Does anyone know how many students are admitted in for ADv standing prog in U Penn ?

 

[toothmail]

i would like to know their intake too. it would indicate what our chances are.

my interview is mid-september.

 

[pinktooth]

Congrats Toothmail for getting the interview call.All the best
last year they recieved 650 applications,called around 350 for the interview and admitted around 35.
But an early interview is always better.
take care

Dear toothmail,

I believe you have been called for the interview , Congrats ! Regarding the application did you send a separate Statment of Purpose , or did you fill in the lines few lines that they have provided in the online application. Tell more more abt interview process, good luck !

Thanks ,

Zeb

 

[toothmail]

i did not apply for upenn online. yes i sent in an sop which was quite long.

you need to dress formally for the interview- suit only. no casual stuff!

Hi toothmail,
congrats on getting an interview call.did u fill in the proffesional dental experience in ur country and your carrer goals lines and then send a sop separately.There is so much to write in these applications I am confused

 

[toothmail]

well on the application form, whatever was asked i filled it in. but for the question where they asked for the SOP, i included an SOP separately. for all the other questions just fill in briefly- anyway you will be including your transcripts etc. so it shouldnt really be a problem.

hi

these are some useful websites that people going for the UPenn interview might want to check out:

check out this link from UPenn Dental website:
http://www.dental.upenn.edu/about/directions.html

about philadelphia taxicabs: you can even reserve a taxi online through this website but i am not sure how reliable they are
http://www.phltaxi.net/pages/fare-info.htm

on the above website there are also some more website links for philly which might be helpful.
phillyvisitor.com has discount hotel bookings at:
http://www.180096hotel.com/cgi-bin/pickinput?SID=PVR&LKF=PVR&Dest=PHL



as for the SOP:
i would say look at ivy league school and other highly ranked school websites and get pointers from there. you can see sample SOPs usually on their websites. search for it on google.

you can also check out some books on SOPs from your public library and learn how it should be presented. but make sure it is personal and looks like you wrote it. during the interview it is not too difficult for them to see whether you wrote that SOP or not by the way you talk and carry yourself.

the tips on how long an SOP should be etc. should be in those books and variouos websites on the net too. and you have to follow what the school prescribes as the maximum length too. Eg: BU needs it to be 300 words or so.

and finally, remember that most schools see the whole package and not just the SOP- so don't get too stressed out!

good luck.
