Interview #5
School: UoP
URM/ORM? URM
Notification date: 8/27
Method of notification: Phone call then email
Residency: IS
Application complete date: 6/20
GPA (science, overall): 3.6,3.5
DAT (AA/TS/PAT/Reading/any section below a 17): 23/24/21/21/no
Method of interview: In-person

Was not a part of 3+3 program or 3+2 for those asking on reddit. Received the call this morning. Saw someone on reddit say they got the “active review” email on 7/29 and received their invite yesterday. Mine was under active review 7/30, so they are likely going down the list in chronological order. Good luck!

If I got an active review email on 7/19 does that mean they saw my app and I won’t be receiving an invite? 😭

Will be interviewing 9/19, does anyone have recommendations on cheaper places to stay around the school?

download the hoteltonight app. deals. here are some affordable, but decent hotels i've stayed near union square: hotel stratford, hotel nikko, the mosser hotel, handlery, other areas to consider: fisherman's wharf hotels, japantown, or lower nob hill.

People who got interviews, when was the latest available day to interview. Are they possibly done with their pre-December interviews?

uop has only sent out one round of interviews for the first week in october
they usually send out several, and even interview around the thanksgiving weekend
i am positive they are not done with pre-december interviews...

Last interview date possible on some form I had to fill out was december 12. Not sure if that means they’ve filled those spots though.

looks like in 2020, they interviewed just under 270, so likely more to come...

very limited days pre-december because there are october interview days for the international dental studies program and dental students have a break and exams. students are a part of their interview process. class will not be full come december, because there aren't many interview dates pre-december

What do you mean by "if anything"? Did they say the class would be mostly full by decision day?

 

[sad1232]

Is it worth sending a letter of continued interest or are they usually not receptive to them?

 

[powerplay1938]

No word out there on acceptances? any word if they’re still interviewing?

 

[macsak]
