Received confirmation that Iowa received app yesterday (6/1), submitted 5/31
 
Can I wait until 6/5 after I speak with my advisor to submit my application for Iowa? Will I still be considered early? I could submit it today even, but I want to make sure my supplemental are well-written.

Admissions can be weird, and interviews aren't guaranteed, even with high stats. Try to not compare yourself to your friends, your II's for some schools will come through eventually!

Iowa can be picky about their interviews as well, it's nothing to do with you

could it just be they haven’t reviewed it yet?
 
is applying to Iowa on 6/20 considered late?
 
Can someone please explain the numbers in the first post, it says 82 OOS and 53 IS accepted, but class size is 80. Are those offers?

Correct, schools will usually accept more students than what the total class size is.

They can’t, however, accept more students than the class size at any given time. Once candidates turn their seats down then they will go and accept more students, until their class is full.

So for CO2024, they accepted around 142 students to fill a class of 82.

Is it worth applying to Iowa at this point on time? Or has the majority of their interview spots been given away?

If you’d attend given an interview/acceptance then it may still be worth a shot. But they prefer applicants that apply in June. Get your submission in ASAP to be considered for admission to Iowa

It's still so early in the cycle! Don't give up yet ... lots of people get interviews after the first decision day. I have a couple friends that are at their top choice schools right now that didn't get interview invites until after January!

To those who interviewed already, did your status change from "Invited for interview" to "Received/under review"?

lol, welcome to dental admissions!

It can be frustrating, just try to not let it get into your head. Last cycle I’d get similar emails from other schools thinking it was an invitation and it was just something else.
