Your thoughts please...

My DAT scores are 19/20/19, should I send in my $75 to UOP? From what you all have said, it sounds as if they only want 20 and up.

Most of you have seen my other stuff though my posts (ECs, GPA, Research, ect). So, what would you do if you were me (Besides suicide)?

I realize that it can only increase my chances of getting in, but money (as you all know) is tight right now.

Thanks,

I think you definitely have a chance there, and its only 75$. It's up to you and how much you care about that 75$ and UOP. (Don't forget that you already paid AADSAS to send your material to UOP)
 
don't be a cheapskate, send the money like the rest of us...how else would dental schools get rich if it weren't for us
 
Send it in, and do it soon. Interview slots are filling up fast.
 
Well, that was quick and easy! Thanks guys!

I say send in the $. Who knows what will happen.

But, having said that, I will say my scores are 20/20/21 and a GPA of 3.5 (science 3.4) Bio-Chem major from UC Berkeley and I haven't heard from them. (July application submission). This isn't to deter you from sending in the $, but just, "keep'n it real" on your chances.


Good luck!
 
Their interview spots are filled through January right now and with a 22/23/22 I still haven't heard from them. Just to give you an idea of how competitive it is this year. Go for it? Sure! There's nothing to lose but $75.

Just out of curiosity... why are you asking this question when the interview thread says that you already scored an interview at UOP? Clearly one of these is false... which one and why?
 
I Wish I Could Have Told All Of You Before Application Submission, That Attending Uop's Presim Lab Is The Back Door Ticket To Getting In. It Proves To The School How Commited You Are Of Attending Your School. Keep The Hope Alive, Their Running A Little Late On Their Interviews.

I took the Pre-dental course at UOP and really showed a lot of interest in the school but have heard nothing back. I thought with my DAT scores and taking that course I'd have an interview by now but I still have hope.

I made mistake on the post... I deleted it, but alas things had already moved on. I did the best I could.
 
nobody is going to get into uop this year. they raised the bar and now nobody qualifies. i guess they will just have to suffer the consequences of having 0 students in their incoming class next year. hahaha. what fools.

They didn't raise the bar, we did (the applicants).

I'll send you 10% royalties for the rest of your life! No more dental school foshizzle, Pdizzle. Or how does just ol' "Dizzle" sound? I think the "P" is getting between you and your fans.

I'm truly sorry, TimR, to inform you that UoP told me they will only be accepting people over 5'2".

Hmm...I don't get it. I'm sure it was your attempt at some sort of sarcasm. Try again.

Uh....nope. Maybe once more. Type slower.
 
apparently P-dizzle doesn't joke around about predental stuff. this is serious business. He raised the bar, give him some credit.

hey, it's just plain "Dizzle" now....for the fans.

Just "Dizzle" doesn't really encapsulate what I'm all about. You need the "P". I'm sure my #1 fan, VBV for short, will agree.

Yeah. I don't know what you have to do this year to get Pacific to look at you but apparently I didn't do it 'cause I'm like y'all and I ain't heard jack.
 
stop being so negative. I was on the same boat as all of you. I have an interview next monday and will ask dr yarborough, dean of admissions whats the real deal 😎
 
you're the man.
 
Thanks, we'd really appreciate it.

He was at my school last week and did confirm that they are booked for interviews up through January. He said that he would expect that they are in the 21-25 DAT range for interviews now, but there are certain cases like "people with connections" getting interviews with slightly lower numbers. Those cases would be children of alumni, etc. Either way, he said that they have about 90 interviews scheduled and normally they have a 2/3 rate of students accepting them. With the level of competition this year I think more people will hold on to those acceptances so they have filled more than 60 spots so far.

I really really want to go there but the earliest I'm going to hear from them sounds like February and I will have paid $1,000 to a school to hold my spot by then. You gotta do what you gotta do, but of course that's a non-refundable $1,000.

Hopefully Dr. Yarborough gives you some good news to share with all of us.
 
I just spoke to Dr. Yarbarough last nighit but he couldn't really tell me much about my situation. He was impressed with my DAT scores and said I should just keep calling the admissions office. Of course I have been doing that for months and they must be sick of me already! Oh well, I'll keep on trying. Its good to hear they still have spots available because at this time last year most of the interview slots were already full.
 
Holy friggen crap!!!! Someone give me a woot woot becuase I just got the call.

UoP here I come! That's right baby. *does a little dance*

OK, now for the fine print. It's on Jan 23rd and they warned me that it's probably considered as an "alternate" position. That's ok by me. I'm willing to let it all ride on the interview if it needs to as usually (and Arizona was a big exception) interviews go well for me.

I hope you all get "the call" and if anyone goes down the same time, let me know!

Congrats! 👍

I'm still waiting for "the call"... I wonder if it'll ever come 😳
