Members don't see this ad.

I agree...Perhaps a few of the 80 acceptances were from the Jan interview session and haven't been given out yet

I certainly hope so lol

There are around 70 students who have paid deposits so far!

Has anyone gotten off the waitlist?

Not that I’ve seen, from last years thread waitlist movement started near the end of February

I literally haven't received any news from Pitt since i submitted my app. Did you receive an interview from them before rejection? are you OOS?

 

[Alginate_]

No, I never received an interview. I submitted early August and was OOS. Feels bad man.

 

[Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo]

No, I never received an interview. I submitted early August and was OOS. Feels bad man.

awww i am sorry... hopefully you'll get more offers from other schools. cheer up!!!!

Does anyone know if there is another deposit date coming up soon for Pitt or how many people are usually on their waitlist? I'm trying to figure out when we're most likely to hear back.

I’m not sure, but I think March 1st is when applicants cannot have multiple deposits down anymore. We could see some movement then.

Emailed Jerry from admissions and received what has to amount to a de facto waitlisting: "I encourage you remain patient and I encourage you to trust the process as offers of acceptance are moving a little slower than in past cycles."... along with some additional strange mentions of "being on the radar" for a potential acceptance.
If only admins would shoot straight and avoid circuitous language, lol.

Whatever happened to their "radar"? Is the radar not working anymore? Did they send same email about "being on radar" to everyone?

I feel like it. My friend emailed them last month and I think she gets that exact email as everyone.

 

[bean6598]

I’m assuming no one has gotten off the waitlist yet?

 

[B_s]

I’m assuming no one has gotten off the waitlist yet?

I would expect movement at the end of Feb/beginning of March

 

[nontradsingerperson]

When I sent my letter of intent he said “you’re on my radar” “be patient trust the process” “things work out like they’re supposed to” like ok Jerry but I need to know whether to resign the lease on my apartment or not 😅

I admittedly had a similar conversation with Jerry back in December, including things like "you're on my radar for an acceptance" and "we are still making calls through the week so keep an ear out" and "I remember precisely who you are, which is a really good thing, I hope you know that" then I got a big old waitlist (lollllll) so admittedly while those things sound nice, I don't think they mean a thing. The reality--no matter how fluffy they make it sound--is that if you weren't accepted in their first round, you're their second or third or fourth choice. I declined my waitlist spot, I hope it goes to someone who really wants to go to Pitt and who Pitt really wants; even if I were to get in there later and it would be cheaper in the long haul, I know I don't have the capital to forfeit another deposit and tbh, I would rather be somewhere where I feel the school really wants me there. So I am very, very happy to be attending Penn in the fall

Congratulations. I think anyone who sent emails to them, they send same blanket response about "being on the radar" without even checking scores/stats or application. I can't imagine that they have 300+ people on their radar. So you are right, those things sound nice, but they don't mean anything.

Congratulations on Penn acceptance - it's a great program from what I have heard and from people who have graduated from there.

 

[2020Teeth]

anyone else coming here daily to check for updates?

 

[bean6598]

Ahh! Do you know if they took the acceptance?

 

[ss78]

[futuredds223]

Sent my letter declining the acceptance. Good luck everyone!

 

[Dental_school2021]

Sent my letter declining the acceptance. Good luck everyone!

Curious when you’re deadline was to put down a deposit so I can gauge when there might possibly be more waitlist movement? Thank you!

I interviewed early Oct, so I put down the deposit not long after that.

 

[futuredds223]

when is the last date you have to notify them that you committed to another school?

Depends, its dif for everyone depending on your interview/acceptance dates

 

[Dental_school2021]

Has anyone heard of any recent waitlist movement?

 

[bean6598]

Nope Received an update (that i am still on their waitlist) earlier this month and nothing....

Same

 

[bean6598]

I have no idea but I haven’t heard of any waitlist movement in a few weeks so maybe

 

[bean6598]

sad... they accepted someone off the waitlist in June in 2019 application cycle...lol

Wow 😳 I really don’t want to wait until June that’s crazy

 

[B_s]

I have no idea but I haven’t heard of any waitlist movement in a few weeks so maybe

A few people have joined our groupme since I got off the waitlist in March. However I don’t know if they were waitlisted or not
