They do not have rolling interviews I guess so they can call the applicants after their deadline.

 

[La fea]

I think UPENN does have rolling admissions. Will probably call from Oct.

hey, can anyone tell me that applying for UPENN without any work experience is worth or not, i have heard that they give much preference to work experience and not much to scores, plz suggest me guys

 

[nbde2]

can someone pls tell me

for reapplicants reapplication statement should be in essay format or just have 2 state any changed scores n work experience?

Also do we have 2 send any personal statement or just answer the 6 questions only?

thanx

Hi

How does UPENN inform the candidates about the application status? I mean through e-mails or posts?

 

[soriandra]

I got something in the mail saying my application is complete. Nothing since then.

My friend had a chat with one of the admission committee members and they told him that they are looking for people with solid work experience in US. Not some shadowing or volunteering as dental assistant.

wow I hope thats the same this time too.. i dont know why schools put pressure on us to do mph phd before dental school.. it doesnt even make sense.. those are the kind of degrees u should do AFTER dental school if u really WANT to do them..

[dent5]

Hi. Could someone please help me with this. Penn says they require 3 letters of evaluation. But I've already sent my LORs electronically through CAAPID. Is it necessary to send them paper letters as well now ?

 

[MDSDENTIST]

It is not necessary to send if you have already sent to CAAPID.

 

[dent5]

It is not necessary to send if you have already sent to CAAPID.

Thank you for replying. I'm so relieved as I didn't have paper LORs.

 

[sampu88]

[MDSDENTIST]

Not yet

 

[sampu88]

so has everyone been receiving those brochure books from upenn? got one today about the school with a letter saying 'thanks for applying. please be patient during the process. feel free to ask any questions.'

? is the book sent to everyone who applies? (seems like an awful lot of money being spent by the school :S)

It is all mentioned on their website for UPENN, You can send supplemental now. Also check for other school requirements. They dont usually ask you, you have to send it on your own.
