Anyone got waitlisted/ rejected?

 

[m_tooth14]

Does anyone know if they send rejections? or when?

 

[2thDoc11]

Status still says “in review” but I hvnt been invited to interview.. just hoping it’s good news until you hear something back.. I wanna write a letter but don’t want to jump the gun

 

[Firik]

Does anyone know if they send rejections? or when?

To my knowledge, they pretty much won't until they send out rejections to everyone at once anytime after the end of February.
I hope things get better for you guys!

Anyone hear about an interview for January or February yet this week?

Havnt heard anything, have you?

 

[mah25]

Nope, patiently waiting :/ Just trying to be positive because I know they are interviewing through February and are probably getting ready to go on break right now so I am hoping we might hear start of January!

Does anyone know if pre-December interviewees still have a shot at acceptance after decision day? I couldn’t find much on previous years’ threads😔

As far as I know, no news is good news because that means we still have a chance.

 

[m_bakes]

also one more question😅for those who were accepted (which congratulations btw!!), did your status change on AADSAS or the umn portal? Or does it still say invited for interview?

 

[dk986]

My status changed from "invited for interview" to "offer made" on AADSAS

Hi! Congrats on the invite! Do you mind sharing when you submitted your app and did your status on AADSAS change to under review? Also when is your interview for?

Thanks! I applied really late. Like my application was verified the first week of august but I only applied to UMN on November 2nd (I also didn’t have my DAT scores by then). My dat scores were verified on 12/14 and then I received an interview invite on Friday.My interview is January 11th

Ahhh okay, thanks! Did your status on AADSAS change from app complete to under review?

 

[Hardcore99]

Yeah it did!

 

[dk986]

Has anyone received an official acceptance letter packet from the school?

 

[Happy2349]

Anyone got waitlisted here? I never heard back anything from them after my interview!

 

[FutureDDS4]

Anyone know of a Facebook group for incoming students?

 

[2thDoc11]

Just got an interview!! any advice would be appreciated!

 

[2thDoc11]

Hi! I'm a current dental student at UMNSOD. I would suggest sending a letter of intent if you don't receive an acceptance on or shortly after decision day (Dec 15th this year, I think?). If you feel you have a strong resume and did well during your interview, I wouldn't say that you should send one prior to then. Others may disagree, but that's just my opinion. If you choose to send a letter of intent, make sure you state why you want to attend the U of MN. Our school values research and community service, do you? If so, highlight that! Learn about the work being done here, what does our school have that you find so attractive that other schools may not have? Consider these things prior to writing a letter of intent. Good luck!

Can i pm you?

 

[dentalpls]

Congratulations / good luck everyone! I made my final decision and put down my UMN tuition deposit today

That’s exciting! Any advice for the interview?

 

[Biggytooth]

Can i pm you?

Yeah. I don't use SDN that much, do I have to enable something or can you just send the message?

 

[2thDoc11]

Yeah. I don't use SDN that much, do I have to enable something or can you just send the message?

Yea I believe so.. or you can maybe try to pm to get it started.. but it doesn’t give me that option for you

 

[dentalpls]

That’s exciting! Any advice for the interview?

Prepare for situational questions (i.e. tell me about a time when you ...), and I know its hard but try to relax! They know you're smart they just want to see that you're also personable

haha will do! I’ve had 5 interviews so far and one 1 of those were “tell me when/hypotheticals” and it was my worst interview.. I love the conversation interviews where we literally just talk.. but I’ve come up with different experiences to discuss for different questions so as long as I remember those I should be good!

 

[Hardcore99]

Does anybody know roughly how many interviews they send out?

 

[mah25]

[2thDoc11]

Did you ever end up sending them a letter of interest?

[FutureDDS4]

[fclh]

Can you message me? it's not giving me the option to message you! i have a question

 

[Mnhopeful]

Does anybody know roughly how many interviews they send out?

Also wondering this and if anyone knows if chances of acceptance for in state are still good with a post-Dec interview

 

[mah25]

I don't know much but I do know they don't fill all of their seats on December 15th! And looking at previous threads it does look like IS students have gotten accepted with a post-Dec interview so I would think there is still a good chance!

 

[ahgase7]

Does anybody know when is the last date for interview for this cycle?

 

[mah25]

Does anybody know when is the last date for interview for this cycle?

I just got an invite yesterday and the email said they are continuing interviews as late as February and March!

 

[Happy2349]

Anyone else here not being accepted nor waitlisted? I called and they said I am still under review and they haven’t decided. I interviewed back in September!

 

[m_bakes]

I’m in the same boat, I interviewed in November!

 

[m_bakes]

Does anyone have an idea when they’ll send out the next round of acceptances? Based off past cycles it was around this time but I don’t know if it will be the same this year given decision day was pushed back two weeks🤔

 

[2thDoc11]

31st

 

[32thtoothangel]

I gave up my seat a few days ago. best of luck to those on the waitlist

Does anyone know why Minnesota’s tuition increases every year from D1 to D4? I find the OOS tuition super high compared to other schools so wasn’t sure if theres a reason for it

The "usual!": inflation, increase expenditure, increase professors/instructors' salary, and decrease revenue from the clinic. To my knowledge, they are planning to keep the increase at a minimal with 2% increase for the next few years due to Covid. Consider student loans decreased by almost 2%, such as Grad Plus from 6.08% to 4.3%, thus actually no tuition increase! But yeah, it's temporary.
