14 reading, 3.4 gpa, 18 AA and 21 science should I apply

14 reading, 3.4 gpa, 18 AA and 21 science should I apply

the 14RC is a little concerning and may get you screened out from programs that have 16-17 subscore minimums. I would reach out to the school to make sure they'd consider your application first before paying the fees. You may want to consider a DAT retake.

 

[Dentistaa2025]

Thank you, I got 17 in RC my second attempt I am not sure if they will consider it

 

[Ryxndek]

Thank you, I got 17 in RC my second attempt I am not sure if they will consider it

Most schools consider only your most recent attempt, so if you improved it to a 17RC that’s better.

Is it normal to not hear anything back from UNLV yet? This is my first time applying. I submitted my application about a month ago and haven't even received any confirmation email saying they've received my information or to pay for any supplemental fees.

There’s a supplemental fee that you have to find on their website.

Received an email to set up the MyUNLV account. I did that but there is no information on MyUNLV other than my name, it says there are no active applications. I was wondering if that was how everyones MyUNLV page was, or do you see other information there? Just not sure if there is a problem.

That is what mine looks like as well and I was questioning the same thing about if there was an issue.

Do any of you know what's group interviews be like in UNLV? It said faculty group interview on the schedule. I don't know if this is going to be only with faculty or with other candidates as well.

I received kira in Jan last cycle and was invited to their on campus visit in Feb so it’s not over.

Does anyone know if taking Physics 2 online is acceptable for UNLV?

 

[Wlswpdbs]

All prerequisite must be in-person, I think

 

[vkaoe01s]

Has anyone heard anything yet from UNLV for acceptances? I’m so anxious!

 

[pleeplyploo]

Im pretty sure people have been getting there invites few hours ago. Few posts on reddit, and discord.

 

[godawgs2003]

are they still sending out acceptances?

 

[lemmesleep]

if we haven't heard back from a pre-dec interview, does that mean we are waitlisted? I'm not sure if they'd reach out through email to tell us that. just hoping it's not a rejection...
