I am checking my UOP dental school portal for last few weeks and its constantly on hold because its "waiting on DAT scores" My DAT was already processed my ADEA like 3 weeks ago and most schools have started to recieve me app...was just wondering is anyone in same boat for UOP or is it just me.

 

[devz4lf]

UoP takes a while to update statuses. They updated that they got my DAT scores 2 weeks after aadsas sent them out. Give it some time.

 

[Double Bonded]

Nope, call them and ask if they've got your scores. The people at the admissions office are really helpful and nice.

My application has been "waiting for review" since August 1st. Hmm...

Right there with you... mine has said that since 7/27...

 

[lululime]

Mine hasn't budged either. Maybe they'll start in September. Let's be hopeful! =)

 

[tmirchel]

I have been the same "waiting for review". They will probably change that once they review it and call for interviews or send rejections.

I think I do remember hearing something about UOP taking a bit longer to process apps than other schools since they pretty much offer interviews only to people they will accept.

after the waiting for review update.

it changes to something like wait 7-8 weeks for re-review. everyone seems to get this even those who get interviews.

I forgot what the accepted and rejection update says. I'm sure if you search at UOP thread someone is bound to say it.

they have other updates too like on hold and what not. Its pretty straightforward.

Rejections are usually emailed in April and May. Those that are most likely going to be rejected have their status changed to "Re-review in January" or something along those lines.

However, there are a few students that do receive post-Dec. interviews even after receiving the re-review notice.

So the order goes like this: 1. Waiting for Review 2. Under review, alllow 7-8 weeks". If you happen to be lucky, you receive a call for interview. If not, expect the re-review in Jan status update.

 

[Darce101]

If I remember correctly, interview phone calls started early Sept. last year.

ahh help!

in my AADSAS application I indicated that I was planning on retaking hte DAT in october after my 3 month waiting period. That was when I submitted my app and thought I would be able to retake it but now I'm not so sure I'll be able to but my UOP status says that its on HOLD and its "waiting for NEW DAT scores"

ahhh they won't even loook at my file 🙁
should I call them and ask them to go ahead and review it without the new dat scores?

I didn't know indicating that would harm me. Now I'm scared other schools will not review me as well until they have my new scores in october. I called AADSAS and they told me to put I was planning to retake it even if I was just consdierign it... ahh 🙁

did this happen to anyone else??

Isn't it a good thing that your file is on hold, rather than getting rejected based on your current DAT scores? UoP is giving you the opportunity to take it again! You can do it. Just study hard!

 

[dantemac]

I have heard they don't start giving out interviews until Sept. as well. We should all be patient...little hobby of mine right now :/

ahh thanks so much! Yea i didn't know how to look at it, whether it was a good or bad thing. Good: it might mean they are actually considering me and want to see if I can do better or bad because that means they won't even look at my file until late october after most interviews have probably been handed out, so I prob woudlnt get an interview (if any) till post dec =/

but nonetheless, time to study hard! thanks again 🙂

I'm learning a lot of patience this summer. I really should have taken some summer classes or something to get my mind off of waiting for interview invites, lol.

Hahaha so true. It's taking me a LOT of will power to not refresh my email every 5 seconds...

You really do want them to wait to review it... if you have a 18 or lower in any subject you need to retake if you even want a fighting chance.... if you think your scores are good enough to review now go ahead and give kathy or janelle in admissions a call... waiting for review really isnt the end of the world, if you are retaking in october, actually retake in october... dont fall into the sick cycle of rescheduling, especially once you get to november your interview chances dwindle greatly.

go study (but dont let your academics fall in the process) and rock the pat 🙂

^ ooh nooo 🙁 I got a 17 in one section 🙁 but all my other sections are higher than an 18. I'm scared to retake it and have some of my scores on subjects like ochem (21) and RC (20) fall so I'm still torn. I just called them today and they said they haven't even reviewed any files yet so my file on hold isnt necessarily a good thing where they reviewed it already and kind of liked me and wanted to see if i could do better 🙁 It's just simply on hold because its considered incomplete because I was indicating I would retake the test so they won't review it till they have the new scores. & they siad they start offering interviews in sept. ahhh i dunno what to do, i dont wanna be at a disadvantage 🙁

If you told them you are re-taking it on your application, shouldn't you just...re-take it?

 

[boohoo123]

well it's just a "planned" retake not set in stone and they said to just call them and let them know if I'm not so there wont be a hold on my file

 

[dantemac]

It sounds like you need to decide on a re-take and let them know. They haven't started looking at apps yet (apparently), but when they do, you don't want a hold on your app!

Mine changed to "Allow 7 to 8 weeks for Review" today. I was curious, what does it say in the UOP portal for people with interviews?

 

[JoeMama]

Mine changed to "Allow 7 to 8 weeks for Review" today. I was curious, what does it say in the UOP portal for people with interviews?

It says "Interview"

 

[dantemac]

For people with uop interviews: How long after the "7-8 weeks for review" status did you get the phone call? I want to know if I got one, like, tomorrow.

 

[ddslove789]

Mine changed to "Allow 7 to 8 weeks for Review" today. I was curious, what does it say in the UOP portal for people with interviews?

Mine was also changed to that today... to those that have interviews already, how long between when this was changed until when you got your phone calls?

 

[Parle G]

Also have the "allow 7 to 8 weeks for review" update.

 

[amalgamgrillz]

For those who got an interview, did you get the email about "now being under active review by the executive admissions committee"?

 

[KenKim]

For those who got an interview, did you get the email about "now being under active review by the executive admissions committee"?

yea i had the same question

 

[Nezura]

just got an email about being in "active review" as well.....

 

[sfdent1]

No, i got an interview yesterday, but did not receive an e-mail about active review! Im sure that just means they have started giving out interviews or something and are continuing to look..

Good luck🙂)

 

[FLOSS UR TEETH]

i guess the consensus is that you have to have some sort of "tie" with UOP plus solid scores in every section on the DAT to get an interview according to the link double bonded posted....

I REALLY hope this is not the case, but that is what ppl are saying.. my status also changed to "under 7-8 week review"

I have said tie and got nada. My brother graduated from UoP a year ago... I just talked and he said they may be going in alphabetical order and he also said a lot of people are in state at first. If you look at predents of people with interviews at UOP right now all are from Cal but one. Sure its only 5 people but its plausible.

I was close. old man, memory kinda flaky. plus I got rejected so try to I blocked it out. 😀

I hope they are going by alphabetical order, it would mean that this "W" still has a chance

 

[mc719]

I wonder what criteria they go by cause your profile seems incredible. I figured I had as good a shot as anyone for getting a phone call because I have a pretty strong app too. My last name starts with a c and I haven't gotten a call. Maybe they save the best for last 🙂.. haha.

lol looks like u got an interview.. my consensus still stands

 

[mc719]

That might explain why these invites are so unpredictable. Has anyone received an interview who doesn't have some kind of tie there? I was thinking about visiting the campus over the summer, but then I figured it probably wouldn't make that much of a difference or be worth the flight out. I might be kicking myself for that decision if I don't get a phone call.

 

[RemiLunaDDS]

just got an email about being in "active review" as well.....

My status was updated on their site on 8/30 with "Interview." I never received any emails notifying me of a status change.
