hey celestial...im new to this forum...still waiting for interview calls...gettin real anxious...when did you apply to upenn and what are your stats...
 
hey smiledesigner..looks like your interview went pretty well...good for you. meanwhile i'm getting really nervous about my interview call. I sent my application around 6th sep...my stats are 92/283/3.42...
you think i stand a chance of being called for interview?? :scared:
 
Hey naaz
That's just it, all of them(interviewers) make you feel good, but I would feel much better when I receive my acceptance letter you can never be sure. No interviewer will tell you on the face "I am sorry we cannot accept you". The decision to accept or reject is based on a combined decision.

With your scores you will definitely be called for the interview and how you perform there will dictate if you are accepted.

Hey Dewdrop I think you have mistaken. I guess Tumi is waiting to get a reply for the previous post. Even I'm a reapplicant and haven't heard anything from them yet. but we'll hear soon, I hope.
dewdrop said:
Did you mean to say you got a rejection letter? Sorry if that was the case 🙁
What were your stats? I'm pretty sure mine is on the way too :scared:

Hi guys

Have any 2007 applicant received a rejection letter from Upenn already?

Well, I called up Upenn today and a lady told me that they have sent my mail yesterday. I asked her if she knew what the mail contained and she told me that she was not allowed to disclose any info through the phone. So I am quite sure that my rejection letter is on the way.🙁

here are my stats:
NBDE 1-90
Toefl-110/120
ece-3.42
7 months of observorship in the US
no work experience in India

Good luck to all those who have received interview calls and others too
 
Hey dewdrop dont jump into conclusion that it'll be rejection letter. moreover, you have got a very good stats. so i'm +ve that it should be a interview letter. with this good scores you cant a rejection letter this early, that too without a interview. so hope for the best n don't lose your hopes 👍

I agree with Dent tex Dewdrop it is way too early for UPENN to be sending out rejection letters and that too without an interview!!
When I went for my interviewI was told that the first batch will be reviewed the end of this month.
I am sure your interview letter is in the mail.Don't worry🙂
 
hey guys.....got a UPENN interview too......had called up to check on my status and they said that i have an invitation and they are busy like crazy and are in the process of sending out letters.....have scheduled it for 17th of this month....anyone coming on the same day???

lemme noe if anyone received any information packet and interview agenda???

good luck to everyone...
 
hey mkot.....did u manage to schedule ur UPENN interview???good luck for ur tufts one!!
 
hi friends,,i am done with my first interview in upenn,,well what should i say,,its like interview is just for 6-7 minutes with each faculty and just 2-3 questions,,and all the questions from ur personal statemnt and resume,,whatever u have written just they ask from that,,so just be thorough with it,,,

hi naaz.....i had applied in july and received rejection in august...my stats are ..part1 86,gpa 3.4
 
Hey celestial sorry about that but I know that upenn's selection criteria is very uncertain because even I was rejected last year with the score of 87 and gpa of 3.65. but that was after my interview.

all the very best for ur interview👍
 
I have a question for those of you reapplying to UPenn....
I applied on 2003 but was not called for interview since my Part I was not that good...
I retook part I and improved my score and I would like to reactivate my application... I called UPenn and the lady said I have to send a new application and paperwork again since "maybe they do not have my papers on file".
Were you guys told the same? Did you send a whole new application and supporting documents including the new iBT Toefl? ( I took mine 5 years ago...)
I would appreciate any input from you...

all the best
 
hi sweetgal and cattooth, it was great to see you ppl at upenn. I could barely catch the 4:00 pm bus yesterday from philly, i was lucky or else i would not have got any connecting bus from NY to CT. Did I miss anything important after I left or Prince just departed all of you after the last clinic. Did you guys see any of the faculty later on before deprting or not. pls tell me as I am a lil worried if my leaving in the middle of school tour will count as a negative remark.
good to all

Hi Sweetgal and Rodent,
Nice to c you all here. I am glad that you alll made your way home smoothly.
My hubby picked me up at the dental school. We gave Sharfali a ride from Philly to Princeton Junction so she could catch a train to another place in Jersey. I got home in just a couple of hours after the interview. Now I am busy with work and preparing for my next Interview at the end of Oct.
I just realized how interesting the 3 interviews that I had or will have are
1. Purely interview not clinical questions asked
2. Interviews + Clinic related questions(more verbal and written test oritented)
3.Interviews+Clinical Exam

I guess they are wonderful experience.
I wish you all the best and get the Fex in a few weeks.
