Anyone else working on this? Part II asks for an essay about...anything? Does anyone have an idea what to write about?

 

[dentalstudent15]

I have no idea, I also got the secondary application, when is your interview?

 

[gatorPredent]

Did you guys just get secondarys? Interview dates with it? When are first interviews....late August? hopefully they are waiting on my DAT and then i will hear!

I got the email from them saying that continuing review of my app is on hold until I take my DAT...I am so jealous of the people already getting interviews! 😛

 

[sugarsting]

Mine didn't come with an interview 😛

 

[Ryltar]

I have an interview on July 28th. I'm a bit worried though, because I'm grouped with one applicant with stats a bit less than mine and one applicant with high stats (dentalstudent15)

 

[gatorPredent]

Im jealous of you guys with interviews as well. Interviews are individual and so i wouldnt worry about other stats. if your getting an interview they must be interested.

 

[Ryltar]

I suppose you're right, but I'm still a bit worried nonetheless 🙂

When did you guys find out about the supplemental app? Did you recently get emailed? I have not heard from them yet and was just wondering...I take my DAT in 2 weeks...maybe that's why I haven't heard from them at all?

 

[Ryltar]

Yes, the link to the supplemental app comes via email.

AADSAS mailed 7/2, email confirmation from UF 7/13, request for formal app 7/17

For those who have interviews, did you already fill out the Sup App? What topic did you write about for the essay? Or do they ask some people to interview before the Sup App and some after???

Are any of you out-of-state?

There are probably more people interviewing than the 2 others on predents.com

So dont worry

I'm interviewing with UF on the 28th, but I am still working on the Part II essay...I am ready to be done with the essays but have so many more to go!!!

I haven't taken my DAT yet so I'm not even on the radar, but just curious, what are the essay questions about?

So..what topic are you writing about?

 

[Ryltar]

@Sugarstring- I'm going to mail out the Supplemental App Part II tomorrow. I would suggest writing your essay about something that would best complete the application so that the committee can see the whole picture better. What you should write about will be different for each applicant. Also, I think this essay should be personal, as the purpose of it is probably for them to get to better know you.

 

[Leebo]

Any out-of-staters?

 

[Matt2010]

Victoria and biomajorpredent:

I am a non-traditional student; therefore, I will probably write my essay from that angle. Good luck to everyone!

 

[BiomajorPreDent]

I havent heard anything from UF yet...I hope I get a supplemental soon..it wud suck to not even make the cut..lol

Thank you for answering my question 😉

Do you think it's lame to write about how I've grown as a person over undergrad?

I haven't taken my DAT yet so I'm not even on the radar, but just curious, what are the essay questions about?

It's one essay question. It says "Tell us more about yourself"...you can write about anything, which makes it that much harder!

 

[gatorPredent]

so anyone care to share what they are writing about for this secondary? I was thinking of focusing in on one experience but not sure....its so broad.
Those who have had UF interviews....howd it go?

 

[Leebo]

Has anyone that has returned their secondary heard anything back yet?
