I interviewed on January 24th and haven't heard anything yet. Does this mean that I'm waitlisted..?😭😭

I think Penn doesn’t establish a formal waitlist till their class is full in March. I interviewed on 1/23, so hoping we might hear back in one of the coming waves of acceptances.

Sorry I'm confused lol If their class is full, why would they establish a waitlist?

In case someone drops after committing and like decides to go somewhere else

I interviewed 1/10, but have not heard anything back. No waitlist or rejection or acceptance. Should I email and ask for an update or just keep waiting?

personally i would just continue waiting. i've done this for other schools and it doesn't really change the outcome

Does anyone know where to submit the deposit? I’m a little confused because I can’t find anywhere to do this on the applicant portal.

Once you submit the agreement form, it shows on the portal after few minutes!

 

[penguin37once]

Does anyone know how full the class is at the moment?

 

[sheepy567]

did anyone who got accepted after december receive the scholarship?

 

[Dr. Fele]

did anyone who got accepted after december receive the scholarship?

I think they hold onto the scholarships until the students are finalized.

Received a phone call for the deans scholarship but no physical mail/email yet

 

[Vibesdentalpositive]

I was hoping to see if anyone has information or can help with the waitlist movement in Penn. I am sitting on pins and needles; any help will be appreciated.

Thanks! That’s the plan rn, but I’m on a waitlist for another school, so we’ll see :’)

 

[cupcakegumdrops12]

I interviewed Jan 30th, and it’s my dream school but I haven’t heard back. Should I email them or send a letter of intent? Or just wait? For reference, my application was verified in November.

From my understanding UPenn doesn't accept letters of intent

 

[preden_2024]

Do they finish interviewing this cycle ?

 

[ToothfairyFutureDrG]

Do they finish interviewing this cycle ?

I was told they finish at the end of march. They are still reviewing applications

 

[Vibesdentalpositive]

I'm looking for insights regarding the University of Pennsylvania Dental School waitlist process. If anyone has experience with timelines, movement trends, or tips for improving chances of admission from the waitlist, I'd be grateful for your advice.

Additionally, if you've successfully navigated this process, I'd love to hear about what strategies you found helpful.

Thank you in advance for sharing your experiences!I am in dire need of help here
