They usually take a little longer in the cycle to start vamping up. I’m a first year here, I’d you have any other questions feel free to reach out.

Has anyone received an interview invite via email only or do they only call for an invitation?

 

[Kenshen]

I just received an interview invite! They first tried to call me and I missed it. Later I got an email to sign up for times.

[FutureDDS2027]

Any interview invite this week?

 

[SavageDent]

UPenn dental school specific page with lots of relevant data/info.

University of Pennsylvania

Dental schools- University of Pennsylvania

www.path32.com

UPenn is the ONLY school that hasn't released how much Federal Student Loans their students take out. They have been shady about this for 2 straight years.

I am sure relieved that university of the pacific doesn’t do that

 

[KISAAAAAAAAAAAA]

Any updates on interview invites?

Is this true?

 

[todentornottodent]

Is this true?

Yeah, but there are still many interview days post-december!

 

[planisphere]

Yeah, but there are still many interview days post-december!

Hopefully it sucks that I have to rely on the seats that accepted potentially relinquish.

 

[Luckypredent]

Hopefully it sucks that I have to rely on the seats that accepted potentially relinquish.

A lot of schools dont fill their seats in December. Because its not fair for post December interviewees.

 

[SavageDent]

Hopefully it sucks that I have to rely on the seats that accepted potentially relinquish.

They don’t offer all 150 spots before December, UOP usually takes a little longer to interview and fill their class because they receive so many applications and because they have a bigger class to fill than many other programs. I interviewed post December and was accepted last cycle

 

[todentornottodent]

What do y'all think about the argument that UoP's tuition isn't that bad because you get an extra year of earning potential? Instead of spending money on tuition for D4, you're making money during that 4th year and that kind of can be seen as a discounting of tuition. I like the argument but it seems like there could be something I'm overlooking.
