UoP School of Dentistry Class of 2024* Interview/Acceptance Thread

Turned down a spot today. Hard to justify the tuition. Hope somebody gets it who really wants it. Stan was incredible and one of my favorite people I've met at any school.

It seemed like those applicants received the email but just didn't fill out the questionnaire? Not completely sure though- that's just how I interpreted it !

So it doesn’t really matter if you fill it out or not?
 
How long are you guys making your responses to the questionnaire?

Some people said they received an interview without filling out the questionnaire from the email from that thread so Id say its totally up to you!

Could you also state when your application was verified?

hmm so you're saying it's just DAT and nothing else stands out in your application? when i interviewed they stressed wanting well-rounded students, good luck with your interview.

Well, definitely not that, but I guess I'm just acknowledging that my GPA is low.. As for the rest of my application, I would say it's pretty well-rounded actually - lotssss of leadership/community service, hobbies, strong rec letters, diverse studies in undergrad (bio + spanish + educ minor) etc. I would also say that I was pretty confident in my ps in terms of expressing my personality and journey to dentistry, but it wasn't ornate or super eloquent. The only weaknesses I would say are my GPA and shadowing hours (103) but I was hoping schools realized that I had only had one year to prep for dentistry after deciding to pursue it before I applied, and especially when Covid happened in March! Hope that explains my situation a bit better!

Does anyone know how likely it is to receive an acceptance once you receive an interview? Or I guess the percentage of interviewees that are offered acceptances?

Also, can anyone give me tips on the interview? I'd appreciate it!!
 
Would it be smart to send a letter of intent to the admissions office before an interview?

No, part of the interview is getting to know the school better. You can make a more informed decision after, making the LOI more valid.

What about letter of interest? From their generic emails, I feel the vibe about they do not want to receive any status update emails, etc..

At this point in time, (personally) I think it is okay to send one.
