Optional Prompt:
"If you recognize and/or represent a voice/community/entity that is missing or underrepresented in the dental profession, please use the space below to share your thoughts about how expanded representation might impact dentistry."

Is this prompt meant for underrepresented applicants only or everyone?

[Meowsers16]

Has anyone gotten an interview recently?

 

[sad1232]

Is it worth sending a letter of continued interest or are they usually not receptive to them?

 

[Boofy]

Is it worth sending a letter of continued interest or are they usually not receptive to them?

It never hurts to send one! Usually the admissions committee sends a large wave after the New Year so trust the process if you dont hear anything

 

[ashtonzode]

Edit: someone said on reddit that they got a call, so they have started calls

[ashtonzode]

not sure, but the last interview dates for this cycle i believe are jan 23/24

 

[any_ideal3445]

Heard theres been activity from umich, can anyone confirm with stats?

 

[Dr. Garfield]

Any recent interview invites?

 

[ashtonzode]

Any recent interview invites?

from what i saw on reddit, it seemed like some people got invites, but no one explicitly stated it (can claim it) here or on the interview mega thread either

 

[Parent]

My daughter received an interview invitation on January 17, and it is scheduled on January 29 and 30. 29th is an interview and 30th is a virtual tour. She said the e-mail shows it will be the last interview in this cycle, and 48 people will attend the virtual tour. I am not sure it means 48 people will be interviewed as well, though.

 

[ashtonzode]

was anyone put on the waitlist?

have you received any emails yet? i believe historically the first week of feb is when they give us their decisions

 

[avacado6]

was anyone put on the waitlist?

I interviewed in November and didn't hear anything in December, not even about being waitlisted. My aadsas still says something about interviewing. Wondering when I will hear from them

i interviewed in october, and from what i've seen in past sdn forums, they usually will give us some kind of a decision in the first week of feburary

 

[ashtonzode]

[nosi]

[idealdent]

[pepper42]

I believe so

 

[ashtonzode]

what's EOD do you assume, 5?

id assume so yes, but im not speaking with any hard facts

 

[pepper42]

didn’t they say we would receive at least a response today? I didn’t hear anything from them

 

[ashtonzode]

didn’t they say we would receive at least a response today? I didn’t hear anything from them

yup, its 5:16pm and no email, no aadsas change nothing

we might hear back on monday but who knows anything at this point, on the FLIP SIDE maybe they are going to accept more on monday and THEN send final decision emails???? (i am COPING)

Literally what my thought process too 😭 hoping that they just didn’t get a chance to get through all their acceptances today especially since they started calling later in the day

 

[idealdent]

At this point I’m just trying to cope myself to reapply next year lol

 

[ashtonzode]

At this point I’m just trying to cope myself to reapply next year lol

For those joining us next year, we’ve created a GroupMe and a Facebook group to connect, share resources, and get to know each other before school starts. Feel free to join:

📲 GroupMe: GroupMe - Join the group for UMich Class of 2029
📘 Facebook Group: Log into Facebook

I also want to take a moment to acknowledge those who may not have received the news they were hoping for today. If you were waitlisted or didn’t get in this cycle, this is not the end of your journey. Many successful dental students and dentists faced setbacks along the way but persevered. Keep pushing forward, stay committed, and know that your hard work will pay off.

If you need support or advice, feel free to reach out—you're not alone in this! 💙
