Congrats!! When did you receive an email to complete the supplemental? I submitted 6/4 and haven’t heard anything from UAB, I figured it’s because I am an OOS applicant and their website says they have to review apps before sending supplementals to their OOS applicants!

[Ozempic-]

Just wanted to ease some anxiety for people who may not have received a call or email today. I am a current student at UAB and many of my classmates (including myself) did not receive a call/email on the initial acceptance day. I feel like most heard something by March, but some got accepted all the way into June. I don’t check this site much anymore, but if you have any questions, let me know.

[BigBaller24]

Hello everyone,

Congratulations to those who have been accepted, and best wishes to those still waiting to hear back. I graduated from UAB School of Dentistry in 2023 and currently practice in Birmingham.

I’m renting out my condo, which is just a 4-minute walk from the dental school. It’s located in the Bristol Southside Condos, a fantastic area where many residents are medical, dental, or nursing students. The unit is a fully renovated one-bedroom condo. I lived there throughout my four years of dental school and truly appreciated the convenience of walking home between classes or for lunch. Additionally, Publix, Starbucks, Chipotle, and several other great options are also just a short walk away, all in a safe and vibrant neighborhood.

I’d love to help out a new student and am happy to work out a great deal for anyone interested. Feel free to reach out if you’d like more details!

Also, if you have any questions about dental school, I’m happy to help. Having graduated recently, I remember exactly what the journey is like and would be glad to offer advice or insights.

 

[dentalatbama]

Accepted off the waitlist 1/10 via call and email.
