Just got an interview invite from UNLV today. I'm posting this thread, so we can all post our questions and concerns regarding UNLV and their interview process.
Good Luck👍

 

[baliztiknsg]

[Brit585]

got mine today too, I scheduled it for Oct 15. Does anyone know what hotels are close to stay at?

 

[nze82]

Hey! I know it's possible to fax stuff via e-mail. But I don't know how?!
Could anyone tell me how I could fax the confirmation to UNLV using my email?

Thanks for the link. But most of these are paid services. I'm looking for something free. I found a free service, but the service has a very limited coverage area.

 

[baliztiknsg]

can't you go to like kinkos or some office store and have them fax it for you? Not sure if that makes sense but I swear I heard that somewhere haha, good luck!

My interview is Oct 15

Awww. You made a joke! Good for you...😀
I'm just lazy to get out of the freakin' house!! It's way tooooo hot here, and I simply don't wanna get far away from the AC. But I'll definitely give your statement a second thought and see if it's gonna make any sense to me! haha

P.S. Good luck with your interview!

Oct 8th here! If anyone else decided to schedule an appointment on this date please let me know so we can meet up and check out the area VEGAS STYLE!!!

Did you guys get the email confirmation from the school after fax?
I sent the fax yesterday (9/9/2009), but I didn't the confirmation yet.
I will meet you, baliztiknsg at there.
I'm from Pleasanton, CA.

 

[thenextdentist]

I had to call the school to make sure they got my fax. I never got a confirmation email.

Well, if your fax is sent out properly, then you should get a confirmation printout right after you're done. I don't think they'll send any confirmation emails.

If you have a capable printer/faxer/scanner/copier (one of those all in one machines), you can actually send an email and they will recieve it as a fax through the fax machine on the recieving end. a prompt will appear asking for the fax number where you want to send your email.

Thanks! I just went to Office Depot and faxed it.

October 8th here as well😀
I had my Case interview today. Will post in feedback after I am home (stuck in Denver waiting for lay over flight🙁)

 

[nze82]

For those of you who have their interviews on Oct 8th, I'm probably gonna drive down there. So, I have a car. Let me know if you guys wanna hang out and check out the campus the day before the interview.

 

[Zubnaya Feya]

I will be flying in the day before sometime in early afternoon. So I am open to suggestions 😀

 

[ohdearhopeipass]

hey, just got an invite today, will schedule tomorrow. but in the mean time, do you know how late they will schedule up to?

Likewise, I live here, so if you guys need some sort of transportation, give me a jingle if a bunch of you all want to go and hang out 😀 I'm driving an MDX, so i can fit like 7.

 

[orangutan777]

just scheduled for Oct 15. For those of you driving from LA area, are you guys leaving the day before or the night before and where are you guys staying?

 

[fsddsms]

Im scheduled for OCt 15th too just called in right now. I'm from LA also and probably going to bring some friends and maybe make it a vegas weekend lol. Maybe leave the day before ... get some rest ... interview next day (OCT 15th = thursday) ... then either stay till friday or saturday maybe. Hard part is finding a good hotel. Let me know though if anyone would like to hang out.

 

[Zubnaya Feya]

Where is everyone staying? I am trying to find a convenient hotel near campus. Also, what is the best way to get around in LV? I'll be flying in...

Im not too sure. I was there like literally 3 weeks ago and it wasnt as bad in traffic as it used to be years ago. Driving was necessary though. Cabs can get expensive but they run all over the place, especially the strip. Hopefully I can get some casino time in to maybe win some money to cut all these interview costs.

Painful. I really don't want to rent a car..
what about hotels? I looked on hotels.com and Stratosphere (lol, I stayed there once) is pretty close (1.5 miles) and pretty cheap (30$ per night).

what???!!! 30$!! when was this? it would be a pretty sweet deal if several of us got together and hung out the day before. rides don't seem to be a problem since i and several others will be driving in to LV.

hotels.com, I just searched for hotels on the strip. There are cheaper places there actually (I saw a hotel for 9$ per night haha)

 

[The Anhedonia]

got mine today too, I scheduled it for Oct 15. Does anyone know what hotels are close to stay at?

i live in las vegas, so perhaps i could offer some suggestions:

it depends on what you want to do. do you plan on just going to the interview? then stay at the Palace Station, it's like 1.5 miles away, and it should be inexpensive. stratosphere is the next closest, and it's actually on the strip

do you want to see vegas, do "the vegas thing"? then maybe one of the strip hotels (Venetian, Wynn, Ti, etc. it boils down to price at that point).

 

[fsddsms]

Hey guys so ... do you just print out the lower section of the UNLV interview invitation email where it says

UNLV SCHOOL OF DENTAL MEDICINE ​

​

Interview Day Confirmation​

and fax the filled out bottom portion from then on after calling?

I don't think that's such a good idea. Isn't UNLV located in a crappy neighborhood? Hotels on the strip shouldn't be that expensive either, during this time of the year.
If you're gonna be there on Oct 8th, let me know and I can give you a ride to the school and back to your hotel (PM me!). I'm gonna leave LA on the 7th (hopefully sometime in the morning), so I should be there around 2-3PM.

 

[iwannabadentist]

just scheduled for oct 15th!

 

[fsddsms]

gratz u and I have the same date. did you fax the bottom portion of the email to them?

 

[flying rider]

Just got UNLV invite! Scheduled for Sept 24... anyone else on that date?

 

[The Anhedonia]

um, no that's not entirely true.

the school is in a sketchy neighborhood, but there aren't hotels or anything next to the school.

the strip isn't cheap. you pay a premium for the location.

you best bet for a deal (and proximity to the school) is the stratosphere.

rent a car too, you'll want the autonomy 🙂

I have another interview on Oct 5th, thinking of scheduling my interview on Oct 8th but the timing for two schools are too close. I'm afraid if I can have a good preparation for it since I am working fulltime and taking a night class. I was thinking of scheduling on Oct 22nd since it will give me more time to read about the school and prepare for the interview but I think the sooner you interview the better chance you have. Which would be better? I need some advices. Thanks

I think you should be fine. Shouldnt it not take more than like a day to review the website and interview feedback section and jot some notes down? You should be ok I think.

 

[dtran95]

I received interview invitation yesterday, called them today and schedule on Nov 5th. Is it kinda late since there will be 25 students/each interview and only 77 seats available?

 

[biggestGREEN]

hey just set an interview for oct 29. neone else going in that day?

 

[Sublimize23]

Mine is on Nov 5th too, it was the earliest one they had and I just got the email last night. I'll be flying in from Virginia.

 

[omgdats]

are we supposed to get an confirmation email before and then fax that? or fax them using the "form" from the invite email?

I used the form on the email and fax them. Then I give them a call and they said I confirmed.

Umm I have to disagree.
You can find VERY CHEAP hotels on the strip depending on what time of the year you go to Vegas. And these are good hotels like Planet Hollywood, Luxor, etc that offer you relatively cheap prices for the room so that they can empty your pockets in their casinos. I'm surprised you live in Vegas and you don't know this.

I called them and asked about this.
NO CONFIRMATION EMAIL WILL BE SENT!

LATE?!
These are some of the earliest interviews they have offered. Relax! You're not late.

 

[Gbrando2]

I am! I got an in-state invite on 9/1 and could have picked any date, but the 29th worked best for me. As long as your pre-Dec, I think everyone has an equal chance of acceptance, regardless of interview date.

 

[usernamedentist]

What cycle did everybody who got an interview turn their application in?
