I heard from someone in another thread saying that since schools are considering switching to in-person interview mode, that's the reason why they are delayed. not sure if it's true or not but I'll take that to make myself feel better lol

when did you submit your supplemental app?
 
how is your mail out date later than your supplemental date lol
Oh whoops, I copied the template incorrectly. The complete date was early Sept, but mail out date was in June
 
Does anybody know how Touro views letters of interest? Are they frowned upon or encouraged? I have been ghosted from them since I submitted my application. Wondering if a letter of interest is a good idea for getting their attention.
 
Hello dental applicants! If you receive (or already received) acceptance notification today, CONGRATULATIONS! Here is the facebook group for University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine C/O 2026 -- if you plan to enroll, or if you are accepted but have some decisions to make, feel free to join this group where you can interact with your peers and/or current students.


You MUST answer the question regarding who called you to be let into the group. A few have requested to get in but did not answer; I've DM'ed these folks, but they haven't seen the message (filtered message). Please make sure you answer that question.

If you haven't or do not hear back today, DO NOT FRET!!! Not hearing on 12/1 does NOT mean that you are not going to get into dental school. Getting rejections from some schools on 12/1 or waitlists does NOT mean you are not going to get into dental school. Many, many people hear back WELL after 12/1. Take a deep breath, and remember this is a marathon, not a sprint. You've got this!

Does Penn call in alphabetical order?
 
Does Penn call in alphabetical order?
Historically, yes. However, we have a new admissions team this year, so they may or may not be calling in alphabetical order. I was told that they will be making calls today and all day tomorrow as well at least, so don't fret if you don't hear back by EOD today! Sounds like they *just* started making calls today.

What are the chances of being accepted with a post-December interview?
 
Do you find out if you got accepted with scholarship at the time of call or when you receive the acceptance packet in the mail
