How were y'all's experiences? Mine is scheduled for October

I got an email asking for a professional photo. Does anyone know if I have to be wearing a suit or could it be a business casual photo?

The picture I sent in I was just in a shirt and tie.

It was really good. They provided lunch, the students that we got to speak with were all super helpful and I felt they gave their honest opinions. The interviewers that I had were friendly and I did not feel stressed with their questions. Overall I had a really nice impression of the school and the faculty and staff that I met. Good luck with your interview!

Thanks, do you think a picture taken with my phone would be fine?

Thank you so much! Was it multiple short interviews with the faculty/students?

That’s what I did!

With faculty and someone from the admissions committee. 2 short interviews. They send out who you are interviewing with before hand.

Hey everyone, I was wondering when we will hear back from Utah in terms of acceptances/rejections. I was looking at the quick start guide they handed us, and remember them saying Dec 2nd during the interview. Is that just a typo or are they going to wait until after the generalized time table of starting their offers of Dec 1st.

That's what they said at my interview - Dec 2nd. I thought it was kind of interesting too!

 

[expialadocious]

For those who interviewed: does your portal still say invited for interview?

 

[dmd21]

Yep, mine does

 

[Boofy]

Anyone else nervous for Wednesday? I have seen some different things about how Utah sends out their acceptances? I've also heard they might do the 2nd? Anybody know anything about this?

I emailed them and I was told that acceptances will start on the 1st

 

[rcdental]

Anyone receive an email??

 

[Joesmoyo]

I was just waitlisted. Nothing talking about a ranked or unranked waitlist though like the past years… so idk what that means

 

[okss]

I was waitlisted too. just waitlist without ranked or unranked.

 

[dentistintraining1]

Accepted at 1:37 AM MST via email!

 

[cnutzz]

Does anyone know of a facebook or group me group for accepted?

 

[Innocent_bystander]

I was also waitlisted via email at 2:19AM. No mention of rank.

 

[mioemers]

I haven't but apparently someone did according to a facebook thread.

I was accepted and sent an email early in the morning

 

[expialadocious]

Do the accepted students have a groupchat or facebook group yet??

 

[dentistintraining1]

Denied my acceptance. Was a very hard decision but I hope that opens up a spot for someone on the waitlist!

Good luck! Were you instate? and where did you decide to attend?

 

[dentistintraining1]

Good luck! Were you instate? and where did you decide to attend?

Out of state! I will be attending either Michigan or Penn!

 

[Innocent_bystander]

Has anyone heard anything from the U?

 

[SavageDent]

Has anyone heard anything from the U?

I submitted a letter of intent and they told me they didn’t really expect the waitlist to move a ton as the class is full right now. It can always happen but I wouldn’t imagine a lot of in staters turning down offers

 

[Boofy]

Just rescinded my acceptance. Fantastic school, good luck to anyone who is waiting on a seat opening!

 

[Lilacsky888]

Does anyone know of a facebook or group me group for accepted?

I have the same question....

 

[expialadocious]

I have the same question....

yes there is a group me -you can ask alex for it, also withdrawing from my seat, wishing you all the best!

 

[Innocent_bystander]

Just got an email around 3pm saying the application cycle is closed. There is always a chance someone will drop out, but at this point the U is done this cycle.
