reassurance.
 
Did anyone receive an interview? If so, could you please share your stats 😀 (I saw the interview invite tracker get updated)
 
Applied mid September and still haven't received a secondary application.
 
Are they already sending interviews? Anyones application still say received/waiting additional information? I submitted payment a few weeks ago.
 
Have most people submitted 4 letters of rec? I just realized UCLA recommends 4 but I only submitted 3... 😕

Current D1 at UCLA here - don't stress if you haven't received an II yet. Historically they tend to send them last minute / very close to your interview date. For example, I got my II on October 5th and the interview was October 10th! They have interview dates scheduled through December so there is plenty of time! I know it can be nerve-wracking waiting with other schools sending out IIs as early as June, but just take it one day at a time!
 
Submitted June and still showing incomplete status; I have reached out to the contact and no response. Anyone in same boat? They won’t respond and they won’t tell you what’s missing. Not having this issue with any other school. Not sure if it has to do with the fee waiver request. Anybody receive any response back from Miss Benitez in admissions?

It’s weird bc I submitted my app and supplemental fee around mid august and my aadsas status changed to application complete today.
 
Check your aadsas mine just changed to complete. Does it still say incomplete? I submitted in August. Not sure what order they are going in.

Try calling
 
Submitted in June, however I know they weren’t processing fee waiver requests until August-perhaps that’s the delay. I will try calling. Anyone receive any interview notifications?
 
Does anybody know when they will be sending out information about their financial aid presentation? Thank you!
 
Weird, they said that weren't going to start calling until 9 am PST. Anybody else hear anything?
 
Anyone accepted willing to post stats? Congrats! Still hopeful for interview invite🙏 They took 4 months to process my application fee waiver so nervous! Submitted June 11 but UCLA did not mark complete till mid October🙁 wishing I didn’t apply for the fee waiver maybe it would’ve processed earlier.
 
Congrats to everyone who was accepted! Don't be discouraged if you are put on the waitlist; acceptances are sent even up to a couple of days before dental school starts. So excited to see some of you guys next fall 🙂 !
 
Did anyone get an email after getting the acceptance call? I still don't have anything and I don't remember from the phone call if they mentioned anything about it.

Anyone know if ucla prefers waitlist or post December interviews

During the Financial Aid presentation two weeks ago they said they were wrapping up interviews the next week. Not sure if they meant Pre-Dec or for good. So maybe they’re not doing post-Dec this year?
