Has anyone received an email with the supplemental application and fee information yet? I submitted my AADSAS application on June 1, and it was verified on June 2. However, UPenn is one of the two schools I have not yet received an email from, so I wanted to check and make sure before contacting the school. Thank you!

 

[The Kube of Kubes]

I submitted same day. Haven’t heard anything yet.

 

[toothfairy1122]

I received a supplemental invite from them this evening.

 

[ToothFairy500]

I submitted my application back in June, but it still says "none" under the check status tab for AADSAS. Just wondering if it also says that for you guys.

I don’t think they start sending out until September or late august. Would have to check the past forum posts to see. But I have not yet.

 

[Sweetooth0208]

Did anyone receive an application complete email today? I submitted my supplementals and fee a couple weeks ago so not sure why it took so long

I submitted my supplemental about 3 weeks ago still haven’t received an application complete email

Got my application complete email today that says they’ll conduct interviews September through March

Does anyone know if we’ll hear anything soon? Last year’s thread said they sent out invites on 8/26

 

[todentornottodent]

Does anyone know if we’ll hear anything soon? Last year’s thread said they sent out invites on 8/26

In 2019 initial interview invites (iii) were sent out 8/16, in 2020 iii were sent out 9/2, and 2021 iii were sent out 8/26. The standard deviation between all those days is 8.5 and the average of those three dates is 8/25, so based on that data iii should've been sent out sometime in the last 17 days. So, it's within reason to say iii will get sent out in the next week. Obviously that isn't a 100% thing but I like having a solid estimate as to when they're sent out.

I have a general question that I have not been able to find an answer to elsewhere on SDN. I submitted my UPenn supplemental in July. Since I did not get an interview, does that mean I'm rejected? They have clearly viewed my app already if people who submitted in August got an interview so does that essentially mean I am rejected? Or do schools ever circle back?

Don’t stress yourself out. Sometimes there’s no true pattern to who receives their interviews and at what time, regardless of when you submit. Keep your head up! There’s still time. 🙂

When should I expect to receive an email giving the itinerary/instructions about the interview? My interview is in two weeks and still haven't heard anything from them since I was invited.

They sent mine out on the Monday of the week of my interview. I wouldn't stress now.

Does anyone know how many more rounds of interviews they’ll send out?

 

[bigsmile190]

Does everyone else’s status on the portal say “None”?

 

[dentalstuden245]

Mine does

Penn uses their own status portal if I remember correctly from their emails. They don’t update the AADSAS one.

I think it was only for supplemental fee.

This is the email from this September:

“One final reminder that Penn Dental Medicine does not communicate application status information in the AADSAS applicant portal. We will communicate status information by email or through the PDM Applicant Portal.”

 

[dentalstuden245]

Anyone get a random email from UPenn just now, talking about admissions portal?

Yeah it just shows if the application is completed on my end, nothing like it’s under review or denied.

 

[Ryxndek]

UPenn just dragging it out lmao. Every time I get an email I think it’s an interview invite but just a thanks for waiting email, lol.
