hey..can u plz tel when did u apply..wat is the date for ur interview..by wat means did u get the interview call.....waiting.....
 
Hey Indibds, its been like 5 days since you told you got the interview... If you cant give out the details to others about the interview call, then do not enter your information of success.... this is probably a place to share..... not a place to show individuals medals....... I have been following this website for a while... Most of the members are like this.... just give out half information and create restlessness in others... same goes with the score one score 90 and then asks should i retake it... common guys give us a break... this is not the place to do this... there are many who are waiting and follow this site for details.. pls do not put them on fire.....No offence please take it in the right sense..........
All the best to all who are waiting.....

I also agree with you , no one here seems or has the desire to share any information,I enter this web site many times a day to see if there is something new .
Last years I saw how are its people ,they are all cooperative and help each others.
I hope that we all cooperate so that god helps us to success and reach our goals.

There are many out here who have the same opinion like me... my self and few of us are on the other side now for this year... but this is just the beginning of interviews and etc etc for this year for many who are waiting, so be helpful and share proper information, so that guys waiting can really gain and not fret.........
All the best

Can you please tell us about your interview experience at the U of MN. Thank you.
 
yeah, tuftsyboy is right...You guys just want to scare everyone, and decrease the competition for yourselves...
 
hey,
I m wanna apply to UPENN too but I don't have work experience in USA. Is that a major criterion for acceptance in UPENN???
and the app form asks something like "postdoctoral training"..what do they mean by that?
I'll be waiting for some1's reply.
it would be a gr8 help..
I m all waiting for that and didn't apply till now just bcoz of that
 
hi,
it doesn't matter if you don't have any work experience within US.
even observation at some dental office can help your application,
need not be paid work,
again post doc training means any master's or any speciality training you have obtained after your BDS
hope this helps,
i would encourage filling up the forms well ahead of the deadline & keep your fingers crossed.
all the best,👍
 
Any chances if I apply now in U penn

As a Junior at Penn and part of the PASS, I would like to share what I think Penn is looking for in a candidate. This is based just on my current classmates.
We are 27 PASS students out of which 11 are from India. And the avg score is 90 among them.There r a few students with scores in mid 80's but they r from different countries.
The major thing I have seen is either students have had experience back home as a dentist or have no experience back home but studied MS or MPH in the US(there is one indian guy with a Phd).There are some others who graduated with some experience back home and some in the US as DA and others who have just had some DA experience here in the US.
The school just wants you to show them that u have been in touch with dentistry in some way or other after graduating.
Be confident, ask a lot of questions, learn abt the school thro the website and relax...Penn interview is very good and a lot of fun!
Good luck!

I think the essay type questions they give you to abswer are really important. I really worked on that for days because i knew that my stats were not all that great. good luck to all waiting

Congrats Saru . Upenn is a great university.Good Luck.
 
I got a letter from them Iwas so happy I tought it is the interviw date or something,but they needed my ECE transcript well I already ordered them on aug 1st.... they send the letter on sep 3rd and I got the letter on sep12. I was so mad why they don't use Email to contact us😡 so I don't know may be I miss the deadline this year. I like it when you have to put all document in sealed inveloped ordered to your addresse and send them all together.

But good luck to people who got the interview🙂
 
Hello saru88,
How did they tell you about the interview date?...post,email or call?
Thanks🙂
the invitation was posted by mail but i had to call them for the date confirmation as it said so on the letter
 
Thanks a lot saru!
So , I think we should just wait for their mail to come ...right? Its of no use calling or mailing them to know th application status?
Best of luck!👍
Do tell us about your interview experience!
Congrats again🙂

actually i was calling to check about my application status, i ve been told that they already sent me an interview letter to set the date of the interview and i hadnt recieved it so they are gonna send me another letter, i guess i am lucky cause the lady told me that they where waiting for my call to confirm the interview,she didnt know tha i hadnt recieved the letter yet,from what i know there is an interview held there every tuesday till late october,the people are very flexible and friendly they give u the chance to choose ur date, i love this school anyways ,i hope we all get there soon and crack the interview ,good luck to everyone
 
yesterday when i called upenn they said they will be sending mails to all the candidates in coming 2 weeks.......didnt tell abt the status of my application

I called them yesterday. the lady said they will send regular mail to all the applicants in a few days. she didnot say anything about my application status.
 
i wanna clear my point, they already sent me a letter 2 weeks ago to set up my interview date,currently i m outside of the states,and unfortunately my cousin didnt recieve the letter,so i told the lady that i need more time for accomodation,and she said that she was going to send another letter to fill a certain form and return it back, btw i applied a long time ago,so i guess people waiting will be recieving invitation letters so soon,good luck every body
