yup waitlist email just came in

When did u interview?

 

[ahgase7]

Just got waitlist email too.

 

[pearlywhites_77]

How fast does the waitlist move?

 

[Laki123]

got waitlist 🙂 and 🙁

 

[pearlywhites_77]

How many people are on the waitlist?

 

[Laki123]

Quite a few I hear from previous years. More like 400 or so

 

[pearlywhites_77]

Are any of you planning on withdrawing?

 

[Leahjoos]

Are any of you planning on withdrawing?

I am, I got accepted at my state school so good luck to you guys

 

[igoymtns]

Hi everyone, I will not be accepting their offer so I hope this whittles down the list to allow other candidates to move through the process faster!!

 

[notatoothfairy]

My portal changed to waitlisted but I haven’t received an email yet, should I be worried?

 

[Laki123]

Does UDM send acceptances to more than 120 their class size anticipating many not taking up their acceptance

 

[ahgase7]

Does UDM send acceptances to more than 120 their class size anticipating many not taking up their acceptance

Yes. I think that’s how many schools do. They send out more acceptances than the class size to assume that students may have multiple acceptance and withdraw from their program

 

[Laki123]

Just wondering if my waitlist is much meaningful ... to start applying to Masters or Post Bacc
Anyone know how many acceptances went out in excess of 120 or in previous years

 

[jojobs]

Waitlisted again. I love how they say small pool but its more like 500 people

 

[nsudental]

I got rejected from UDM. I need someone who can help me ace the interview next time? Who is willing to help me out! I am trying to overcome this hurdle.

 

[GoToHolmes]

Wailisted but will be declining the wailist. Good luck everyone

 

[BackToothQueen]

Does UDM send acceptances to more than 120 their class size anticipating many not taking up their acceptance

Yes Dr. Chang stated they initially accept 260 people

 

[Predent_828459]

Not a good sign for us on the waitlist if they accept roughly 120 more people than their class size

Means we have to wait for 120 people to decline to start see people come off the wait list :/

 

[jojobs]

Means we have to wait for 120 people to decline to start see people come off the wait list :/

Worse is theres another interview dsy in january

 

[Laki123]

🙁

 

[ahgase7]

I heard that UDM tends to clear 80-90% of their waitlist every year though. It's due to either students decline their offers or withdrawal from the waitlist, so there is still hope 🙂

 

[Happy2349]

People who are waitlisted, did you guys received an email from UDM? On aadsas I am waitlisted but never received any email regarding that! I feel like I am not receiving emails from schools anymore due to the google shutdown! I checked spam already.

This is super encouraging so do you have any recollection of where you heard this?

 

[ahgase7]

yeah there is possible that you got affected by that Google incidence. Don't worry. You can always email the office to let they know about your situation.

 

[ahgase7]

This is super encouraging so do you have any recollection of where you heard this?

I believe I saw a post in SDN of previous cycles mentioned about it and heard from a friend of mine too.

 

[Laki123]

That means like 220 accepted do not eventually go there ?

 

[pearlywhites_77]

That means like 220 accepted do not eventually go there ?

I think it’ll move quicker this cycle as well because based on the Facebook group, many people got into multiple schools so they have to make a decision and then withdraw from other schools. Also, some of us may hear from other schools before hearing from UDM, so we would also withdraw. Gotta keep our fingers crossed!

 

[hoperichards]

Waitlisted, but I will be withdrawing my application since I’ve realized this is not the school for me. Good luck to everyone in earning a spot! I’m sure there will be a lot of movement from now until September. 😊

 

[jojobs]

Anybody else get messaged by someone asking about our stats and ethnicity for udm on sdn but they wont answer your questions

 

[Laki123]

Guess everything will be quiet till January ?

 

[pearlywhites_77]

Guess everything will be quiet till January ?

I think most schools are on Winter break now, so we won’t hear much.

 

[drjhbs]

I was just offered an interview! I know it's not an acceptance yet, but I'm stoked because I have a lower end GPA and submitted pretty late. The only interview date option I had was 1/23.

This might be a stupid question but is the interview time they listed in their time zone? I just want to make sure I'm not 3 hours late because I'm in CA!

 

[deleted829492]

I also got an interview, it's my first one! I submited my app on 06/16, but I didn't take my DAT until Dec 1st, lol.

Super excited and grateful for this opportunity. @osMOLARity=D is my spouse and he got accepted there earlier!

i’m from CA it’s 3 hours ahead! if ur interview is at 12 it’s 9 our time so make sure not to pick a super early time.

Okay, thanks what I thought but just wanted to make sure! Thank you so much!

 

[drjhbs]

probably EST. congrats! when did you apply?

I sent in my app for verification on 9/21 but didn’t take my DAT until late-November. I submitted my supplemental fee and photo last week and I got the email that my app was complete literally a few days ago!

 

[drjhbs]

is the Jan 23 interviews only for a position of the waitlist? Or have you or someone you know been accepted right after a post-Dec interview?

 

[thatfutureDDS]

@drjhbs when I emailed them, they told me it’s only an interview for waitlist, but something is better than nothing.

Oh, I guess that makes sense but I can’t help being a little disappointed now haha
